After letting it sit overnight, editing became easier, stylistic errors I didn’t think could be rectified were no problem. I didn’t add much additional description or alter the plot. Don’t think I will sub anything more over the next few months, being retired. Haven’t been coding either.

My web hosting charges are due. Hope it goes smoothly. Folks have gone to the mall for lunch and will get me a burger.

I managed to clear my gut and am flat-bellied again. I find it hard to head out before noon these days, with the evil witches creating gas in me after dinner. Perhaps I will go on a medium long walk later, at 3pm. Check out Digimall. They say the PC industry is dying, like the book industry.

Previously, I got a Shaeffer snorkel with cracked hardened o-rings so it wouldn't fill. I'm not sure whether it's worth repairing a 715 movement which runs but the winding train jammed. Might be circa $100. Not quite a do.

I spend $5 printing out my novel, SuperdereK UnderpantS instead. Holding the book in hand is a different feeling from scrolling the PDF. Consequently, I got a good medium long walk in the sun. Heals and rejuvenates, motivates.

I am working on a flash piece for subbing to FFM. I think it's a story worth telling if only for the science of it. To go faster than light. But FFM are all about structure and conventional storytelling. Will try nonetheless. No more hard work.

I'm also being audited by itch.io for some reason. Perhaps people complained about my posts. I have enemies looking to steal my goodies. I suspect they duplicated my old website and steered it off the search engines. Then my phone got hacked.

I wrote a pretty good sci-fi flash piece. Not really hard sci-fi but more of the effects of technology on people’s relationships. Decided to try my luck with this publisher. I have the draft finished and am wondering about character development, arcs and so on as I have a hundred or so words left to drop some cues unobtrusively as I can.

Already 10pm. Had Japanese pizza for dinner. Gave the niece a game for her birthday. I keep buying these for her, IDKY.

This meant I stepped out for the first time in weeks, took the train and walked up and down lotsa steps. Felt a little winded. Workout scheduled for 12am. Will let my story sit overnight and see what happens tomorrow morning.

This one is on loving your enemies. A statement I had always found odd and a bit narcissistic.

Helped Mom make dinner as the Folks were tired from a morning out. Had dimsum takeout for lunch.

Been getting used to my new low tension nylons. It is a little harder to change positions and the sound is more delicate. But it records well as it’s less harsh, IMHO.

2 weeks till my next Arip jab. Liew witchy forces still slamming with an army of sinful, afraid people. To lay down for them would be wrong, to become another sinful afraid person, proxy pushed around and causing trouble.

Being meek is actually being humble. Even humble people know, out of control evil must be purged from the mindspaces. I put on almost 1kg over the past few weeks. Not sure what it is. Maybe the ramen noodles I’ve been snacking on, causing water retention.

Shifted my audio interface from the netbook to my laptop, also the software for updating my website. The former will just run OBS-studio capture from my old Sony handycam.

Circa the move, I decided to declutter my desk / table surface. There’s now lots more space to do my drawing and it feels pleasant to work at.

I ditched Garuda Linux Plasma for Mint because Arch wasn’t letting me install the video capture software. Then the next afternoon, my guitar’s ‘A’ string snapped with a ‘bong’. More unexpected expenditure. Fortunately, I had sufficient balance in my debit account to afford Savarez.

Have just 350RM spare money to last me till third quarter of August.

Liew witchy forces continue to pound Christians. The fallen family of 6 evil telepaths who take over babies and children all over the world thru blackmail and lies. Somehow nobody dares remove / rebuke them except myself. And I am hit by friends and church instead.

Yet to figure that out.

Had KFC for lunch, bought by the Folks, plus a weird-tasting iced coffee. Yesterday we ironed out lotsa family issues and now stand united against the accusers.

Took me circa 15 minutes to walk there under threat of rain, out of the neighborhood and across a main road to the commercial center. They had what I came for, the big audio jack adapter for small commercial earphones. Works well with the Bomge interface.

Tonight will be coding more. I made pasta for the folks, for dinner.

Found out bomge is French for homeless. Call me spooky but I feel I’m offered a choice to preach gospel or write music. My CCB Bible is almost the same size and price, 66.6RM. I guess I must make the decision myself -the decision of a lifetime.

