A little Mathematics for the uninitiated…

The battle of good versus evil is a 3:2 problem. 1 to 1.5 which means that good has 1/3 a chance more to succeed than evil. 3+2 = 6. As such, any deal with evil, must be initiated by good and Good must give up a third. What is this third?

1. money -evil must hold lots of liquid assets but good holds the fixed assets / commodities, gold etc.
2. sex -evil must hold eligible wives and husbands but good holds the most emotionally compatible
3. entertainment -evil must be allowed ‘fun’ while good people acquire wisdom, learn to sacrifice

Good must possess 2 things from evil

1. good must take the heart of evil -they must make evil partly amenable to good behavior
2. good must take the souls of evil away from the Devil. I will write more on this later

Then all is balanced,  more later…

The Gold Jacket read by me (first part)

Me reading from the first scene of my magnum opus: the gold jacket on Substack. I don’t really know if I could have done a better job intonating it. There are many people in my mouth, trying to talk along. IDK why!

If you have the time drop in and listen. It’s only 3 minutes. If there are requests, I could do more stories like this, for free.

But there are some pressing matters to touch on today. The world is on the brink of war and an economic collapse. There are 5 things to watch for:

1. Gold will hit 800RM /gram soon and as that happens, currencies worldwide will crash.
2. The US will then occupy Greenland, having the best weapons and forces.
3. The US will cause Arabia and many Moslem nations to fail due to oil revenues
4. AI will determine via meritocracy, a person’s freedoms and rights (to own stuff etc.)
5. There will be no more Internet as we know it

There are further things which are less certain:

1. Alien contact tries to establish a new empire, and breed into our genetics
2. Threats posed by Christians, spirit-filled and earnest are annihilated, except for the very wisest and useful, most die
3. There will be a standoff between Jesus and his Saints and the Antichrist and his followers -yes in the holy land itself, it must occur
4. People all over the world are sinning, believing that no one can save the earth, let’s have fun and take revenge too
5. Revelations is playing out even now. I will explain

There are a trinity or triangle of end times motivators. It is no secret but one people are using to make money and delay punishment from God. If you do not do the ‘system’, you are paid back for every mistake, pushed out of financial gain, even liquidated.

The trinity of in-working error is: superior race (serpent seed); corrupted religion (false teachings); politics (electing an Antichrist now and then, here and there). It shows in our popular culture and governance. More later…

 

Drank a coffee and worked out. Feeling energized. Want to talk more on the err triangle.

 

Race can be divided into 2: seed of God and seed of the Serpent. The mixing of seed results in inferior / superior races. Superior by means of cleverness and beauty, not by morals and godliness. Inferior of course, means a race is an evolutionary dead end, having expressed its genetic traits fully in servitude to surrounding races.

 

Religion is corrupted by touching the things of God where the Lord did say that nobody must enter the holy of holies without a blood offering. To be too close to God, even His symbols causes corruption of our spirit (somehow).

 

Politics is confusing. Every voter counts but the majority decides. To sum up politics in one phrase: Take from Peter to pay Paul. Poor Paul, Poorer Peter. Jesus lives!

Imagine what damage our  leaders can do from behind a curtain of legitimacy of the above sort. It happens everywhere, every so often.

 

I will add more theory here in later days... 

…

There were a few bones of contention between me, Jesus, and the evil mind denizens and their usual prey. In such days, men wish for death but death comes not. And this is just the beginning of pure suffering. Such as it were, nobody could stand this suffering, nor be balanced enough to dole it out.

There are a few changes to the mindspace, circa 3 for the moment.

1. Bad people control nothing but go everywhere they want
2. Good people must absorb suffering but maintain control in general and specifically
3. Do not destroy or kill one another in mindspace and if you destroy children, babies, and pure domesticated animals, there will be reprisals.

...

Helped sweep the shoebox. Was attacked a bit before we regained control of mindspace. Things will be more peaceful and concrete steps towards prophecy will be possible on the outside.

Making sure steps towards coding my language. I will be generating RISC Lua code which can access the Wimp and ToolBox. Crazily enough, the  compiler is in Python3.

