I’m a new artist -newly an artist…

Tonight is my last night as a programmer. I will be pursuing a career in art. Starting tomorrow, making sketches and studies. I’m quite spontaneous and am able to teach, knowing the whys of what makes good art. Sadly, I also hang up my writer’s keyboard -actually gave it to Dad. Maybe things will work out for me, maybe they won’t. We’ll have to see. More later…

Thinking of compiling my sketch studies and fully rendered paintings into a teach-art book. Something productive to do rather than drawing aimlessly. My app didn’t wrap up as planned, needing another hour of logic tweaking but it’s almost midnight and I took a Rivotril to sleep well earlier. Brushed and will turn in soon.

A new month, April, rolls in. I don’t really want to code or write stories anymore but there’s still a leeetle bit left to do. Feeling okay overall. Haven’t had breakfast. Want to catch up with my cousins via Whatsapp. Dad’s rectal bleeding continues, quite alarmingly. But he is 75 already, a ripe age to live to without much suffering. Mom is also hurt, mainly by her own carelessness, and is on strong antibiotics to help heal a wound. King Charles’ pancreatic cancer will fell him soon as well. I hesitate to say it, but don’t push people around in mindspace, close one eye, and tell a lie. It hurts everyone.

Talked in the mindspaces to important people who’ve been dirtied by the Liew witchy forces. God does want a bountiful harvest and many many elect (favorites). Don’t think of the Father’s anger, but His everlasting love. The Bible seems contradictory regarding favoritism earned versus born-with versus the total opposite -you’re a dog or a whore -a sinner destined for hell. The reality of salvation is just 2 steps we all learn early in life and throw away when we see pride, fame, wealth etc. that we can have.

These 2 steps are: you are a baby and you need your mother. And you are a sexual being, you will join with a wife and leave your mother at some stage. For example, pride interferes such that one cannot admit they are/were ever helpless and therefore are sexually predisposed to misogyny and other gender crimes. Fame or respect interferes such that we deny we have a birth mother, treating her ‘mean’ and we feel as though we are God. This leads to flesh to flesh bonding that is imperfect and gender confusion. We all know what wealth abuse leads to -the root of all evil.

Pinned down and fighting for it…

Drafter, my final app, which helps creative writers draft longer works, is undergoing final checks and a little bit of tweaking. I want it to be as perfect as possible. Regex continues to plague me and stall my statistics tweaking buttons, half done, which will be all I’ll add for now. Pressing business in the mind as babies come under attack from evil Liew witches. We circled the wagons and are defending while church attacks the fiends. I have to join in now…

More attacks from the Liew witches, on my future income and love life. It attracts the Rapture preventers like crazy. Some of us don’t get to have a life, much less make a living. I was a donor baby -a life donor towards the Tribulation coming. Sounds depressing but I’m used to it, all my life it was this way. I never graduated college nor held a job for longer than a year, surviving on handouts and allowances.

Drafter will be done very soon, and tomorrow, Sunday, I’ll go on a long walk. A very cool rain is falling as I type this after dinner post. Feeling okay. Like this Raya will be special. Rumors of an Israeli “terrorist” apprehended or identified here in Malaysia. Yea, we are moving towards a bloody fate unless we’re caught up in the air first. May 25-26, come on! More later…

Fell asleep on the floor again with my laptop nearby. Almost finished coding Drafter. Will do a bit more later.

Nearly lunch and my final app is good to go but it needs one important killer feature, a comprehensive targeted search. Better than regular MS Office search. Have already done its interface, just waiting to attach the regex. I suck at regular expressions and am procrastinating. After lunch, I will be going to DigiMall.

Not sure why nip crashed and burned where drafter now succeeds. They are quite similar. Details stand out more, I guess. Especially when usability is forefront. Not sure what I’ll be buying at DigiMall.

Had lunch at our new place with Chinese takeout food. I used an IKEA plastic fork which was surprisingly good and Mom brought out Quaker oats plates. Dad had a coffee, I had Coke. Mom didn’t really like her sugarcane in a can. Liews attacked through the Royals and my family, crushing me down so we retaliated, pushing them off smartly.

Rain and errands foiled my plan to brisk walk. My rib injury is healing which is good. I need to be fitter in May. Hopefully I can run faster tomorrow morning. Put in a good chunk of code to suppress index range errors, and to redraw the treeView. That’s most of the final work completed. Folks are out for niece’s birthday dinner. I got her a Sistema snack and drink compact packer with matching spork. Cute, bought it at Spotlight Mutiara for 28RM.

Had 2 banana peanut butter sandwiches for dinner. Later some doggie bagged sushi, probably. Notice I eat less sugar lately. Together with regular exercise, I feel quite good.

Folks bought me a KFC chicken burger on the way home. Tasty. Looks unable to meet the March deadline for Drafter’s release, tho I tried. I could put in an intensive half hour of troubleshooting but am really bleary and tired. Have to brush. Ribs feel less bruised, thankfully. Wearing my Swatch Sistem.

