Family is Sick

Got sick on Friday with a High Fever, 38.6C Aug 10 and now chat's sore throat has gotten worse. It appears niko is the vector since had this bacterial infection a while. I had sorethroat friday and could not go to work incapacitated but got better after I slept at around 2pm-6pm around the time Chat brought home some Korean Stew which caused me to sweat, cool, and my fever lapsed. Prior to that I had to take a Biogesic to keep the fever down and allow me to move around. Every time I moved and got back to rest my head was throbbing with pain.

I bought GURPS Hot Spots: Constantinople 500-1200AD. I'm considering buying GCA but I'm checking if it works in my ubuntu's (laptop and desktop) and what I plan to do with it.

Niko is doing better and I have found a way so that he would like to kiss daddy's cheek. Basicaly I do weird things that make him laugh when he does that makes a feedback loop that causes him to want to see more and tries to kiss me again. It sometimes works. :P

I have some good opportunities in work these days but i got too sick and the flood did a number on them. I still have a bad and phlemmy cough. I feel like I can relapse into sore throat if I'm not careful. So I'm keeping a lot of vitamins and carefull about over-exertion and dehydration.


So I have a bunch of Projects. Right now I don't have the time to game, so I spend my time building up GM material. There has been a lot of obstacles lately; one big obstacle is my health. I get sick easily. This year I'm on my 6th episode of getting sick. Sick meaning incapacitating sickness. Yesterday it was a fever of 38.6C with a strong pulsating headache, the week before that my wife and I just recovered from measles, and couple of weeks before that gastroenteritis/aka stomach flu.

My projects are varied

Ancient Era: The First Crusade Introduction - Introduction to the First Crusade. 30+ pages at about 30k words since there is no art.
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Game Rules - Rules most relevant for the Setting. 30+ pages at about 30k words same as above.
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Adventure - Adventure written for Newbie GMs, in the style of explicit directions. 30+ pages
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Grand Scale Adventure - Adventure written with stats that allow for a campaign with Controlling Armies, Court Maneuvering and Some Strategy and Economics. 30+ pages
Map of for the First Crusade: 11C Byzantine Empire and the Levant 41 US letter sized hex map in 32km per hex scale. Usable for. 41+ pages.

I use a formatting and style similar to Libre Office's Operations Manual, because its Creative Commons.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,...

Learning my own Habits outside my bubble while in HK

I only eat 1.5 meals a day. Now I'm eating 3-4 meals per day in HK I realized I killed my hunger with latte (both tea, coffee and coffee-tea). So I'm super bloating and I realize how I was able to keep my eating stable. Now I have to cut back to the old and work out again. But this time  know what I'm trying to achieve. I need bring my glycogen to down through exercise, before my hunger cycle (2-3 hours). What I used to do is take my lattes where there would be meals and I avoided a very big hunger level. I would have a meal of sorts, maybe at night when its family time (not ideal but for social reasons). I also rationed through protein shakes. Of course the amount of lactose in my diet made me go regularly. If I were to travel again, I have to maintain this ritual through cereal bars and canned coffee, and accessibility to the toilet.  I realize I have a limited endurance because of the need to pee and how hard it is to find a toilet in HK lolz. Building a schedule ar...

Exercise Progress

I'm trying to build up my running, with the goal of being able to endure 15kph (Move-8 in gurps) for about 3 hours. The method I want to achieve is through sprinting most of the time and walking. So far I can do 3mi or 4.8 in 30 minutes. I have to more than double that. I have to ideally be able to do in 30 minutes of exercise 8km or 5mi consistently every other day. Then from there build up my core by running with a kit moviing from 5lbs to 16lbs. What I learned that it takes bone strength be able to run, so it has a strong element of strength in the task. You may have the endurance and will, but more often you will damage your own legs and ruin the pace of exercise with an extended rest. being 34 doesnt help, bones are weaker from a life behind the desk and joints are more calcified. It will take time and conditioning to build it up. Probably 2 years of faithful and devoted running. Then after the 2 years probably raise the kit weight. I'll be 38 or...