My Siglos has arrived in Malaysia! Probably receive it by mid week. Can’t wait. Am starting to promote my KDP books. Maybe one or two may be bestsellers.

...

There was a request to see into where my books would end up. Especially 'iS'. To the best of my intuition, iS is republished in America, where it gains a cult following as it's overall a good book and more than enough food for thought. The 'success' some witches saw may pertain to my spiritual books like EOSotB and the Church Chart I made, also the concept of theomorphosis and 666. I suspect iS may be a cover for what God has planned for me.

Leaning more into the book (iS), there are 3 cool things that happen:

1. Geniuses gave it the thumbs up -it became known for starting a viral emotional analysis movement, a mathematical one.
2. Many Asians and Westerners shared love after sharing this book -it brought peace to their hearts.
3.  There was talk about the way we harness technology -computers, cars, weapons, etc.

It was nominated for an award(s) but never won anything nor did it bring me much money. I was asked to speak on it once or twice and that earned me a name as a philosopher-mathematician tho I never wrote another book like it.

The cover of the second edition is much better and a lot of typos were fixed. It sold decent and steady and made back the cost of printing. 'K Yap' became daily searched online and in book databases. I think on average, 10 people bought the eBook every day, and several paperbacks were sold daily as well. This was a constant thing. I made 50RM a day which supported me well. What I didn't use daily, I gave to charity -which was most of the money as I don't spend that much.

...

British mind forces were unable to stay in our Christian believers group even after we simplified the Gospel for everyone to understand. We were forced to freeze them out as they were attacking secretly and undermining prominent Asians / Christians from their country and abroad.

Seems prophecy is back on track. The Middle East is the focus and additional powers were released by the faithful and the Godhead, dimension merger with another Universe's King of kings. Together with over 20 joining dimensions, perhaps we will see starts falling like figs shaken very son. Sounds crazy?

Have made strides to finish Proto by tonight. I think it will be easy as I'm using arrays to shuffle tokens around and dynamically form up the appropriate Lua statements. You can  tell I am a novice programmer who takes days to do a task of half an hour.

Nobody reacted to my message yesterday. I wonder why? Perhaps it is a matter of life or death.

Prophecy just in that the Scythian allegiance may from up within 9 days -by the full moon. Also around  that time, I receive my Persian Siglos and maybe some money from selling my short stories. Think someone read 'Rose' -my story-poem, and I made a few shekels.  

By request: how I approach writing sci-fi / fantasy…

This is a list of things to add to. But today, we will learn basics of which there are 5, 3 are very important and foundational.

1. You cannot write a story -just any story. It has to be a feeling -not just any feeling. It has to be a desire -not just any desire. It has to be a concept -not any one concept. It has to be a paradigm [typical example, a pattern or model]. You cannot write just any paradigm but one that you have experienced. Then you can write any story with any feeling, any desire, any concept.
2. You cannot write without nuance. Not a draft goes by without nuance. It is nuance that keeps a flame alive -that drives you -it is perfection of a beauty you have captured that pushes and evolves a tale. Do not leave out nuance but let it grow and take the reins of your writing, even if you intend to write quickly, stop when you encounter opportunity / surfacing of nuance. Treasure it.
3. You cannot write a character as a character you have developed, has a personality, an arc. You cannot write an arc without experiencing an arc, a personality you never met or tasted, likewise a character you do not understand / know / support / revile / want to honor with a place in your nuances and in the paradigm.

Now there are 2 more we will touch on in brief and they are the reasons people may pay for your book and not someone elses’

1. You cannot stand out from the crowd without advertisement. I have walked into so many bookstores where a novelist’s work is just another spine in a shelf, not even a display stand or cover show. But an almost unmarked door. Why would you enter? The best advertisement is not BookTok or GoodReads, nor a Library. I remember reading about Google in Time Magazine. That was when I started surfing the web with ease. I would not have found Google amongst the millions of web pages out there. How did Google get a spot in Time Magazine? It did the extraordinary.
2. You cannot rely on gimmick or publicity. Rather it is placement. Be aware, and write for that placement chance. It only takes one placement in the right spot to trigger an avelanche. What do I mean write for placement? Give the intellectuals something to drop their jaws. Intellectuals lead the masses to read. Do not write a good enough tale. Do not write a different take. Do not be ‘individual’ but be instead curious about the world without and within, even within yourself as the author. 

