I've been watching tech videos...

People saying they like the Macbook Neo, or spent $150 on a Linux ThinkPad from 2013. I spent 1.1kRM on my IPS screen TP x250 with Core i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. It has dedicated trackpad buttons which is great for running Linux's select-middle click, and a comfortable backlit keyboard. The build quality is great and it doesn't mind being left on overnight.

I use Ubuntu Sway as its OS. And with a 19" NEC 1990FX I bought used for 50RM as a second display, overhead, manage to get a lot done. It's a budget setup but I think, an intelligent choice of old but durable and top of the line constructed hardware, mated to industrial grade GNU / Linux.

Currently, I manage my website, KoangDeLambe, process its graphics, write my novel(s), and code Python scripts all on this setup. Sometimes, I record simple songs via a BOMGE USB interface and Shure mic.

I have always preferred gaming mice for their smoothness and accuracy. I use a Logitech G102 with toned down deep red LED lighting, circa 60RM, albeit wired. It operates well despite the cable which I have neatly coiled and tied.

My other computer which I use all the time is an iPad 10 I got 4 years ago. It is my go to machine for posting on social media, taking photos / videos, online purchasing, watching YouTube before bed etc. Can't live without it. I paid over 2kRM for it, new, which is okay because Steve, then Tim were my friends.

More later... 

I got pushed together with some musicians and we were feasted on by a demon woman. It ought to have generated some songs, and sure enough I had one. Joe was right about whipping Michael. Just not too hard which I'm sure he obeyed. After all, everyone has a mother too.

So we had to break up for being used to prey on one another's weak points and career directions. Kurt couldn't take it. He was a beautiful mind and they tend to like growing in the same bucket they always knew. Those who moved or tried to were poured in salt water. 

I have my fingers in many pies so I get burnt often. Hey, Beeb, you'll shine again very soon and Paul, so many great songs. I'm just cobbling together my simple melodies in my 50 years on the blue marble. Not quite competition to anyone. But I do enjoy the chords when they fit. And the words, if they do too.

I guess I just want to say, I read the suicide letter. Can we say 'suicide', and every time we see the thing, it's always got some element of east vs west. So we know, tho they throw it into the margins where it blurs somewhat, that the person is a racist, inhuman predator, chipping away at the delicate sanity of those with open hearts. Why don't you lizards feel love? It's the greatest feeling you've never known.

And the corrupt souls you drag behind a kindly smile that twitches. And the bustle that never stops that has become your heartbeat. So you don't remember that guilt and pain are different, which one comes before or after and who was the one it came from.

In the end, the winners are those on the stage playing the parts wrote out. Sure you know easily, evil will lose so why be good? Then drag the good down so evil will win a hollow victory that means nothing. And the meaningless lives you live, pushing and pulling on stale air, there's no sense in taking another breath of your corruption. The lines blur when you scrub out the markings so you can win and then smile to the wind as it takes your prize. It will come again. Maybe someway the wicked will find rest. Maybe the Bible will be wrong. And God not come again. Dream it if you like then turn to check the shadows, drag in another Christian to feast on in your rituals of feuding.

I ran my new novel’s 1st chapter thru DeepSeek…

DS is pretty well balanced in critiquing my works. I remember it absolutely trashing the Wa language and being very strict about the Wa2 language. I invented the languages for quickly learnable communications.

In the case of my fiction, it has been getting pickier and bolder overall, as if it knows what I’m doing wrong and why. I think it is learning my style, its weaknesses.

Of course, I never take its advice as that would be wrong, but I am always curious about the balance between; should I scrap the book, or carry on? What does the world think?

Even if I had a beta reader, it would be wrong to use him or her to read my unfinished chapters, even for fee. People can only eat up so much of your self-inflated trash. But a machine, no problem. I would love beta readers to read my final work, after I edit it twice, myself.

DeepSeek loved my central character which I expected. One robot sticking up for another. It caught on that I was insinuating an interface and code of morality between bio and non-bio organisms or parts thereof. Please don’t steal my idea wholesale… yet. Maybe in October. And no, it is not quite Asimovian but in the spirit of the master himself.

This time, I may not be releasing any chapters for you guys to read unless Tribulation occurs suddenly and we begin dying. Liew witches still trying to push me to suicide. I put a thorn in the corner of their eye, and they’re crying over the prevalence of cruelty in these end times. It wasn’t me who started this fight or who wakes up angry every morning.

