I live near an audio shop, Stars Picker

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.

Past 9pm and I am relaxing after the afternoon walk to SP. It’s nice to be retired.

My first ‘pro’ quality recording setup. It only does 16 bits, 48kHz but sounds clear, detailed, and not noisy. I am done with cost-saving USB condensers.

n4s showing systematic progress…

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).

Almost 1:30am and I’m gonna do a bit more coding.

I bought an interface for cheap…

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.

Me and Emma finished a song, Georgia Rose, I think she calls it. My hearing isn’t very sharp. It’s a nice tune. Can’t stop playing it on my guitar. Will use it to test my recording setup.

I challenged myself and lost, almost drew…

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.

Had supper of barley bread and chili dip with cheese. Feeling a little tired. I need to get a male female XLR cable by Friday.

Still Coding…

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.

Thinking of running ads on my novel, SDU.

I know I keep mentioning it…

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.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Feeling tired, sleepy…

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.

Wish I could nap but the meds keep me up. Will miss the football tonight.

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.

Tomorrow’s KoangDeLambe will be on ‘love’ and why it is a new commandment, the greatest commandment, now we have 11 commandments. What of keeping commandments?

SeTT by ckyap

Simple abstract and fun strategy game

My very own designed game, SeTT. My first and only one, is now out of beta. Spent years on it. BTW, it’s a free download. I am not very into making money off something that should (I hope) go viral as easy as possible.

Visit Original Link

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.

Rumors of a movie of one of my stories…

I just pubbed one of my books, and whispers in the air say it just might become a movie. An indie movie, low budget maybe, because I released my book under the CC0 license.

My family thought it would come from my story, Sea of Storms, but it’s something very different. I think the two share the same name for a lead supporting character. Haha. The irony.

Reminder, Jesus said my money will come from a house, not a movie. But it would be cool to get a poster of it (maybe signed) for my room wall and tell people I meet, I wrote that story.

Maybe then, I will be someone respected here in Malaysia.

I am still working on the 2D turing machine thing. It can shift cells up or down, vertically using an incline or decline operator and that is basically how it has an advantage. Also, it can insert rows (like Excel) which is cool. Wonder how useful this is…?

[donutwares]

I may have invented that 2D Turing Machine I'd been thinking of...

The details are confidential but I have fellow researchers from my alma mater who will be publishing, apparently, and I will follow last of all.

It came out of reading CAAO by Hayes. Initial findings are that 30% speed increases are possible with addition, likewise multiplication can be performed in as little as 3 steps.

A Japanese researcher reported he'd had luck with a 3D version but that's hard to code for.

I'm guessing chips could be significantly faster and cheaper to make. Or all this a pipe dream...

I started my blog on KoangDeLambe.com

It's just at /blog.html and will be a weekend thing. I also drew a new comic for the main site. These are related to Faith and are non-biased, and inclusive.

So far so good. Exciting to own a nook of the WWW and create new content every few days. I haven't submitted it to any search engine yet as last time, my site got cloned / stolen. Just let it grow organically.

Next week, Master Koang discusses prophecy. I pray and meditate on it for hours before I storyboard it on the iPad, then days later, draw it up with a Sakura Pigma Micron 0.1 on palm waste paper.

The whole drawing process takes 10 minutes or less.

I had an idea…

Instead of juggling 10 balls, trying to generate the circuit nodes, I would pass over / iterate the diagram once, then, again, rotated until all nodes are set. This means n4s could be done by this weekend.

Patience is key to surviving the harsh times / tribulations ahead. Those who are patient waiting for the Lord, are protected.

Don’t worry, be troubled or you’ll not be able to walk on the waves with Jesus. Stay together and encourage one another.

Am wearing my Garmin E which I got on promotion, 30% off. My most practical watch. Since given up buying more unnecessary things, fund my website instead.

Can’t wait to be fully retired once my coding is done.

Will not be watching football tonight…

Work on SeTT is winding down. I also received a new idea for this weekend’s koangdelambe strip from debating with my church from NZ. They are an elitist church and have told me I don’t fit. I replied I was on my way to leaving anyway and they got upset. So we talk from time to time, casually to challenge one another.

There is an odd bug in my game that shifts the board downwards on first move. Seems to be a CSS omission. 1.3.4 is scheduled for release tomorrow, after midnight.

Koangdelambe.com is getting a steady stream of visitors, about 40+ a day on average. That’s cool. 4 days till my Arip jab at psych clinic. Grandma has an infection at almost 100 years old. She lives in an upmarket care facility.

Yesterday, phones (of Christians) were hacked. AFAIK. Not to spread lies or incite hatred. Myself, a Christian, got my phone hacked as well. And today, a little of it happened again. I don’t store anything private in my mobile so it’s okay.

Worked out this afternoon as I missed it last night when France demolished Morocco.

Witchcraft is spreading over the world, a deception. I believe it is to do with the earthy nature of Christianity, instead of the lofty ideas we predominantly seek after. Learning about one’s body and living life out in the world is important. Learning how to make friends with all sorts of (like hearted) people. Sure scripture is good too, but it dates from an age gone by when things were different.

I saw it on a YouTube video. First comes the deception, then the wars and betrayals, persecution, etc. I think it’s a true teaching. Jesus said there would descend deception upon his death, misrepresenting holy and profane things. Leading those astray to degrade their spirit, and denying others their inheritance.

[donutwares]

Made progress on my new site and app…

KoangDeLambe.com has been launched. SeTT is almost fully debugged. I am watching France-Morocco at past 3am. I am confident SeTT will make me a name. Should put in more work on its AI.

The Liew witches have given up pursuing me for the most part. There are too many breakouts from their jails of sinful Christians.

Friends forever.

It is so dangerous when you don’t have a body of good work(s) and are being badmouthed to children. I have a game, a novel, and a comic strip website. All above par. Hopefully I make it past 2026 into 2028 when the end of the age should definitely come.