To be complete, writing isn’t a past time, a revenue generator, a talent you exercise for accolades. If you want to be a writer because it’s cool and profitable you will never be a good writer.

Want to be a story-teller and you will tell other people’s stories -copy their ideas -polish their drafts.

Want to love your characters, your world, and you will turn into a stage playwright.

Wanting to be a novelist is to appreciate the printed page. The power of the printed page. Just like a swordsman, a fisherman have their nets and weapons. The writer is someone who fills pages, pages bound into a book, between covers designed by an artist. If you do not want and like to do this, you have no career as a novelist. Maybe you will be a diarist, a journaler, an essasyist, a flash writer of prose poems. Why you are writing that novel is because you love novels and all that go with it.

I smell books before I read them. I caress the covers in case they’re foiled and embossed. I weigh paperbacks in my hands and read the blurb on the back, then I turn to the first page, the second, the third and I look at the price -it lingers a while on my mind. Perhaps I would have to eat at home and walk to college that whole week -then I buy it. I read it on my bed until I can’t read anymore for tired eyes and throbbing head. 

...

By request, I was also asked how generally people are kept safe under telepathic threats. This is my idea and also Gabriel's idea, of which we agreed on 5 points, later maybe 7 more.

1. By logic (God's logic) people cannot have telepathy and be sinful at the same time. There is no way to be telepathic and even 'good' before the Lord. You may not live in one another thinking nothing of it. Therefore hedge against telepathic threats vehemently, and be as good as you can. Push everyone away, and draw near your family -just family who love you.
2. By logic (God's logic) people cannot be told and made to do things they don't want or love to do. Even God cannot do this. You must not give orders in the mind to those who hate you. You can only order around those who NEED and LOVE you.
3. Love is not the answer altho in God's Kingdom, action before desire is practiced. Love will soon wax cold so you must try your best to be sexy and attractive, especially men and women who are important. The more people 'love' you, the more safe you are.
4. By logic (God's logic) you may not seek security in PERSUASION. By this we mean do not be a false prophet and a false teacher (even false witnessing is bad). Instead, seek security in the fact that the Lord's prophecy is unfolding -in his elect -be their friend.
5.  If you have an evil person using / abusing you, by our (man's) logic, you should destroy them, whereas by our (God's) logic, you should forgive them. But the imperfect nature of this world, some do and some do not forgive, means you should teach about the gospel this evil person lacks. It is called spreading the news about the evil and making sure it does not root. Never let evil root in your minds and hearts. Pray, and my (God's) servants will cast it from you as you teach and learn not to attract that sort of temptation.

...

 

There are circa 6 ways people 'get over' things. There is the short way (3 points) and the long way (6 points). The hard way goes first, since I am still with all of you.

1. What you don't first consume will consume you
2. What you fear separates your mind from your soul. I will explain
3. The things you have done weigh on you thru your conscience. It must be reduced

Firstly, when dealing with feeling bad, people normally 'let it happen'. I encourage you to encircle it and conquer it. Say you mouthed off and everyone was offended and you feel suicidal(!) so you have to see the situation clearly (from all angles) and therefore be comforted in the knowledge that it is complete -your mess is understood not a rot in your heart.

Secondly, fear is a common result of evil-doing. 'I don't feel safe' -as I commonly hear, 'I can't trust my prey'. It is the result of fear that awareness and foundation (where foundation is like our deeper, arranged, systematic learnings) conflict and sometimes voices emerge (schizophrenia). So realize this, and keep yourself from fear as Jesus said, 'let not your hearts be troubled'.

