There was a huge discount on Garmins...

I guess it's time for Christmas shopping and the sales are on. From 1.4kRM down to 999RM, free shipping, off the Garmin official web store. I bit and got myself a 40mm Instinct E. I guess E is for 'economy' or 'essential'. It comes in a black and charcoal tone with lotsa features, accessed via 5 buttons. Has an always on MIP screen.

My first smartwatch. It's not a good-looking one but is useful and rugged. I don't know yet exactly how to navigate with a GPS outside of Google Maps and holding my phone while walking isn't ideal -I'd done it before. However it works, I'm stoked.

Never thought I'd own a Garmin -for so little. More when it arrives.

My coding hit a major snag. Algorithms don’t work well. Will have to redo it, just a dozen lines of code. I copped out and put in boundary chars between each stroke to make it easier to read into the program. Then I will apply a custom algorithm to the bitmaps so they match better. This will take some time and some cpu power. Last night I integrated ceDict well. So tonight’s work is actually the final step.

Been looking thru all the features on my soon to arrive Garmin Instinct E. And decided to turn off something they call WHR which consumes power and is unnecessary for me as I only do low intensity and briefly stressful exercises. I have no problems sleeping due to a clear conscience and a helpful heart in and out of mindspace. What I need are the GPS and other directional / environmental sensors, weather updates, etc.

Made some solid advances in Chinese stroke detection, without using Pillow's image compare. Instead I use a bit counter, black pixels being '1' and white or any shade of gray will be '0'. I bit count from right to left, top to bottom, and use that as matching data, after applying a coefficient for size difference. A productive day. Hope my Garmin arrives tomorrow.

Apparently there is a prophecy about to be unleashed one of these days soon. To do with aliens and God, and Mathematics. I wrote it down and will post it in the weekend. There is something afoot this week.

Talked to Christians about sex again. How the totem pole of lasciviousness was erected (bad choice of words) and everyone kowtowed to the stack of complex emotions vs. societal pressure. Sex is simple and pure. Sex non-existant is a dominating power -like a priesthood etc. Sex is so sandwiched with concerns nowadays that people sin who want it when actually it is a worship as it always had been.

Worship is not performing ablutions. At least not to us Christians. It’s not a new thing: everything we do and think of in the name of the Father is a worship. Provided it comes together -not half-assed, fake stuff, that He abhors as an insult. Worship has also been internalized, then like Alien, burst forth. We breathe through a face hugger baptism, then gestate its seed, finally we die to ourselves and a dangerous mutated teaching consumes the church one by one. This is not worship. Worship is not doing unnatural things. The gospel is not about doing unnatural things. Spirit-filled is about doing wise things others soon realize and repent when they see it. Otherwise, worship is just natural, normal, pleasant behavior.

Past 2am, still wide awake. Read to my Christian group, some of my religious / spiritual works. Told them it was all free to take and use. Was unable to complete FastCN due to teaching young minds who are suspicious of me. Liew witchy 6 losing power.