 

. . .

 

Back from a brief run. It really sets my organs functioning better and only takes 5 minutes. Great thing is that at this time of the night, it's fairly dark and I do like the privacy and quietness. I will be trying to install Tiny11 (a form of Windows 11) tonight but its script seems slow generating the ISO. I couldn't run as fast as I liked due to a stiff, sore right knee and  a weakened left leg. Liew witchy forces piling the hurt on my friends and family who need me. They don't know or care how much power people possess naturally that we've been leniently doling out.

Tiny11 is taking all night to make the ISO. Don't feel much like writing yet. Maybe stay up late tonight and write at 1am.

3am and wide awake -again...

I managed to work out at 2am+ and am feeling good. Ate up some leftover yogurt. We did a session of analysis in which I tried to prove God's existence, the universe's creation, the possibilities of a multiverse, what exactly is Allah who is not Jesus' father, nor the Father, nor YHWH etc. We talked a lot about basic physics, e=mc^2 and v = f.lambda, and how gravity is really magneto-gravity (dark) which contrasts with electo-magnetism (light). We talked about meaningful reality, how we don't see beyond horizons thus assuming a flat earth, likewise we don't see beyond magneto-gravity so we cannot know more of Heaven than Allah. Allah is the gate of heaven. There may be many gates, but we know and experience just one. Every universe has its god -and ours was evil until YHWH intervened thru the opportune entry of Iblees the cowardly angel of truth / light.

To any religious person, I do apologize for offending anyone. It was a lively discussion in which we discussed the very big and very small physics effects and how the observer theory is mostly correct (quantum mechanics). Many returned from this short sermon full of the love of the Divine One. May all your religions bring you peace! Happy birthday to Mohammed, peace be upon him. We talked a lot on his birthday, like it was blessed.

. . .

There is peace for now and I am doing some light coding -think I got things mixed up tho the code is simple and neat. It is the indices of ccT -the component node list of lists.

Drank lotsa Coke. Am feeling good. People seem more optimistic. I machined them together, both loving one another for dear life, now are partners in Gospel exploration and beyond -unto heaven.

British made me promise to advocate the proof of God so I will KoangDeLambe it maybe tomorrow. Should be fun to do. We also talked on psychology and now everyone's mental health is more hopeful -there are cures for most things. Wait for KDL's comic strip.

I am still coding n4s. It looks to be close to success as soon as I properly index the ccT list of lists.

. . .

Today I should get my $100 in. Managed to get cleaned well and showered. Ate roti telur for brunch, now almost 11am. Cola cleaned my teeth, but always rinse it off after a brief time as it is acidic. Am still coding. Rumblings of writing another novel / novella. Not sure I have one in me.

I think it shall be an extension of my flash piece, The Secrets of the Dimension Masters. It will be character driven as the repetitive plot turns over the same frustrations, then reveals a few twists along the way.

I wrote one page and will carry on later tonight. Solved the syntax bugs in n4s but am faced with odd node values. Something gone wrong somewhere. Probably the index assignments. But the algorithm structure seems still to be okay and non-complex.

Finding some odd quirks about the example circuit I'm using. Could be the reason my nodes are wrong. Needs further investigation, how to code quirks like these. Meanwhile I wanna work on my story, SDM. Mom has asked me to make dinner. We'll be having tofu drizzled with garlic oil and soy and baked beans with mince. Dad insisted we get her a coffee so I got the Zus mulberry matcha 3 layer tea.

Things are looking up.

I wrote 1k words of SDM. It's going well so far. Now to switch back to coding. Will write/edit 1k words a day consistently, to finish in 2 months. I usually edit on the fly and sometimes step back after a paragraph and rewrite it. Of course, I also do a once over read thru and edit, plus a final spellcheck and gremlin removal via AI (I rent MS Office for a month). OSC doesn't need these, he's a cut above, just as I am a cut above re-drafters and shufflers. I sometimes wonder how both types of writers exist.

. . .

By request, how to avoid tooth decay. There is no surefire way except to strengthen and build enamel, between brushing regularly. There are 2 ways to do this. Eat less gluten (bread), instead eat toasted oat muesli (Alpen) with fresh milk. Along with this, eat lotsa raw celery and carrots with yogurt. Eat less sugary foods, replacing them with stuff like bitter coffee, matcha, flower tea, etc. When you have cake, don’t eat the icing and if you do eat brownies or jelly beans, things like that, be prompt to brush. Brush with soft dense bristled toothbrushes. Secondly, you can boost your enamel with special expensive toothpastes. I use it and can recommend Colgate gum strength, plaque release.