Finally, the sum of your doubts -the things you can't assimilate for whatever reason (hangups, dementia, religious taboo) press on something called 'conscience'. And it is important always to have a light conscience. Conscience is like the ease of breath -a little heart that pumps emotions. It is here that we rely on an axiom: if it can't be fixed, it doesn't matter -not to me / I will pray for a higher power to handle it / I will read self-help / I will change -for God I will change. But realizing conscience for what it is is enough to stop burdening it for it leads to all ills and diseases -that beacon of distress and discomfort.

 

Were one to be gentle, then there are 6 small ways to a healthier mind:

1. I like to buy stuff. Owning useful / nice things helps a lot 
2. Thinking of / planning your future and what it holds
3. Doing something useful / charitable to society
4. Having hope in your heart, even small
5. Acquiring holy things / holy friends
6. Keeping a journal / vlog

I will explain: we are creatures of comfort. Be thankful for your possessions, clothes, relationships. We are social creatures. Upkeep it all.

We are creations (evolved or not) and we have a future, being sentient. We have a future whether we like it or not. We must plan -it makes us happy.

Third point is self-explanatory -increase your props among your peers (who may be kids).

Hope is a healer. It drives away woe. One of the first things evil enters is 'lost hope'.

Holy things, sometimes just symbolically or metaphorically, help lots. They signify an intent to change and accept the divine. I like them as well.

Finally, researchers have found bloggers and vloggers are all round healthier and happier. Communicate to the world. Let them know your ups and downs.

Adios friends…

This will be my final DogBlots post but you may find new content on YapsDiary.blogSpot.com every weekend, Saturday or Sunday. I will add to this post later and then that will be it. Take care…

I marketed my Kindle ebook on FaceBook just now. It has a better cover,

I think it ought to arouse curiosity. The blessed caduceus of the ABY and the Hajar Aswad of Mecca. A minor miracle that I produced circa 2014. Made it in Photoshop 5.x.

Feeling oppressed. These are the last few paragraphs before I retire DogBlots.

Showered and brushed. Took my meds. Telling you guys for the final time on this blog. May do a quick workout at midnight because I already ran this morning. Been talking to kids and westerners, other Asians and Russian leaders about why the western man / woman believes they are superior, mostly, and sometimes wholly. It is a bitter pill for some Asians to swallow -we are kuli / coolies, even unto today.

I am not a racist but the facts are that all different peoples / nations have their mental and physical differences. Be kind to those from other races. Scott, you should know this. Live to learn and unlearn your pain. Get well if you can and testify.

 

...

 

Thought I was done but there is more to say. I am actively coding for RISCOS and have bought a Pi Zero W to run my modified C compiler on. Spent days getting to where the grammar is mostly defined. Tonight, nothing much to do but code it.

 

I also bought a used NEC S-IPS display for $12. It's important to have 2 monitors especially when you're running 3 PCs. 

 

In the mindspace, we've been countering LiLian and the rest of her witchy army of evil. They have nothing to lose and are trying everything to subvert mankind because they will die in Hell most probably. It's time for new powers to emerge. There are plenty.

 

Today is 7d in the ABY, also the 7th of January 2026. According to Dr W K Chu, mankind unites and assembles, like of mind. We must not be lazy or risk losing everything. Leaders should ask for support / see if they are supported.

 

Worked out, brushed, and will take my meds now. Had some sandwiches for supper after all the walking, workout, and thinking. Will be another hour or so before sleep.

 

My novella, iS is published with Partridge Singapore now under my pen name C. K Yap. Check it out if you have the time for a quick lunchbreak or commute read. ePub is just 15RM. I bought the first one!

...

Am at our old place waiting for the Pi Zero W. Gave Cytron our old address by mistake. Folks are having lunch out. Parcel ETA by 2pm. Can't wait to load it up.

12pm, Liew witches gathering power. Take no prisoners. Had lunch bought by Dad. Now past 1 pm. Being attacked by children thinking I'm the evil witches. Discovered a use for my snap yesterday at New Town -wallpaper for my phone.

2pm, helped shift some furniture. Another hour to wait.

 

...

