My EDC daily driver…

I guess my daily driver timepiece will be the one I like most after all. It will also do as a beater, being tough, and quartz. A practical choice of watch, with perpetual digital day-date, 200m WR, 12s/year accuracy. It’s my Promaster JP1060. The crown threading is super smooth, case made from bead blasted steel with a built-tough timing bezel. If correct, the crystal is slightly concave. I love the stubby skeleton hands in orange-red and the organic-shaped hour markers, lumed. The whole watch reminds me of a sea urchin, and a manta ray.

It went through several strap changes before settling on a Casio velcro in black. It’s easy to adjust in and out of air conditioning, and on muggy versus hot and dry days. I don’t feel it makes others jealous, looking like a Casio Riseman crossed with Outgear, from the 2000s. Could be mistaken for a Timex as well. More later…

Spent the day tweaking Qemu to boot, then installing some of my critical software. Prefer SheepShaver which loads faster. I think the BeOS guys were leaner coders than Unix programmers in general. Still need a way to transfer files to and from the emulator. Essentially, enjoying my last weeks / months on Earth before the sixth seal breaks. It can’t be long now. The anti-Israel sentiment is higher than ever, compounded by pervasive social media. It won’t be long till PMX is forced into a 3 way political-economic battle.

Typing this from my bedroom in our new house where we ate takeout fried noodles. Feel odd, stretched between two home bases while war rages in my mindspace. More later…

We didn’t fall ill from the dented bottle of oolong tea that we had last night. I’m always a bit paranoid as the blame game on me is pretty steep. Have a good way of transferring files out of Qemu, using hfsplus, a CLI utility. Writing files in is harder, using hfsexplorer to make a dmg. But that won’t happen much. Feel like taking this old PC to the new house instead of laptops and Pi 4s. Gotta have an iPad tho.

I joined a writers’ forum yesterday. Yet to post. Have to check my website hits now. Wish more people would read my books and short stories.

My foot has swollen, I made a theory of economics…

https://medium.com/@chnkngyp/commoncoin-versus-money-crypto-0c500700d6c3 -read my theory that money should be free. Just a short 1 minuter but it could change the world.

My whole foot is a bit puffy as fluid drains off from around my ankle sprain. Maybe I’ll take a walk tomorrow and work it off. Have to read up on that -if it helps. Meanwhile, Mom has made us a tasty dinner and I’m torrenting Mac OS 9.2 to use in Qemu on my OpenBSD rig. Taking forever.

My theory above, is that money was first formed out of selfishness and pride in the sense of its rarity and mutual desire for profiting. That is why it is paraphrased as the root of all evil. What if money grew like leaves, like blades of grass, so readily available that:

…Most focus on the 'something', when they should be concerned about the 'wanting'.

Imagine taking wealth out of the picture and putting in love of one another. If John Lennon were alive today…

These are bad times…

Transferred my BSD workstation to my bedroom for easy access. Feel like taking it to the new house too. It’s more convenient than a laptop to do serious, long duration work on.

Worked out twice today in preparation for my blood test tomorrow. I have high sugar and cholesterol for some reason. I am also a bit overweight. Haven’t eaten any sugary foods for 2 days. I will be quite surprised if I have prediabetes and hypertension like Dad. Can feel sugar lovers waiting for me to binge. Feels like being a rabbit around wolves.

My ankle is much healed. I can walk normally now. Got to be careful of twisting my heel, getting in and out of the car. I have settled the mood / style (cheerful and optimistic), and plot of my YA novella. It also has a title and proper protagonists who are teenagers, Jerome and Barbara. I hope I don’t get passed over for Rapture, being so absorbed with work and materialism. Talked a lot about good and evil, and what saves or dooms a soul. Some were not moved at all, just like in the days of Noah! More later…

Dad informed me that my BLOOD TEST isn't tomorrow. I can take it easy and be my sloppy self. Feel more like working when your computer has to STAY on a desk unlike a laptop or tablet. Having a dedicated workstation is motivating. Also my mechanical switch keyboard is much nicer to type with. Wondering if I should switch from the default ksh to zsh or tcsh. What do OpenBSD users recommend?

Slovak PM was shot in an assassination attempt. He was pro-Russia. The storm gathers.

Hail King William…

Much of today’s rumors point to an announcement that shortly Prince William will be King of the UK. It has consequences far beyond anything we might imagine. More than anything since the War of Independence in America. I am prepared to be astounded. And we hope Kate makes a good recovery so the UK might also have a proper Queen. This is good news for all of us in the mental health camp. More later…

So the first steps to William’s ascending the throne were handed him by Charles. It must be any day now. Liew forces attacked in the night, trying to cripple my foot. I fell trying to stand up, but am thankfully okay, and not in pain. Managed a milder run and workout. Had to loo twice but am glad to be fully cleared out. OpenBSD runs well on my Kabini rig. Later we may head out to the grocer. Tomorrow, a long walk around Amcorp-Decathlon. Trying not to eat sugary foods leading up to Thursday.

