Fiction: The Browser
Back in my room, a used 16-bit Acorn sat on my desk. I had been poking about its software, trying to harness its vectors. Tutorials and assignments lay strewn by the sides of the walls. Things I wasn’t much interested in.
One day, over lunch on campus, a friend said to me,
Have you heard of the Web?
No, is it new?
It came from a defense research project, used to be called DarpaNet.
Cool. What’s so special about this “web”?
Come and see. Tonight we’ll be downloading something: a full web browser -the first one.
I leaned against the wall of the dorm room as 20 guys and their girlfriends stared at the glowing monitor -as the bytes trickled in and an antique-green spoked wheel appeared. There was a name below the graphic, Netsc- the rest was obscured by the crowd.
Are you Asian? came a sharp and husky voice from below
Yes, but I’m more from Australia.
She smiled, and led me to her room upstairs.
Her breasts were full. They pressed and rolled against my chest as we made love sitting on her bed. Her hair spinning through my fingers like the strings of a harp, down her back, down its curved wood frame.
Have you thought of what you’ll do when you drop out?
No, to be honest. I’m a mess.
Unfazed, she pressed down on me hard and I orgasmed.
Afterwards, as everyone lay sleeping, I went down to the 386DX humming away. There was, still running, the web browser, “Netsc-“. Someone’s page on marijuana open. But a stubby arrow labelled “back” took me through “The Terrorist’s Handbook” to a search screen, and I hesitated over the flat single-line text input box, fingers poised over the keys. I typed “writing advice” and clicked ‘go’. It was 2am.
I never went home to Malaysia. I used my college money to spend summer with the short, husky-voiced blond. Then we went backpacking across America where we both found blue collar jobs. Around the time I realized we weren’t able to hold onto one another, I submitted my first manuscript to Partridge. She stood there with her suitcase packed as I read out the editor’s enthusiastic acceptance letter. Then she left.
The newfangled Pentium75 on my desk purred as I scanned through dozens of web pages. I was able to open 3 browser windows before the memory ran low and the disk groaned under its load.
What’s the best way to be a writer? I was asked at the book signing.
The Internet’s a wonderful resource, I replied as I signed my latest book, “Netsc: My Writing Advice”
But to myself I chuckled softly. More like blondes, marijuana and juvenile delinquent street smarts. That night, all those years ago, my search had turned up nothing but nothing.

May, a month of prophecy?
Prophecy: In earlyMarch[Actually May-June i.e. the French Open], earthquake, and it will be deadly. Marking the beginning of an Euro-American led “revolution” as well as a covert strike against the “antichrists” by Christian-loyal forces, using untested means or powers. They are watched over by the angel of the Jews, Michael who orchestrates everything.
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains…
Of course the mandatory disclaimer, don’t look back like Lot’s wife did.
My web browser project may come true…

My foot has swollen, I made a theory of economics…
https://medium.com/@chnkngyp/commoncoin-versus-money-crypto-0c500700d6c3 -read my theory that money should be free. Just a short 1 minuter but it could change the world.
My whole foot is a bit puffy as fluid drains off from around my ankle sprain. Maybe I’ll take a walk tomorrow and work it off. Have to read up on that -if it helps. Meanwhile, Mom has made us a tasty dinner and I’m torrenting Mac OS 9.2 to use in Qemu on my OpenBSD rig. Taking forever.
My theory above, is that money was first formed out of selfishness and pride in the sense of its rarity and mutual desire for profiting. That is why it is paraphrased as the root of all evil. What if money grew like leaves, like blades of grass, so readily available that:
…Most focus on the 'something', when they should be concerned about the 'wanting'.
Imagine taking wealth out of the picture and putting in love of one another. If John Lennon were alive today…

Some people asked me how to get to heaven…
- If you are in trouble, get a religion. If you are in trouble with YOUR religion, get yourself converted somewhat else. The reason is that we are judged by Christ, who seek Him whatever the path we take to the Alpha and Omega gifted to our blessed planet, God’s footstool.
- If you know any saved people, if you could tell, get closer to them, marry them, be their Spirit friend.
- Behave as the Lord would expect of you. Be good inside and out. Be useful to Him. Be beautiful to watch.
- Have a purpose, place your intent on Heaven. It’s like a flashlight pointed around haphazardly at the sky -don’t expect to find your way home in the dark, if you seek like that!

CHR, vaporware app?
I am seriously thinking of coding CHR this afternoon, since I finished my routine and weekend chores. I could definitely use an outliner app for my own writing. Something less obtrusive than Drafter. Unfortunately it’s hard to get started on what should be a 2 hour job. Maybe mid afternoon.
Huge amount of evil resources being used to close down gospel preachers and strongmen of the Lord, even as we are used to stem the impending alien invasion that establishes the 4th beast empire. It’s not easy being in politics and economics at such a time, or being spiritually useful to God’s purpose, saving souls. One wonders about those who steady the ark…
I resumed my coding work. Should finish by 5pm. Would like to eat takeout noodles tonight. Christian forces surge through the mindspaces blundering a lot.
Read this article on CNN, https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/03/style/first-luxury-watch-buyer-guide/index.html which talks about luxury watches and how to choose the right one as a noob. The most interesting watch I own is an anadigi Citizen diver / basic computer, about $170. I seldom wear it tho I like it, instead wearing nondescript G-Shocks all the time. 10x less money than a base luxury watch… I figure I should wear it more because it’s a regular joe’s non-auto quartz on cheap Mr DIY rubber.
Past dinner time. CHR is looking more like a usable app but still needs work. Was delayed by a trip to the new house / shoebox and a lot of talking in mindspace. Am committed to completing this trivial but useful app by late tonight. I rank it more useful to a writer than Drafter or NiP.
Unforseen difficulties slowed coding CHR. But most all basic functionality is in place, requiring some tweaking.
We may be going to Kuala Lumpur today. I’d rather stay home, get cleaned and go on a brief run. Not to mention fix up CHR’s very rough code. Will give Sis her volleyball as she’s swinging round soon. Slept like a log last night on half a Rivotril.
Looks like the KL outing will be moved to tomorrow, after the piano is tuned. Did quite a bit of coding this morning. CHR is polishing up well, bugs were squashed. Not happy yet with the 2-column algorithm. May take another hour.
