Friday 28 November

Was up early. Unable to get cleaned, just gassy. Maybe last night's diarrhea. We'll be going to the downtown mall for lunch. Brushed, will shower at 9-10am. Don't have much mood to code, this damp and cold morning. Liew witchy forces still working the mindspaces.

Back from the mall. Didn’t get anything for myself, just a light jacket for Dad who needs to keep warm, dry. Don’t feel like coding much but FastCN has to progress. Will be more diligent and hope to see better results soon.

Trying to find a way to ignore a character in a string from being matched. Like a wildcard. Decided to use a set of indices to define the pattern of 1s. By the side, I will plot the pattern it refers to in comments. And I will use 1-7 for black pixels and 0 for pixels that must be white. There will be 3 strings in an array for each row, keyed to by the ASCII the user entered.

Liew witches admitted that the west is an invaluable friend to the east and the east, somewhat stunned by Donald, has always seen America and Europe as good for money. Liews, you were wrong and misled many unto the brink of poverty and emotional desperation. Hereby the war in mindspace will wrap up well.

…

Feeling lazy after making dinner for the folks. There is actually serious coding work to get done. Or should I say comparing work. I have to look at lotsa characters, maybe a few hundred, to determine what are unique parts that fit in with 35+ strokes. The matching code I did earlier, and it was quite easy.

DIYing a papaya picker for Dad based on a video on IG [purple papaya picker] as it doesn’t ship hereabouts. I guess it’s up to me. Bought him wood essential oil. He somehow likes polishing stuff.

I drew this in Freeform with Apple Pencil. A 3-split Coke bottle with rubber band seams. Note the out turned lip to avoid abrading the fruit. This was my original idea in the raw but it was reinforced by the PPP, mentioned above so we’re gonna try making it.

Past 11pm. Just brushed and took my meds. Thinking of heading out tomorrow on a long walk. It should be a cloudy day according to forecast. Slight chance of brief rain at noon. Will do a quick workout at 11:30pm. Seriously need to analyze the char strokes this weekend and finally release FastCN, as all the logic is in place and the data too. Next week, appointment at psych clinic for my monthly Arip jab. Looking forward to seeing my shrink again. May buy him something for Xmas as my money situation is stable this month.

Almost 2am. Feeling sleepy despite taking a cup of coffee for some odd reason. I redesigned my eBook’s cover. Looks great, see DogBlots. Also worked out earlier and am feeling good. Did some work on the stroke dicrionary as well. Finished a quarter of it. Rest is harder.