Been customizing OpenBSD. Mainly the Fvwm2 window manager. Installed Chrome and Emacs as well. Talked to my church about end times beliefs and standing strong in large numbers with other faiths or denominations sympathetic to Christ / His image which is BRDS. MingFen, FuWu, ZiLu in Mandarin. How else has anyone come to know the Lord?

My ankle is healing gradually. It should be good to go tomorrow but I will not brisk walk, probably. Just do indoor exercises and eat less.

Back to basics writing, capo is in the house, everyone evil got a cold…

I’m writing again, on my used Windows 10 Thinkpad with WordGrinder and MS Notepad as my w/p and outliner. The absolute rock bottom of software which only uses 11mb of memory compared to over 10x for Libreoffice Writer. I’m not even using my clever app, CHR. How low can an author go? The story is on the end times and will have a lot of talking and interaction with world events alluded to in the news, by messages and messengers, etc.

We pushed everyone evil who attacks in mindspace, to have a cold, not amounting to pneumonia. Hopefully they’ll leave us alone, these vandals of latter day.

My $3 capo is delivered. On my A&K acoustic, it sounds nice. Has a bright and clear tone. I think there are 3(?) pieces of transparent rubbery material held in line by a loose fitting bolt, pressed down by a woven elastic band. Can’t wait to use it with the C40 at our new place. More later…

We had snacks and green tea from the fridge at the shoebox house we’re soon retiring to. Had naan for dinner at SK. I wrote a new song during the rain, cooped up in my small room with the a/c on. Mom played the piano and Dad dozed off watching the TV. Saw a cute chick at the mamak. Unfortunately I’m not very eligible, being mentally disabled. Also made the capo comparison review video to go up next week. Tomorrow, have to make an early start. Take my meds and sleep well.

Mixed up routine, CHR beta is out, Fighting back against bullies, One day at a time, My new sliding capo…

Took a sedative last night and woke up on the floor with my watches strewn over my mattress. I had been strap swapping. Feeling quite alert, I went for my usual run and workout. Discipline is both mental and physical. And they synergize to give good health, to help power through prevention blockades. Don’t neglect to work out / exercise regularly.

Lately tho, my routine has been spread over 6am to 10am due to forces acting on my body, people living in my mindspace, afraid of false doctrines told so convincingly. We have to fight back against this enemy who comes with telepathy and signs and wonders.

CHR, my writer’s outlining app is finally done. Can’t think of anything more to add to this simple script but maybe next week I’ll have some better ideas. Get the python3 file from https://FreeLunch.my/apps/ which should also run on Linux with some mods.

In the face of troubles, I’m taking it slow, going easy on myself, not pushing too hard. Gradually achieving my milestones. So for today, I will just be writing the next installment of Time of Arrival.

Also expecting my Dunlop slide capo to arrive in the afternoon. Hope it’s good. Will be helping sweep in half an hour as Dad must be tired. More later…

Wearing my humble Q&Q moonphase quartz which I got for $14 off Shopee. Put it on a NATO for WR. quite a light and comfy wear, swim / shower proof as well. Has gained 12s since a year ago. I love moonphase complications and God told me to get one. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford a JLC.

Sweeping up is done. Feels much cleaner. Capo should arrive circa 1:30pm.

Rain has pushed delivery of my capo to Sunday. My long walk day. Wearing my Swatch AM51.

Being more relaxed, telepathy borne by one man…

I’ve been waking up later this past week. No more 5am mornings, but 7am instead. I take my time eating, running and working out, getting clean and brushing. I don’t work like a madman, breaking things down into smaller bites, just a few a day. 

Talked about suffering through telepathy and how it is not one person’s duty but everyone’s a little, in cooperation and dare I say, love. The reverse would involve spiritual “money” which many do not have much generated or stored. And as in real world money and power, there will be questions of trust and calls of unfairness when ONE man gives all and others take it. It even happened to Jesus H. How can we repay the Savior? All as one a little bit! More later…

US treasury official, Nelson, is in Malaysia, seemingly at odds with PMX Anwar over support for Hamas. It may be scant days before we see something explosive occur somewhere, even in our back yards. Just gave a talk to people seeking God and the nature of sin being bodily and philosophically located. Pleasure being a thing we don’t rightfully pre se, deserve, love of money being a perversion of coping with bodily discomfiture.

Wearing my 80RM Casio 800h, 18s behind the Internet time servers after over a year in my stable. Seeking a return to practical and economical living, just like TGV’s about turn from watch collecting. This Casio is definitely my most humble watch and will accompany me through the weeks ahead of possible early Rapture, walks, runs, shopping, showers, clinic. Its accurate, full time-calendar display, 10 year battery, comfy rubber strap, and 100m WR will be exactly what I need. Have I finally broken the spell of spendthriftness?

Made progress simplifying my app, CHR. But it’s still not working right. The Royals are acting up from behind Kate tonight. We are giving them every care and good faith. Hopefully everyone will realize that:
Young man, put your pride on the shelf,
No man does it all by himself —Village People, YMCA.
Nobody is an island though they may be a rock. William, you have to wake up to your socialization. The Liew witches are gone, soon if not forever.