 

9th January, took delivery of the Pi Zero W but mistakenly thought it came with micro HDMI -it uses mini HDMI. So the SBC is safely in but nonoperational for now.

 

Meanwhile, Chegubard is stirring up support against an armed forces corruption scandal that might boil over here in Malaysia. Not sure what will happen or if this will be clamped down on by the Agong, Sultan Ibrahim.

 

Don't feel like doing any coding right now as I am still burnt out from the massive effort to learn pointer passing / assignment etc. a few days ago. Have to also remember to free the memory manually. Coding Proto could possibly take all weekend. 

 

...

 

It's well past 1am. I just showered and changed. Brush now. Drank more water as my urine is amber colored. Sleep soon, maybe by 2am.

…

I have ‘installed’ Puppy Linux which runs exclusively in my netbook’s capacious 12GB RAM. The CPU doesn’t get hot at all. Based on Debian Trixie 64-bit. And the Bluetooth works better. It can access my Windows partition. On the used ThinkPad, I replaced bash with zsh, oh-my-zsh, and powerline10k / autocomplete for that sublime terminal code bashing experience.

Finished the day’s chores and had a good dinner. Worked out earlier in the afternoon and will run tomorrow, a little bit, for more cardio. Feeling positive and healthier. Wrote a new guitar song as I normally do every few weeks.

 

...

 

My Pi 4 is hooked up and I now run 3 computers on my desk plus an iPad 10 for general surfing, purchasing, and social networking when I recline on my bed. Made the mistake of connecting my Razer to the Pi Zero which couldn't take it -maybe it was the extra features. It happily runs a regular mouse and my Wavekeys via wireless dongle. Right now am installing the C compiler tools which is taking a while to download.

 

Sis took Mom out shopping at the upmarket mall and they met my rich cousin who invested his way up. I'm stuck programming an OS from the 90s for no pay.

 

...

 

A new morning. Am recovering from a sore throat. Liew witches continue to turn the west against me. Am learning how to code C in RISCOS. It's a bit different. 

 

Had a microwaved brunch and am fueled up to walk to the bank. I need to deposit funds to get my author copies of iS shipped over. The charge is acceptable and should be quick for that price of almost 100RM.

 

Past 3pm and I have to go the the bank soon to make a deposit for the shipping charges. Feeling sluggish and lethargic. Sore throat is much better tho.

 

A lot of RISCOS documentation to read up (OSLib).

 

Helped make dinner for the Folks. Sis came over. The end looks nearer -calm before the storm. More antisemitism, more rage, protests in Iran may bring back their Shah, and the 4th King of Persia who is purported to be the antichrist / little horn. The walk to the bank and the grocer was good exercise. Paid the invoice for my free copies of iS. Was 99RM.

 

Almost 2am. Still wide awake. Just fixed the thumb drive issue, formatted it under Linux with mkfs.msdos /dev/sdb and it works well under RISCOS. Also backed up my SD card with win32diskimager. Took a while. There must have been some power or signal related issue as my wireless mouse kept getting disconnected. The SD card got corrupted. I switched to a different power cable and wiggled the USB port adapter, now everything's okay.

 

I have a dead pixel on my used NEC -at last, the 20 year old display gives up the ghost. Nice while it lasted. Hopefully can last until 2027. 

 

Forgot to take my meds and am sleepless at 3am+. Nothing much to do but play with my computers.  

…

Midweek and time for a run. My uncle freaked out and stabbed my heart, to think he’ll be a pastor soon. Many have sins in mindspace and are eager to shift blame. He doesn’t suspect millions of Christians and particularly Hindu-Buddhists already know his every thought and feeling, blind to the fact because he refuged in me and tried to close all the doors and windows.

We proved God thru chemical / biological telepathy. Why are there rare and plentiful elements / minerals? Why do cell commands go with Nitrogen -nucleus, and Hydrogen obeys -the cytoplasm? There must be a correlation between gravity and chemistry. And there must be a correlation between the Carbon ring and N, and H. These bonds cause telepathy or at least attraction. This afternoon I passed / not touching a girl with raging hormones and felt a prickling energy, like an electric field from her, the closer we came. It’s not the first time for me, but very rare. A sign that there are high and low level ‘attractions’.

