4:15:23 gingerale Good morning.

4:16:17 gingerale Not sure what's going on but slept really badly. My left arm was feeling really numb at night, chest felt uncomfortable, and when I finally slept and woke up I was covered in sweat.

6:52:40 shinmera I woke up. A tragedy

6:53:12 shinmera gingerale: sounds like circulation issues all around

6:53:19 shinmera when's that doc appointment?

6:53:38 gingerale Yeah, it really does feel like circulation issues. I've still an hour and half until the call appointment.

6:53:44 shinmera ok

6:53:46 gingerale Checked my blood pressure and it's higher than before again.

6:54:20 shinmera jeez

6:54:22 gingerale I thought that taking a walk would help this, not make it worse.

7:11:01 shinmera I should go to the office

7:11:04 shinmera but I'm stuck in bed

8:22:09 gingerale Ah heck

8:22:26 gingerale I seem to have accidentally made an in-person appointment. Not a phone one

8:22:30 gingerale I hope I can change it. Calling them

8:22:58 gingerale They've just put me on hold..

8:24:22 gingerale Aaaand it tells me that there's too much traffic to let me through anytime soon

8:24:32 gingerale Gosh hecking dangit

8:25:49 shinmera :(

8:30:02 gingerale Trying the online chat thing but I'm on hold on that as well

8:38:39 gingerale Okay, the chat managed to connect and they contacted my psych and she'll call me in ten minutes.

8:39:28 shinmera phew

9:00:32 isoraqathedh Good evening.

9:00:46 isoraqathedh My stomach feels weird all day. Solid waste comes out very cloudy.

9:02:00 gingerale Alright, I'm supposed to go get an EKG so heading out for that

9:02:18 isoraqathedh gingerale: What are you looking for?

9:02:37 gingerale If there's anything wrong, I guess

9:03:46 isoraqathedh Oh okay.

9:45:55 shinmera ugh, my mood swings are here already

12:18:59 isoraqathedh Today in "oh that works out":

12:20:33 isoraqathedh I need to accomodate different moving styles for pieces, so I thought, "well, instead of looking for just-pressed keyboard events and then directly moving the piece, I can have a system wait for keyboard events and then convert them into my own events, and then use that instead." And then it would be easier to rewrite the systems to handle rebindable keys as well, so that works out.

12:28:04 shinmera sure

12:36:41 isoraqathedh It's so annoying.

12:37:30 isoraqathedh Most pieces only have one place they can move to, but there are exceptions: the FIDE Pawn moves exactly like in FIDE Chess, and the Feeble Queen and the Feeble Chancellor can choose between two.

12:38:08 isoraqathedh So my first thought is "okay, SPC moves the piece", and that works for the R, N, A and K, but now I /have/ to implement the Q and the P.

12:38:24 isoraqathedh (The bishop is replaced with the Feeble Alfil)

12:38:42 isoraqathedh I'm thinking about how to deal with those two troublesome pieces.

12:39:26 isoraqathedh The four possible moves of the pawn can easily be I J K L (W A S D) (imagine the pawn on , (X)) but the Queen...

12:40:11 isoraqathedh ...of course, there's also the possibility of mouse controls.

12:41:15 isoraqathedh ... the Queen, I'm thinking that if the two destinations are on the same rank, then use J L, otherwise if they are in the same file use I K. These are the only two possible ways the two choices can be laid out.

12:41:35 isoraqathedh But that's stupid on the Chancellor, which can move like an R(Feeble) and an N(Feeble).