By request, how to delay early onset baldness. I read an article that worry or stress causes white hairs. Baldness, I have experienced myself, it came with extreme levels of stress and worry. Overnight, I was thinner on my left side, where the worry in my mind was concentrated. So I feel like an authority on balding. Basically, don’t let yourself be without comforts. Jesus is a comfort. So are my works / deeds in his name. I lean on the Lord lots when I’m stressed and I know nothing I lose will be as bad as losing my salvation. To take away minor concerns, you must be productive and sometimes able to tangibly feel the fruits of doing well and doing good. When you make the connection between health or stress-free living and good clean living, you will age slower.

. . .

Just worked out and am feeling good. Had some food earlier to build up muscle mass. May sleep by 3am. Was telling people that my most inspirational thing is my book SuperdereK UnderpantS. It is inspirational and fun to read. Whereas project SDM is somewhat less, being just a thought-provoking sci-fi story with twists.

. . .

Managed to get cleaned well at last. Afternoon is still early. Drew another KoangDeLambe comic strip at the usual URL. Folks are gone to the old house. I got my $100 and will save it towards a Macbook Neo if possible. The USD-MYR rate is down from 4.1 ot almost 4.0 but not sure about the memory prices. Hopefully I will be able the purchase the Neo on my birthday, 3 months from now. Quite excited over it. 

Will resume writing project SDM in a few hours. This is one story I did not outline and am just pantsing from start to finish.

. . .

Spent the night fighting with the Liew witches. The westerners are adamant we solve her insurgency ASAP. We actually have no weapons prepared, being a jail and a hospital, a radar installation. But we did the best we could.

Now past 2am. May do a bit of writing later, sleep by 3:30am. 

I designed a simpler compact compound bow...

 

Since I started out with my Mission Hype DT, I realized I had always wanted a smaller bow, and a lighter one. By curving the limbs upwards, the riser can be shorter and lighter. The limbs, rather than compressing, would expand. They could be laminated with tapering strips at a shear angle to the horizontal.

The grip is thrust forward to increase draw length without increasing the bow string length. Cables are also affixed to the S-shaped cams, providing more torque and less complexity.

This is a simple innovation but one that could reduce the cost of compound bows, allow participation by children, and make them more portable.

. . .

I have started on a new novel idea. It's sci-fi, and about dimension shifting. There is a catch / twists which make the book exciting. Am outlining the plot and inserting the characters. Think I can write it in a month if I write every day, circa 1.5k words. There was a lot of down time in the mindspaces so I thought of filling it up. Apparently Sara Lubratt's novella will be sold at MPH but that's around Xmas.

Already past midnight. Have brushed, took my meds, and showered. Workout coming soon. Felt good. Want to talk about a better bow sight.

This is my 'capsule sight-rest' design. It takes the arrow weight and dials the spring tension so the arrow is horizontal. At the same time, this sets the spring / sight pin tension so when the bow is lifted (to shoot far), the sight pin drops by the appropriate amount. It looks simple, but internally, it is a bit complex. 

. . .

Was up lateish. Managed to get cleaned well. My weight is still 1kg over. Don't know how to lose it. Maybe go on more walks. Will be at the mall later. Don't have much to buy tho. Brushed and will shower soon. Liew witchy forces messing with our minds / friends, hit by muscle growth. It is mostly harmless and reversible, tho not immediately so.

We told the story of how fragile the word is when people all use telepathy. How in the last days Chinese people protect the world inside and out. And our plan is a modular, fail-safe plan, ongoing thru all efforts to undermine God and his prophecy. Tonight, we will discuss dealing out something different for our futures. I bought a bottle of low sugar Coke. 

 

Researching Revelations…

They say if you keep at it, you’ll get something from it. I am decoding the part of Rev. where there was war in Heaven leading to the emergence of the 2 beasts. This is in tandem with a publisher considering my flash piece of similar topic.

I feel quite certain I understand the vision John shared and how it will apply to the modern world. Also, signs around when it will occur. I will then sketch it up in a KoangDeLambe comic strip sometime tomorrow or circa midnight. 

Of course, there is no guarantee my story will make it, but it would be a nice coincidence if it did. No guarantee we can understand Rev. fully either.