Coding: an end in sight…

The stonewall of prevention is eventually breached and Drafter sails through, rough and ragged as it is. I coded last night and this morning and felt good seeing results. Used Thonny IDE which sped up the debugging and testing. We’ll be going to NSK for groceries and maybe a bite soon. Wearing my humble Protrek. This afternoon, our new place gets its fiber. I will bring over my netbook and set it up there. Must remember the power adapter.

Spiritual warfare reveals the true enemy behind the witchy Liew 6, a lower echelon demon of high IQ. Something I had hoped to avoid. The witches grabbing for their satan who soaks up their misplaced love. Will think on it and maybe find some solution. More later…

Prophecy is on the agenda tonight. Looks like work will have to wait. Charles III wants to mend relations with God most high. So all of us are sucked in for a night or more. The new house is looking comfy and lovey. Can’t wait to move!

On my other blog, I made a rough list of things I want to transfer to the new house. In detail they are:

1. Cookman paisley pants, Millet hiking shorts, Uniqlo wide jeans -I rarely wear these at the moment. Also my traditional Chinese, Batik, Punjabi, and period western shirts.
2. iPad and Linux laptop (Acer Aspire) which I use for social media and light computing, graphics, python etc. My walkman and Vido buds.
3. Art materials, dip pen and ink, watercolors, artist’s marker, notepads and sketchpads.
4. Gilbert rugby ball to play my new game, Breach Rugby
5. Two or three watches to rotate between for various occasions. Maybe my Mudman solar, my Swatch Sistem, and Orient Tristar.
6. Some reference (religious / Math) books
7. Toiletries, including my Panasonic shaver, Schick Lady, and SAK trimming scissors, nail clipper, soaps, scrubs etc.
8. A water bottle. I like the Evian Nomad mineral water bottle. It will come in handy rehydrating gradually throughout the day from the fridge or my desk.

I need to rustle up some comfy shirts to go with my pants. Maybe transfer over 3 Eagle Kings and a casual karate belt in white. Noticeably absent will be my LP player, music / recording stuff, bow, and tennis racket. I will be leading a simpler, more austere life, and staying home less. I am tho pleased with my new economical a/c unit.

Drafter inches along. Some index-section issues to sort out, then a button resizer line of code. A border setter, not that much left to do. Worked out and ran early. Drank an iced Milo chocolate malt. My breakfast. Dad will be at hospital for his blood test. I hope mine, in late May, will be good after all the exercise I put in. Royal family under attack from the Liews, crowding my mindspace while taking out their frustration on me as I lay beside my bed with an internal head wound. Life isn’t fair, nobody implied it was.

Feels odd to leave so much behind as we start again in a new neighborhood. Mom has been sorting through her vases and carved animals, while Dad brought over his favorite furniture. More later…

Soon our TV will be installed with Astro over fiber. I made a lot of headway coding Drafter today. The fuzzy matching, the squashed buttons, and the chapter menu. Will further do tag grouping / splitting and tag-keyword button expansion. Want to do the border color setting as well, and maybe colspanning.

Injured my ribs yesterday, not being mindful as Joey Yap advised. Therefore only managed a light workout and run. Still feeling fit and healthier for it. Hope to recover soon. Westerners unleashing some sort of plan onto their enemies in the east, something secretive. Took a few hits. There’s a serious regex / logic bug in Drafter that needs solving, then rest for a few hours and see what these British people want.

A Casio for every occasion…

 

Tank MQ-27 on Bonetti strap

Fitness tracker GBD-200

Mudman Solar 9300

I’ve narrowed down my watch collection to suit my more humble lifestyle and neighborhood. I have a dress watch, my step counter, as I do fitness, and my out of town adventure watch. Total cost, about 1.1kRM. All are Casio. Most of the time I will be wearing the fitness tracker as it’s not too big yet tough and I will walk a lot. Nobody much notices it. For adventure / outstation trips, I need my compass watch, the Mudman, while the MQ-27 works well with formal wear, not being chunky or all kinds of angles.

It was hard stashing all my other watches for these 3. But they were the most practical, especially in an economic downturn. More later…

Felt tired the whole afternoon and was talked to by westerners and their ‘big problem’. Dragged myself up to fix dinner for the folks. We had pasta. I knew the mince pork would fry up well because it was red and white, and not leaching water. With some dry Greek seasoning I got from NSK, I made a good meal for 3. Haven’t eaten so well in days.

Tonight, I plan to get some coding done. I have a clearer idea of what I want to achieve. No multiple buffers or edit windows. It’s confusing. Buttons in the treeView will have a red / green border which are clicked first / second, that’s about all. There seems to be a text alignment bug to fix as well.

