Time to switch gears again.

Now I need to figure out how to get to book 4. All my previous plans are out the window for this series. Book 1’s first draft is done—and works. I’m planning 2. Now I need to lay some groundwork/foreshadow 4 somehow. #writing #planning

Ugh. I just have the title/idea for the 4th book in my “Coins of Destiny” series that I’m working on. …and I’m still planning book two.

Stay calm when everyone around you panics. Detach when everyone else engages. Be objective when everyone else judges. Think when everyone else reacts. Be open to change when stasis is valued. #life #success

I should learn yet another programming language. But I’m trying to learn Japanese—still—and that’s taking up a lot of cycles. I’m not sure why I’m finding it slow-going. It’s like me trying to learn how to sketch.

“You can’t force humor the same way you can’t force humans. You have to sneak up on both when they are distracted.”

I need a vacation. One without social media, writing, programming, and its ilk.

What if Swift/SwiftUI were a visual/component language instead of the arcane/obtuse syntax it has? What if it was a template-based language such as Dylan and NewtonScript? #programming #swift

The reason they’re called hyperlinks is they excite you.

It shouldn’t be called a “browser”. It should be called a “grazer” since you spend more time grazing than gathering real information.

I’ve been thinking about what stats and how I could track them in my game idea. I should post. #gamedev #scryinggame

Yes, I know I have a weird and sometimes macabre sense of humor. What’s your problem?

Anyone actually use/write a commonplace book?

“How To Remove Bubbles From Your IV Tube When You Are Dying”. I’m in a weird(er) mood today.

Couple of pages written. Time to eat something edible.

I tried to entice Oreo, one of The Gathering, into a carrier to go to the vet. It was not enticed by the food. I ended up with some puncture wounds for the effort. Ferals will be ferals. #cat

PSA Reminder: Social media posts are often read “out of thread” and with no context. Do with that as you will. Caution, however, is advised.

This morning was spent beginning to migrate The Continuity to the EON server. I didn’t get any coding done. That’s for tomorrow.

“He was a jolly old elf. One that could never be confused with the famous one. He was neither fat, nor had the red nose of a drunkard. He was also into NFTs.” #writing #throwawayline

I guess I could work around the CouchDB issue by connecting to the instance I do have running remotely, but that will introduce latency. I wonder if I could just copy the files across and see if I can start the instance. I guess I could also just fall back to SQLite. #couchdb #raspberrypi
