Just hanging out and relaxing today, and probably the remainder of the week. Need to get some energy back. Otherwise, doing ok.

Heh the so-called publisher spam has begun again. This time it’s about “The SIngular Case of the Three Witches” being “chosen” as a potential for a screenplay. Lol. Unsolicited “opportunities” are merely money grabs in disguise. #writing #publishing #spam #marketing

OK. Back home. 1 kidney stone now gone. Time to relax and recover.

Good morning. Enjoy the morning.

Plan for tomorrow: — go in for “the procedure” (kidney stones) — recover — play games — eat

The world is better than you believe. It’s is worse than you would want. #life

OK. My script to automatically add books into calibre-server seems to work. #books #calibre-server #raspberrypi

Going through my books cases, I find gems. #books #hypercard #resedit

One of the downsides of living in Delaware is that we don’t have access to decent desserts or baked goods.

I spent most of the running errands and house stuff. Time to relax.

One of The Gathering, the one known as Creamsicle, just now. It was warm out, so I opened the deck door. It just sat and kept looking inside. I’m sure they are planning something unearthly. #cat

Cooked a chicken breast and some candied carrots for lunch. #food

Ok. It seems ePubs stored in iBooks are unzipped. That’s a pain. I guess I need to write a script to rezip the elements in the correct order before I can add the ePubs to Calibre-server. #ibooks #calibre

Hm. I didn’t realize this. ePub (eBooks) can include audio/video, not just text and images. Makes sense. #epub #book

March is going to be busy starting on the 1st. That’s when I go in to have one of the stones taken care of.

For all the advanced mocap in games, why can’t they figure out how to get characters to walk/run/move realistically. What’s the point of mocap? #gamedev #failure

“Die faster!” #writing

“Let dark rivers flow.” #writing #life

Cadbury eggs are pretty crappy as candies/chocolate go. Just sugar, no real flavor.

Observed: a guy at the grocery store dairy case, standing and reading each container in turn, ignoring the growling people behind him. It’s not like he hasn’t seen the same products before. #character

There are no bargains, just things you are willing to pay for. #marketing #life #failure

Are you afraid of making new friends? Is that why you stay there?

We don’t need self-driving cars. We need self-returning shopping carts. Seems a simpler problem to solve. #ai #automation #marketing

“Peace is the opposite of wanting stuff.” #life #writing

The highest point in Delaware. The cliffs of Dover.~