Have 50RM to spend this month. May buy Decathlon sunglasses, maybe some straps. More later…

Latest signs of the end times: Thailand approves same sex marriages. How is this a prophecy? In Biblical times, same sex unions formed because of false gods shaming men from marrying women, maybe also vice versa, but the self-same reason is: the Eden man-woman sin which the demon lords fully exploited. Today’s same sex couples are also a product of demonic coercions. I hate women, I hate men. They make me sick etc.

Fun game with foam football…

an Aerobie football

This is a loose rugby-style game for 7-ish people a side on any sizable pitch. The objectives are:

1. To keep the ball roughly behind at least 2 friendly players at all times. Tackling is not permitted but players may obstruct and gently handle one another by the elbows and shoulders.
2. The 2 or more players and a ball holder must cross the enemy back line wherever it may occur to win a point. The enemy may create multiple layers for the ball  possessors to punch through.
3. The ball may be thrown or bounced off the pitch. There is no penalty for dropped balls. First touch wins it and it may also be kicked
4. The ball used may be an Aerobie foam football or any soft aerodynamic foam ball.

More later…

Thinking about Breach Rugby (versus beach rugby), I can forsee a lot of soccer style formation and maneuvering. For example, letting players run unchecked through your formation. You have to mark them. And pushing the ball holder horizontally away from his advance line, separating the attacking formation. Forming  a saw or zig zag, forming a passing around square, the long kick or throw, there is a lot of play possible.

Thoughts on the etiquette of tackling. Players should not raise a foot above an enemy's knee, or a palm above his neck. Players must not touch a ball possessor’s grip (on the ball). Fouls must be called out, including offsides.

Early Monday morning…

I woke up early today and worked out, then ran briefly up and down our road. Had a latte for breakfast and put on my Aqualand for a change of watch. It’s on a Mr DIY rubber strap which cost me 10RM / $2 plus I got the cheapo watch head as well which still chimes the hour and at the end of the working day, from a corner of my desk. An odd-ish feeling like a headless chicken. I think the Aqualand loses 20s / year which is okay. A reset every 3 years, battery change every 6 years.

Tomorrow, psych clinic. But first to get cleaned. More later…

So Tuesday is finally here. I was up early, getting ready to head out later. Worked out and took care of my hygiene. Am busy with my new Linux install. I can’t get the DVD burner tray to eject yet. At one time it would but I forget how. Don’t know why DogBlots is getting 20 visits a day but it feels good. FreeLunch.my is desolate by comparison. Maybe one or two reads per week. Am writing a new article on Medium, and every Friday, a Substack newsletter. I seem to have an insatiable urge to invent, journal and advise (on spiritual matters). 

Set up my Linux workstation with all-black peripherals. Looks cool. Even the stack itself is dark colored. I don’t have a case so the parts heap one on top of another separated by black foam pieces. The cooler fan is silent. Installed it myself. Something to inspire me to fight on -the good fight, against Satan’s liars and oppressors, saving the deceived in sins. Must keep watch of my popularity index tho. More later…

The Arip jab went well. Lots of manipulations going on, deadly games that destroy the small and innocent. Some may think me a mental case, but look around, there are many things easy to discern as odd, in the news and in public for anyone to see who understands human nature. Will be sleeping late tonight to finish my coding on the Kabini rig in the back room. Trying to build and steer a raft in the rushing tide of these end times.

Cleaned my ThinkPad…

Somehow this pre-owned machine gets used every time I need heavy lifting. It’s an 8-year-old Broadwell dual core, Core-i5 with 8gb RAM. Picked it up from a junky looking shop for $240. The display is IPS, and it has all the bells and whistles of a premium laptop including backlit keys and hot swap battery. But it was in desperate need of a brush and wipe down after months of hard use in my dusty room which faces a trunk road.

The brush tool came cheap from Mr DIY. And I also clean my guitar fretboards with it. For gentle screen / overall wiping, I use a soft microfiber sponge-filled bunny duster. Can’t believe how dirty keyboards and trackpad button crevices can get. Some dust mites crawled out of it afterwards. At least there are no more ants. In the afternoon, I’ll sweep and mop my room, dust under the guitar bags too.

I plugged the laptop into its charger while it waits for my programming inspirations. Put aside the Logi Wave Keys and Pi4 which I used to write the first 3/4 of Drafter. More later…

Did a bit of much-needed housework which freed up the folks to cook and touch up our new place. There's nothing stopping me sitting at my desk right now, but my emotions are a little unsettled and I can't focus on my computer work well. Enjoying using my OPM (recycled ocean plastic mouse). Do I like fondling refuse normally? This could be a get-rich idea, really!

I’ve split my computers into 3 stations. My desk (ThinkPad), the back room (Kabini), and by my bed (iPad). I will be transferring Aspire to the new house and maybe the Pi4 later on, attached to the TV. The mindspaces are incredibly troubled at the moment because of wanton prideful cheating and we have to navigate carefully.
