Out and about...

I have to get out of the house alone today. It’s almost a week since I brisk walked. A few hours would be good for my health. Will put in 1 more hour of coding then head out before noon. Resume work after dinner, late. More later…

Change of plans. Had to help the folks with some errands. Made tuna salad on toast for dinner as Mom is tired and a bit worried about things, health etc. I did finish coding chiCN. Not very polished, but usable and simple, algorithmically. Now it’s raining and I’m messing with Solaris to pass the time before coding Drafter late tonight. Liew forces retreat for now. The balance of power is precarious.

3 of my apps, YAK Composer, chiCN and vrs have very minimalist interfaces. Drafter is the odd one out with 4+ windows. But it is also the most straightforward to code. Evil witchy Liews jerking my elbow as I work. More later…

I was up early and did the brief routine workout. Ready for that long walk from Asia Jaya to DigiMall and then to Taman Jaya. Got fresh funds in, just $100. Not sure what I want to buy… But for some reason, I opted to stay home yet again. Went on a brief run instead to keep fit. I used to have near blackouts before I went running. I also take less sweet foods as my blood sugar is a little high.

Did some usability testing on vrs and uncovered some glaringly silly, slow, and irrelevant code in the search / regex matching. Gave it an overhaul. Also overhauled chiCN’s search, which was alarmingly unpredictable and complex. Now it’s almost time for bed and Drafter is unfinished. Took my meds and showered. It will be an early day tomorrow, taking Mom to hospital and buying groceries. Playing with my new Bodhi Linux install which is cool.