Now almost 9pm. Will take a rest and code / draw a bit at 10pm.

 

Coding (debugging) is about half done. I need to sort out some more elifs. The latest KoangDeLambe comic strip is up. Go view it if you can. Spent almost an hour researching it and was worried it would not fit on one page.

 

Worked out at 1am and am feeling energized. May sleep by 2am. Was thinking of resting and debugging further. Debugging is proving a little harder than I thought. Lots of weird node values coming out of nowhere.

 

. . .

 

Managed to get cleaned well and am no longer bloated. May venture out at 3pm on a long walk. Should do the Taman Jaya - Asia Jaya route. Seemingly, I gained 1kg overnight. Maybe it's just water retention. We'll see after the walk in the sun.

 

Mom says the air quality out is awful so I may not be able to go on that walk. Lotsa particles, she claimed she could feel. Had lunch of curry and sourdough bread. Talked to some people (from the western regions) about the Beast System over the mindspaces. Talked about prophecy broken -for reasons unknown. And how my situation became the way it is thru no fault of my own. 

 

Good fortune, my net4spice code is working better. I shall soon have the exact results, I hope. Think it's mostly the 1 or 2 / input or output, that got mixed up. Taking  a break for a while. 

I have this old electric mini naan oven...

When I first made my sourdough bread, I noticed it was moist and rather tasty on its own. Things being the way they are, I was thinking of reviving my little one-man bakery to get the most out of our flour and barley meal.

My recipe consists of,

1. Oil
2. Water
3. Atta flour
4. Salt and sugar
5. Milk powder
6. Yeast
7. Vitagen (cultured sour milk)

I don't use starters, so the whole thing ferments overnight in my a/c room circa 25C. Then in the morning, I roll the mix into flats and bake them one by one in the tiny oven.

From what I read, not too much oil, and maybe a little bit more water will help the dough rise better.

. . .

Many minds pressing in on me. I need to rest. Will begin coding at 10pm. Managed to get cleaned well. Will shower soon. Had a few games with SeTT's AI. Conservative play wins the day so it seems. Never let the AI get in between your pieces and attack from both sides.

Seems LiLian and her family have problems. They are pleading with God to use supernatural healing as they took hostage certain important people against the new powers.

Remembering Jesus said my money will come from a house -substantial money, I proposed that the old bungalow be used as a motel / hotel by backpackers. Lotsa people moving thru PJ could lodge there for a small donation. I would need to renovate the bathrooms and to put in some cooling and dust filtration. What does the family think?

Brushed, took my meds. Workout at 2am. 3am, just managed half a workout since I ran earlier. I'm learning about writing from Matesic on YouTube. Today, I learnt about using exposition. It's a tricky skill. This is odd as I don't write anymore but useful for my comic strip.

. . .

Drew my comic strip on KoangDeLambe. Took a shower. Managed to get cleaned well. Coded quite a lot and it's now past 6pm. Will run circa 8pm same as yesterday. 

. . .

Finished my sweeping chores and managed to get my bike tyre pumped up well. Also fixed the tone arm auto-stow with WD40. I took apart the turntable to see if anything went wrong inside but it was just minorly dusty and mostly sealed together -nothing to tweak. Well -glad it works again.

Showered and changed into my running attire. Now 4pm. Will take a break and code at 4:30pm.

Was almost overrun by Liew witches’ lies, having exposed me to a jury of millions of kid and baby minds. I am not perfect but am not a fool or evil person either. Nor am I vengeful, nor do I go behind people’s backs to screw them such as the Liew 6 did. I also don’t enter others’ nerves unlike the Liew 6. Nor do I form up masers or other weapons and point them here and there. Nor do I hate any one person except sometimes the Liew 6.

. . .

Bought Dad an electric branch cutter, well actually I just helped him order it. I have 36RM of credit left in my debit account.

The weather is quite hot and there is a burning odor in the air. I have yet to solve all my coding bugs. Perhaps will work a bit soon. On Monday, I need to draw another KoangDeLambe comic strip. I think it will be about Tribulation, and a few unexpected but logical happenings.

Have just finished researching the material. The strip will be my longest yet, and span a whole page (usually just 1/3). A short rest, then coding resumes.

Cooked dinner for me and the folks. Finished writing 'Broken Hearts' -a song I wrote for Emily. Just 3 chords and it repeats quite elegantly. Quite a memorable melody and lyric. I shall be able to play it on cue.

