Weekend is here…

Just back from a run along our guarded road. Had an iced Milo shake. They had a special on those for Raya (Id) at Lotus’s. Feels so good to… be a good person. A productive skilled worker. A spiritual leader.

Now YAK and VRS are under my belt. Soon Drafter will follow. Will try to complete it today and beta test it, Sunday. My head is swimming with others’ thoughts and some mild emotions so it’s hard to work well. Will skip lunch as I am a bit overweight. Imagine, took me over 2 years for my apps to mature into usable form. More later…

Late last night, good witches suggested I finish the Chinese spelling app that I started 2 years ago. Spent hours editing a table of radicals, finally falling asleep at 3am. This morning, I've resumed coding the new chi which I named "Chikn". It will be very simple with no bells and whistles, and I hope to code it in an hour or so. Later, it may interface to CEdict.

Mid-morning, I broke away for a run. Felt good to stretch my legs seeing as how I stay home more lately to avoid too much spending. Telepathic arguing is less this morning as well. Someone liked one of my posts on Medium. DogBlots is still getting many visits lately, less so my site, FreeLunch.my.

Sunday draws to a close and I am rushing to finish coding chiCN (small name change) now that the basics are in place and the UI fully mapped out. Still wearing my Q&Q moonphase. My favorite complication.

Monday, and the bugs in chiCn’s code remain glaring. Western forces attacked after we put down the Liew witches. It’s amazing not to get a thank-you instead. Ran instead of heading out. Folks are busy equipping their new house. Drank a latte for brunch.

Just solved all the bugs in the spelling box with completion suggestions. It’s important that it’s user friendly. Now my menus of  Chinese characters are way too long. I need a solution to split them up and a new file or somewhere to store the matches. Looks to be another hour or so of work if it doesn’t drag on till dinner. Definitely will be too burnt out to tackle Drafter until maybe 10pm.

Past lunchtime and chiCN is looking good. Thought of a neat way to associate spellings with the cascading menu entries, utilizing a split symbol “,“ in the text entry field. Will take a bit of coding. Do it after some well-deserved rest.

Had dinner. Tofu in mince sauce, and microwaved broccoli. Mom cooked despite being tired. I haven’t looed today for some reason. My Chinese speller app is almost wrapped up. May stay up late again and do something different to wind down. Still feeling a bit burnt out from all the logical thinking necessary for coding. Maybe I will try a different OS for my netbook. But first, to lay down some code.
