Atlantic -> Pacific

These two bicycled from one side of the USA to the other, just like this! Such a healthy duo!

Update 2024: I’m feeling fine. Getting energy back. Speech is still affected, but can at least communicate. Hoping focus on exercise and caloric restriction proves effective.

Update 2023: Doctor asks for me to take a look at the MRI. It is stable from before, not worse or better. The good thing is there is no contrast enhancement to suggest an ongoing active infection. Since steroids have not helped symptoms, think it is best to do another spinal tap (lumbar puncture) just to make sure there is no inflammatory process.

How Gamultable is pieced together.

Update May 2, 2023: This domain will be up for grabs soon, and its server files will self destruct 11/28/2024. I’m not afraid of death because I’ll be proceeding the people I most admire, relatively soon.(Think about that, Ha, Ha!) P.S.: I’m currently taking infusions to fix my brain (more ha, ha!)

this hidden file reveals how the database is accessed. written in PHP (not JavaScipt), it resides invisibly on the server.

Update May 3, 2023: Last of 3 infusions made no difference. Another MRI tomorrow, this time with contrast. MY guess is that it will show what? Envisioning Stephen Hawking.

GAMULTABLE.com is finished for now.

Next step is explaining the code to those who are interested in stack-based webdesign, i.e., HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is all native code; no external libraries or frameworks.

Update May 1st, 2023: Doctor says: The MRI has been read. There are some changes that are not very specific and they recommended an MRI with contrast to evaluate better (on Thursday). The good news is that it wasn’t a stroke and the bad is that if the infusions over the next several days don’t reduce the inflammation (caused by Covid) then it is because the cancer has reached my brain.

What to do now, to have done by then?

Tree Trunk

Don’t strut too tall!

Update April 28, 2023: The real tragedy is having had to make a decision in the first place.

Update April 28, 2024: The ultimate tragedy is having made the wrong decision through limited thinking: selfishness. Regret.

Troubled Bridge

Update April 26, 2023: still waiting for results of yesterday’s MRI. It only says:

After Visit Summary – PATIENT CONFIDENTIAL – COPY

And the doctor says: I just checked again and the MRI still has not been read. I will continue to keep an eye for it.

The Hitchhiker series by Douglas Adams follows the adventures of the last surviving man, Arthur Dent, after the demolition of the Earth by a Vogon constructor fleet to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

Arthur Dent is rescued from destruction on Earth by escaping, ironically, on a passing Vogon spacecraft with Ford Prefect, a human-like alien writer for the namesake electronic travel guide.

He explores the galaxy with Prefect and eventually encounters another human, Trillian, a beautiful woman who had also escaped Earth in the nick of time.

Other characters include the two-headed President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and a depressed and paranoid android robot, Marvin.

MOSTLY HARMLESS

Update April 22, 2023: Back to Bizarro Land, again. I had been told to exercise (not walk in dark until I dropped); more precisely: do yoga. continue

Liftoff

View of rocket launched from Vandenberg, 200 miles away – Thanks M

From our front porch this morning, we could even see the 1st stage booster separating from the 2nd stage and its return for landing on earth. The only things missed were the roaring sound of the nine thruster engines, and a 4-hour drive from Central California back home to Northern California.