When we do wrong, the Universe has to adjust. People we know are affected. You are not ‘dead’, just encouraged to feel okay again, ASAP. If you pass the blame or hide in the sand, people are discredited. And so on, you will naturally be watched, reported on, which indirectly causes diseases. Naturally there are also slavers, bounty hunters etc. normally people with ambitions.

 

...

 

Went for a run and was attacked with stroke by western kids. Thankfully, I'm still okay, and my body feels more regulated. Need to re-lace my shoes for optimum performance as the soles feel floaty. Can't remember how i adjusted my trail shoes right.

The mind wars enter a new stage. One in which there can be no hiding from telepathic crimes. There will be outrage over things staged and followed thru using mind techniques to control and blackmail others thru sheer fear and pain.

 

For those who ask: should it have been some other way better? The answer is 'not really'. Telepathy has been known and used for thousands of years. Should it have been more organized it would have succeeded but then God would have broken it up. 'Not really' is the best analysis, 'something like this'. 

 

And should I or anyone have broken it up? As soon as possible would be the right thing to do but the spirits of many were weak and it took a while of teaching and revealing before God allowed us to clear the mindspaces -well mostly so far I can see.

 

I bought a new hub for the used ThinkPad which only has 2 ports. This one has 3 plus a convenient card reader in 2 sizes. Don't think I'll code tonight. Maybe go over the grammar one last time circa midnight. Want to read my novella and just chill.

 

Past 1am. Uploaded another learning-music YouTube video to my alt/ channel. Always wanted to do music and be loved. Just worked out briefly and am feeling good.

...

People close to me are having bad feelings. I don't think they'll be going away. Teaching such people or beating them is counter-productive. Perhaps to talk to them and counsel them in general well-being.

Don't feel much like working. Take a break from coding for a while.

Edited MSS2 for re-release on KDP later tonight or tomorrow. So then I will have 2 novellas and 2 short story compilations. I can safely retire. Not sure when I will finish project TN. Maybe never...

 

Tonight will pull an all-nighter to work on Proto. Get it to compile simple logic, thru C, into a RISCOS CLI app. Next stage is to make the compiler accept more low level RISCOS functions, as well as the Wimp (GUI).

I’m writing project TN now. The ideas reached critical mass in my mind. I’m not sure how long this novel will be, if it will be a novel. But I can write it back of my hand. Will try to do a few k words a day. Finish by end January.

…

Bought a new energy saving mouse. Quite a cute one, cheap, by Philips. 15RM. My Siglos should leave NL any day now. By end next week I should have my first ancient coin.

Am publishing mss2 to KDP soon. Have fixed the ePub which was garbled by LibreOffice, and will upload tomorrow night. Writing TN will be a priority. Feeling better, less ill this evening. Not that many British threatening the world right now. There is some kind of conspiracy going on. Best to tread lightly.

Told the British how I successfully beat resentment -it’s a long process of internal reasoning / suffering. One that defines key milestones in one’s life, secretly, while we carry on, dress in our best, and take life in. And I was thinking: the shepherd struck, the sheep scattered. How true. Most people could use a friend like me -Jesus’ trusted man on earth right now. I need to do more, and  better work.

Just had dinner. Was okay. Mom is nauseous. We gave her Eno. Exposing the Liew witches is next on the agenda, and maybe I can do some writing circa midnight. Hope to collect my mouse tomorrow. It looks sharp.

Review : East Top T10-2 double sided C/G diatonic 10 holes harmonica...

I've owned 2 other harmonicas (not counting my chromatic 'Jammico' which somehow lacks soul), a Marine Band and a Bluesmaster. The MB was hard to bend and the BM was a bit thin sounding. Later, I purchased a cheap chromatic mentioned above but it didn't feel right and I seldom played it.

Last night, I got my first East Top. They are an up and coming brand in many harp players' gear bags and I thought I would see if they were any good. But I didn't want just any blues harp. I wanted something special I hadn't already owned.