Tomorrow, I will draw yet another KoangDeLambe.com comic. This one is about trying to selfishly predict / manipulate the future instead of being gospel-following. It will be a tough one to storyboard.

Am dealing with my family, who about now are worried over their salvation, having been cheating in mindspace for so long. They were imposed on, having a history, ancestors, who were western-opposed, while I was the only one born in Australia, and so was bullied.

I am using the new simple algorithm to find input nodes, re-running it 5 times over the circuit diagram. It gathers horizontal chains, then inverts the circuit matrix to gather the vertical chains. Both are producing good results. Then to fill in the outputs of each component -this is ongoing with success. Still needs scrutiny as some inputs are outputs such as with Vp, and Q1 (transistor, 2 inputs).

Managed to do my workout and am feeling better. Hope my parcel arrives tomorrow. Can’t think of much else.

Was helping in the mindspaces where something apparently broke. I encouraged everyone to be happy, have a good meal every week with friends and family, drink some beer. Myself, have my hobbies and watch collection (non luxury).

I ordered the BMG-22M by Bomge. Just 66RM. Cut my losses trying out specialty cables that cost almost as much. Listened to the sound on YouTube and it does sound good. For the money, I get two multifunction input ports, 2 gain sliders, and 2 output volume knobs. Apparently, gain and volume are different and there’s some magic relationship you have to obey for best results.

I am learning what I never did when I recorded with USB condensers.

Feeling less tired today. Will try to code some after dinner. Feeling relaxed, no pressure. I am mostly retired and just working on my hobbies.

SeTT is sometimes unpredictable. I drew a couple of games between myself, then realized it, like chess, has openings for various pursuits. Drew and uploaded a new Christian comic to KoangDeLambe a little early. It is almost midweek.

Coding net4spice has taken a back seat to investigating micing, mixing, and audio interfaces. I did find the source of the bug and will put in some hour or so of work later. Workout at 2am.

I made adjustments to SeTT so it plays from a wider pool of semi-random moves. Now am programming n4s while waiting for the World Cup final. 5 hours to go. Could wrap up tonight.

After I finish n4s, I will be officially retired. No more writing, coding, music, etc.

Worked out and am feeling good. Missed it yesterday, tired somehow.

Jesus said I would get lotsa money from ‘a house’. I thought of it again because my grandaunt from the UK put me into her will, unexpectedly, along with one other grand niece. I am also in my grandma’s will. She can’t live much longer, maybe a year or so. And I wondered, are these my sources of cash or is it something else I do -just curious.

A house… what could the Lord mean?

Rather than take it for granted, me and my friends invented a simple air cooler, one that definitely works, out of simple, basic parts. With some luck, it could be a hit here in the tropics, make us a bundle. The ex-GF agreed to marry me, but she’s flippy, unsure of everything for many reasons such as being so far from home.

SeTT (non beta) was downloaded today, at last. Just one time, but maybe the start of many more. You can use the app in competitions, player to player or to compare how much you beat the AI by, and store or share your best games as a move list. And it’s free on,

I could be one of few Asians to have invented a game of this sort. (abstract strategy). Tho I know there are many western designers who made similar things, Shobu etc.

Many Asians have written good books. SuperdereK UnderpantS is yet another wannabe, but I don’t think any Asian ever wrote a superhero novel for free.

And KoangDeLambe.com is also unique. I don’t see any Asians making thinking man’s tracts like mine.

How this translates to success is another thing. Western made stuff is most always better.

Just finished my chores and it’s raining / stormy again. Bible meet was good. Had flatbread and bean dip for lunch while attending via my iPad.

Working out the auto netlist node finder in net4spice. It’s in Python. I rotated the circuit ‘matrix’ 90 degrees and applied Iteration. Hope it works.

Earlier was at the mall with the folks. Had chicken rice. Mom bought a dress, 50% off. Looks good. I didn’t buy anything as I am now managing my own website / domain which costs a bit. Have to save.

A very short story about food and poverty (in Asia), narrated by me. It is the 3rd of 3 vignettes I wrote. The next one is about a tourist going mad in Malayan Langkawi island -a place of spells and curses long past. Finally, a celebration of new life, love and promises above custom.
