Cancer givers from my family…

Failed to order my traditional flute...
It wasn''t shipped for 2 days so I got a different one from Anson Music. Cost almost 80RM. Made good headway debugging net4spice. I need to search inside the node forming, to add additional relevant children. This means that I can't condense the node until after. Cool.
Liew witches threw a net of babies over us Christians, asking all sorts of questions. We froze LiLian’s hand into a claw. May take some hours to revert. Perhaps we won't let it, since she breached last night's deal.
American witches went berserk trying to find sins in me and were given the same frozen hand. I do pray they will lose their hand before I lose my hand -it's only fair.
Had chapfarn for lunch again. Tasty and healthy, with some bird's eye peppers. Feeling confused over the node-finding method. Since my stroke, it's been hard to think well. Watching the news while typing this. It's all coming true, parts and pieces, what God promised.
LiLian is going down at last from a gambit strategy, I lay down my life to take it up again. The TV2 afternoon news is on. Tomorrow, I get a new flute. Can't wait.

Helped Mom make roast chicken with Grill Mates BBQ sauce. Smells really tasty. I think it’s the bell peppers and chili flavor.
Rumors that Iran sank 3 American ships. Been watching YouTube and am amazed that much of the symptoms of nasty diseases match with what the evil witches are openly doing to my body, and failing for the most part. Most diseases seem to be a compounded effect of witchcraft. One niggle leads to another then bam! You have a condition leading to another and finally a life threatening disease.
I have decided to unload my 2 remaining copies of iS to BookXcess this weekend. If it’s a hit, they can order more.
…
I have resumed writing SDU. Did about 800 words. Need to finish half the chapter by tonight but am being prevented. Want to write more characters into chp 8. Tell their interwoven stories, all while Derek breathes his last.
Just worked out and drank some soy milk to fuel the writing. Need another 800 words. Friday to publish chapter 8 here on DogBlots.
Was listening to Write Conscious on YouTube and Ian was talking about David Foster Wallace and the last of the great writers who spoke / wrote from their deep experiences and scars. He calls most of us 'nerds'. I once said society cannot be built on controlled chaos so in essence I agree with WC.
Well back to writing.

Looks like today for n4s…

I ordered a TV set top box...
My salvaged TV is old so I need a digital antenna to analog set top box. Found one locally on Shopee for just $9. Hopefully can catch some matches from the World Cup this June.
LiLian and her forces are smiting us, just as Donald has declassified the UFO files. 'Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but powers and principalities of the Prince of the air'.
Coding is going well. I am now more aware of why the node numbering failed and am trying various 'clever' solutions.
I successfully strung my C40 with the bit too short nylons from my Kepma. Didn't think it would work. Touch wood, they did. I don't think tying knots on your guitar strings is a good idea but I was a little desperate and definitely stingy. But the knots have plenty of loose end so I guess they'll hold. Sounds pretty decent.
Already past 10pm. The bathroom light is still shorted out. Haven't read Not Here to Stay much more yet. An interesting beginning, I think, and a good book overall.
...
Was just talking about how LiLian (the Liew witch daughter) used Biblical references to play out UMIST postgraduates while I was studying there. She did several groups of foreign and local students. Indeed the feet of clay and iron came apart.
Am still coding, now going well. I needed iterators for different classes of data -the transistor row, the referenced transistor(s), and the normal single i/o components. Quite an odd way of doing things.
...
I now have the nodes for net4spice / n4s. Will proceed to the simulation stage after dinner. The way I did it was to define a junction by all the components connected to it, then simplify via Python's sorted and set functions. Had to do a main loop over the wired list, then for each component, do a scrape over the wired list. Then write to the node list. I began n4s in February and finished after 3 months.
The simulation is almost done. Need some regex to create the netlist statements. Will resume coding at 11pm, need a rest. Liew forces in disarray.
Brushed and took a shower. Will take my meds at 12:30am and work out after 1am.
Past 2am. N4s is held up by how best to join select list elements from one long list. Liew forces pain-giving again.
…
Almost solved the component properties thing. Then we can simulate, later, join circuit blocks, then that should be all for some time.
Liews attacked and were put away, dying in every cell of their bodies. Like I said, it is quite easy, telepathy is very dangerous when you’ve angered many people.
Some setbacks. Bugs in my code. Incomplete lists, perhaps the old node junction bug. Soon time to sweep and mop our shoebox. Will take a rest. Continue after dinner.
…
Past 1am. Worked out. Took my meds, brushed. Feeling okay. Wearing my Promaster diver quartz. May venture out tomorrow on a long walk. Still tidying up net4spice. Problems with my loose and friendly data syntax. Nearly there but am too sleepy to code more.

I rearranged my table and some of my electronics...
I slept at 5am, waking after 5 hours. In an hour, planning to visit Kinokuniya to check out a book by a friend. It cost a whopping 90RM but to be fair, is quite thick and I would like to review it on my Medium.
Haven't had any inspiration to write SDU chapter 8. I guess I'm a little burnt out and should rest today. Still an hour till I head out. Maybe I will do a late outing rather than try to cram my life into fixed time slots. Go around dinner time. Want to play with my Pi Zero more.
Out of nowhere I wrote a song. Best in months. It's on Tumblr @donutwares and YouTube, ChenKuang YAP. Marks my return to steel strings. It wasn't really out of nowhere but to remember meeting someone nice. My ex-GF was jealous as it seems all such songs sound better than the ones I wrote for her. If she does arrive, I must remember to write the best.... which sometimes doesn't happen.