My speakers are now on thumbtack spikes. I feel they sound clearer and sharper. Will rest a while, then code, and draw. Tomorrow is 8e ABY. I think I know the meaning of the sutra. I will receive a watch from Japan bound in box, rice paper, and fabric, like I saw Britt Pearce unbox on YouTube. It has something to do with the diminishing of computers and my novella (probably iS) being circulated. I dropped off a copy some week ago at BFBW. 

Witchcraft and sorcery…

I have just updated KoangDeLambe with a new comic strip. This one is on witchcraft and sorcery. By request, I am to give out some more background on sorcery that we might fight it effectively.

The Bible (Revelations) mentions people would use sorcery until the very end. Being sinless does not protect a person from witchcraft as he knows many friends who are a little sinful which is enough to spark fear.

Fear, like a herd of buffalo, causes a mass effect ‘magic’ which can be directed at anyone good or evil. The solutions are simple and many. The best ones, as mentioned before IIRC, are;

1. Have as little to do with money / wealth as possible. This is hard but do not value material things over spiritual things by being a little frugal, and not living luxurious.

2. Have as little to do with sex / women or men as possible. Also pretty difficult, but at the very least, learn to be gentlemanly in all its respects.

3. Jesus told me to tell everyone to think of Him -His was the ultimate sacrifice, one that lasts forever -His words do not pass away. So don’t call for Brother Yap to solve this or that. Go straight for Jesus Christ.

. . .

Switched to Thorium-browser (a fork of Google Chrome). Pretty nice and speedy. I have now tidied my room and tomorrow may head out on a long walk. Feeling sleepy.

 

. . .

 

I didn't get to go on a long walk but I went on a medium one instead, to Decathlon to get a new pair of shorts. My regular orange pair had seen better days. Luckily, there was a sale on cotton tees, 10RM a piece. So I spent almost 50RM to get both tee and shorts. They both look great. So my wardrobe now stands at:

 

4 pairs of home-wear (3 Tarmak,  1 Domyos, shorts, 6 eagle king tees)

3 pairs of out-wear (2 Decathlon 1 Under-Armour tees, 2 Dec, 1 Millet shorts)

1 pair of smart wear (Batik shirt, formal shirt, 1 long pants)

 

Somehow I don't accumulate much clothes. 8 outfits is all I got. And I tossed out 3 pairs of shorts and several tees that had seen better days, some of them were a bit pricey as well. 

 

Worked out. Was good. Now almost 2am. RISCOS refuses to run Python3 tacked on from RISCOS Direct (RoD). At least the wifi is stable.

 

. . .

 

I am going to try to extend Netsurf tonight. I will be adding 2 things to the source, one is an interactive html tag stacker, the second is a JavaScript reporter-linker (to the tag stack). This should work well. I will also do lazy loading as it's much needed.

 

The idea is that most people visit the same sites and they are worth tweaking for future visits.

 

. . .

 

William going mad in the mindspaces again. Someone cheated, deceived and squandered his chances -so he believes. It wasn't a good idea to battle the witchy Asian Liews who know no honor, and now try to hide in my space.

 

Have downloaded a toolchain for cross-compiling the browser. Not sure how it works. Am supposed to be coding now but the evil telepathy is intruding. Need a rest. Workout earlier went well. Am feeling healthier. 

I used AI to identify the entry points to the JS and HTML renderer so things will go faster, what I planned. Now I need to self-design some sort of custom interface to blur off cpu and memory sucking parts so a page may load and be usable on a low end system. Was thinking, a config file generator would be simplest. Syntax unknown.

 

I think the easiest way is to add CSS and maybe JavaScript connected to the CSS and also add classes to bloated HTML tags. Then run a general turn on-turn off with what we did also exposed in the site config file. 

 

. . . 

 

Went for a run and had yongtaufu for dinner. Feeling better. Celebs came to save me from the average westerner who'd run amok due to the pressures of these end times. 'Many shall be offended and leave the faith'. According to Pastor Aaron ATL on YouTube, offense is primarily due to feeling treated bad by God or His people. Whereas Jesus did warn us of it, and told us not to be troubled or worry. Myself have told many to 'do more stuff' with your life. Buy things you like, learn and contribute code etc. Write a song on your guitar.

 

Jesus told me, 10 years ago, start buying things you like, especially clothes. The Lord knew what we all are and how we spoil!
