It was busy at work today. I resolved several problems, and was able to complete a bunch of API updates and make a start at a Python + Tk interface to Para. This is intended mostly as a test ground for a more native set of front ends for it, though it'll likely be a bit before I can start the actual desired ones.

Kids have an activity at church tonight, and I have a breakfast meeting tomorrow. That'll wrap up for today.

I'm continuing work on the para-branch application, making more changes that should help improve stability and factor better between the front end and backend. (As before, I'm using CC to help here, since my RSI issues would otherwise mean delaying this. I'd rather save my actual typing time for my personal programming efforts rather than the business ones).

Evening was picking up groceries, more insulin, and paying a few bills. Then an attempt to sleep.

Work was stressful today, but I did get in a little time on my solo cairn game, and then went back to dealing with many, many headaches.

Only programming today was work on para-branch, adding per-IP configurable timeouts to help make things easier at the slower LV store.

At work, I'm doing some database work on our in-house order mgmt system. This will reduce the number of queries needed to build most output significantly, which I think will help with perform- ance. I also added a thin caching module. Then I worked on two new reporting tools for some parts of the data.

For konilo, I added `when` and `unless` as aliases for `if` and `-if`. These give a little different feel when reading, which I like.

I am having severe pain in my left hand today. This will impact what I can get done this evening. Probably not going to do much programming tonight.

Not feeling well, and my blood glucose reflects this.

I was able to do some reading today, which was nice. I'm about 85% done with the Powder Mage trilogy, so I'll have to decide on something new to start soon.

In the afternoon I worked on the notes on my Supernote, then had dinner before taking a few minutes to write this post. I will now resume reading until I decide to shut down for the night.

More to come tomorrow. Hopefully a more productive day, but I am feeling a bit unwell, so it's hard to be certain at this point. If I don't feel better, I'll prioritize resting when I can until this passes.

I'm working on the update to Konilo's startup blocks. The change will have them load the stdlib, applications, and such only if EXTENDED is not defined already. And I add one (std) block that defines this. So you can build a fresh image, then load once and do a `rom:save`. Afterwards you'll have fast startups, and if you prefer the old behavior, just don't do the `rom:save`.

I'm going to rebuild the manual from the ground up, to reflect changes made, and try to get it to a more useful state. I'll start on that tomorrow I think.

No programming today, other than writing a bit with sitelen ilo.

I did backup my WISP blocks and set up for this year.

Tomorrow I'm nominally off work. (In that I need to open/close the store, but am not actively working.). I'll probably try to do a bit of development on a few of my personal projects, and maybe get the paperwork for a passport renewal filled out.