Just a short preamble about reeds. The T10-2 sounds warm and sweet because of its easily de-tunable brass reeds. I wouldn't use it for overblowing as it's un-economical. I find it a responsive instrument I can play at low volumes and bend easily, without annoying my neighbors more than a performance instrument -unless I were a wealthy man.

A bit sore that these come in a cardboard flip top box lined with faux leather embossed paper. But there was a nice baby blue branded cleaning cloth and some waxy paper wrapped around the harp -it looked like someone cared albeit somewhat from the 1980s. Surely China has progressed!

Now the obvious, it bends well, being somehow very air tight and the resonance is good, as I said, those brass reeds do indeed sing. I may get down-voted but I prefer the T10-2 to the Special 20 which Dad uses (bought it for him -how many harps have I bought, omg).

Finally, what you've all been waiting for: can you peruse both sides of the harmonica in a song? What I found was, YES you can but not for all songs. I've done mid-song flips and they work fine provided you memorize those hole-to-mouth positions. One song I can think of that flips is "Put your Hand on my Shoulder" [correct me if I'm wrong].

You can also try, "He'll have to Go" which should feature a bend somewhere. All sound good on this harp. Trying to play the Phantom of the Opera is near impossible as it's in a minor key. Don't bother trying it if it breaks you, wind up feeling disappointed. All harp music is simple -that's my rule -what matters is how you apply rapid 'puhh' rhythm and that 'aww' sound, plus a few 'yooh' bends. We've all heard those stale renditions of "Red River Valley" all too many times.

Learn the way of the diatonic and you will be a happy person. Don't play Amazing Grace more than once or twice. Play Unchained Melody or Flower of Malaya, and of course Oh! Susannah. Anything that swings / rocks.

And one last thing (Hey, Steve!) don't munch cookies before your gig / practice.

Publishing my novella and coding FastCN...

I just submitted my novella for paid self-publishing on Partridge's website. I hope everything will go well. I actually paid in 2019 which was 6 years ago and just now submitted my MS.

So in the bustle of waiting for my parcel, prepping for being published, and writing on prophetic signs this coming World Cup, I forgot all about my applet, stuck on its search algorithm. There are some misconceptions in the logic which I need to think over such as two positives on one line -how do we cache that?

Worked out just before midnight and am feeling good. Tomorrow, will try to go on a long walk or a brief run. The rain earlier was really heavy. Try to lay down some more code before bed at 1am.

I was looking at the tech for folding phones and it occurred to me that we’ve always had the tech for spanning displays on Linux. 2 displays side by side would work fine provided there were a bend on each edge so that a widget say, might overlap the other display and not lose its sensitivity to touch.

Baking bread for a living…

Christmas is only 3 weeks away. I bought a grill pan oven, electric, to bake round, puffy flat sourdough bread in. I roughly estimate it’ll take about 10-13 minutes to bake thru as it’s not too thick. And with the commercial activity going on around here at the shoebox, I can sell a few of these a day for a small profit. Sourdough is premium in Malaysia right now and most bakers do not do it well. Their sour is slight, and does not distribute evenly. The crumb is also dry-ish.

I attended MIB and have a certificate in baking. They are a good school to go to. Friendly and charitable. And not stingy with advice. I almost found a girlfriend there as well. Fond memories. RIP Don Yong, master baker and all round good chap. We shall meet in the Kingdom of God.

I hope my oven works well as it was on sale, $11 including shipping. Shall have to scrutinize it carefully when it arrives this weekend.

I had a vision of me and the Folks breaking and dipping bread, drinking sips of wine. And of late, Mom has been attending church activities. Surely the resurrection is near.

And tomorrow, I get my flip sides harmonica. Seemingly something nobody plays like that (anymore) or seems to, from the lack of videos. I like the box tho, in faux red gator.

 

...

 

Seems the night draws on past 12am. Was checking on the World Cup 2026 kickoff times and they will be like all thru the night here in Malaysia. Can't sleep anymore come June-July so it seems.
