My Tribulation Gear

19/August/2026 I like watches. In addition to a 100mAh battery ruggedized phone (circa $130), I will also be wearing a rugged MudMan Solar and Decathlon wet-dry hiking sandals. Also a pair of Oakleys to protect my eyes. I have a medium-sized sling pack which also contains a small 8x monoscope and an overnight toiletries packing cube, Grubber Space Blanket and a thin poncho -being wet through is not fun. It happened to me before.

I chose the MudMan because it will never need a wind or a battery replacement. It also comes with compass and temperature, and moonphase. The trouble with the watch was its strap, which made it look too large and bulky. I replaced it with a NATO in a lighter shade of gray, now it looks more organic and feels comfortable on wrist. The juxtaposition of coarse fabric and smooth resin draws the eye to suspect a human design / manufacture -not one purely by machines. It also shrinks the watch (magically) down to a nicer size. Women may look down on my plastic timepiece, but it's not just any CBP, but a built-tough tool watch.

As for the coding, I downloaded the toolchain for Netsurf. I don't know how to use it, where the sources are yet. Hopefully I will cross compile something tonight. I lost a bit of weight -a few hundred grams. Tidied up some loose wires around my PCs. Am seriously wondering about a Mac Mini Neo which would fill the gap left by the memory price hikes. $300+ seems like a good price. Another week till I get my $100 cash in.

Managed to get cleaned well. Washed up but am still procrastinating on the coding. Soon it will be 4pm and nothing got done. I need to get all the API hooks from the render module, and the JavaScript module into my manipulator module. Meanwhile I transfered the turntable to my room. It is just a $200 plastic affair and I only have 2 dozen records. The auto arm stow function is damaged so has to be watched in case the needle drops off the platter. Things are falling apart here and there in our home.

Searching 18th's ABY, 2e (in the Analects of Elder Brother Yeap), August could see misfortune (bad luck). I should not try anything risky. But on 3e, 19th I could partake in giving and receiving gifts, having abundance and fame. My good luck may come from AI watermarking innovations. This is a chain from where I dropped off 'iS' with BFBW 4-5 days ago. It led to the 17th, 18th then to the 19th of the month. The clue here is 'discount while once being expensive'. This means somone bought iS who loved it / shared it, which is cool.

Turns out that we did achieve a good fortune this 19th August 2026. We talked about the human condition and all agreed we better brush up on our mental health / spiritual skills. For now, there seems to be peace.

After noon, had lunch and was able to get cleaned well. Should head out by 3pm. Want to wear my new shorts. Will have to take in the laundry before leaving. Folks are at the old place. I cleared my bed of books and stood them on my desk. Circa 8pm, went on a brief run in my carbon plate shoes. Was hard making it home, barely could work those legs uphill tho there was energy return from the shoes. Helped prepare beans and chicken for dinner. Submitted SDU to Amazon KDP with a nicely designed cover. It looks attractive, 3D.

Cooling down in airconditioning, the witchy Liews cutting at my tender parts as my health improves. If I can just hold out another 2 years, Jesus would come save me. The situation is just so hopeless when even one person, one small group of adepts behaves treacherously in the mindspaces. Now the whole UK is acting up for reasons I can't understand. Seems they derived no benefit from the past few nights of talking about the 'status quo' versus what God left us with after the fall of man. It has never changed since the time of Cain and Abel.

I also redesigned the cover of my I-Ching / ABY reference book. It's much nicer now. Now past 1am. Need to work out at 2am. Also want to redesign the cover for My Short Stories vol.2 (mss2). Almost 5am and I'm wide awake. Designed 3 book covers tonight. All interesting. Worked out as well.

Feel like going out on a long walk at 3pm as I managed to get cleaned well, showered and changed into fresh clothes. Will drink an iced tea then come home. Not much spare cash to spend until next week. Went on a run round the block instead and am feeling good. Western forces still trying to destroy my body but we have countermeasures even mild ones. Beginning to see people go bad just as Jesus said would happen near his coming. Trying to be more gentle.

Had dinner, takeout yongtaufu, and am all ready to begin coding. Just like back in college, the good old times. The ex-GF and I are thinking of making a hotsauce to sell. Having tasted lotsa sauces, including the inedible bird's eye pepper one, I am able to think of some ingredients that may be good,

Feeling sleepy at 3am after a brief workout. Must turn in soon. Lotsa writing advice makes me want to do a comeback novel but God needs me to teach in the mindspaces. We talked about William and Harry and the crisis involving the Royals in UK. We helped Kate feel better following her cancer recovery. Meanwhile we set our faces against LiLian, the false prophet and erratic leader.

Was up earlyish this Friday morning. Drew my KoangDeLambe comic strip. Not much else. Am being picked on by the Liew witches who are jealous they don't have good works to do. I gained about 1kg since a week or two ago. Have to diet so am having just one sandwich for lunch and plain iced water. Want to do some coding, maybe on n4s. Feeling less lethargic.

Going on a run in half an hour after a light dinner. I had cabbage and a Mandarin orange. I eat fruit sparingly these days. Pulled myself together and coded for an hour. The results look more like it but are still here and there, wrong. Taking a break. LiLian and co. being better behaved, living around my mindspace under less strict rules. Tomorrow, house cleaning day. Will sleep circa 3am tonight as usual.
