Alexander 6, V66.

Feeling like chilling out today. No work on my Ayvarith, no nothing. Well, except of some sample preparation, so just to say I was not idle all the day actually.
Generally, the paperwork for the Ayvarith part of Alexander 6 is over now, i.e. I don't have to face the papers and type down words and other stuff into my documents. But, I have to refer back to them from time to time to correct some mistakes, and not only in papers, but even in the transliteration that I've made already. The document that I've just made right now, contains 12 pages of new words and additions or fixes notes for the present dictionary, but before adding that, as I said I have to correct the main thing in Alexander 6 transliteration, and also, I have to change the transliteration system in the already existing dictionary, where I'm starting to use the letter "ŧ" and "ħ" for the usual Ayvaric words, instead of borrowed words. That also means I have to flip back the words that already use such characters for other sounds, and make them use the underline instead.
Too much fuss going on and just thinking about it now makes me numb really. I want to relax now. But my relaxation is not so complete, because I have to plan for my vacation. I'm putting the pieces together and I don't want to push my luck further like last year when I was in a hurry to catch up with the trains and spent more than 20 hours without a decent nap! This time, I'm spending one day in every stop, and also hoping for more views to enjoy. Although Co. Tipperary is south a bit from Dublin and the distant is not (virtually) as far as Galway, but the trip to there seems tiresome. I've made my mind to settle in a B&B like the last year, a place called Thornbrook House. It is a place around the village of Cashel, and as the description says, it is few minutes walking away from the Cashel Rock, where one of my teachers told me and showed me some old castle there that went into ruins. My plan, if gone correctly, should be like this:

• 28/9 - To Dublin - rest.
• 29/9 - Railway to Cahir - rest. (a junction change is required as it seems and the way is not directly to Cahir).
• 30/9 - Going out by a cab or something from Cahir to Cashel where I shall stay.
• 14 days shall follow.
• 14/10 - Leave the place and head back to Cahir to stay.
• 15/10 - Get from Cahir to Dublin and stay for a night.
• 16/10 - Fly off.

Beside this plan, I must make out some essential papers for the visa and that thing is getting on my nerves a bit. Why it's not easy to get a visa in this area? Anyway, I'll manage.

My car is still in the garage after one month and one week, and one day. No news about it at all, and every time I call the sickening garage, no one answers. You think I will get it after getting backfrom vacation? I hope so...
Did you notice that the title is composed of "666" ? Yep, that's how I feel today...

1561. Alexander then asked the old man of the white beard
1562. "and how this Cadid became like this? and why he attacked me?"
1563. thus Biryári answered: Cadid lives within you wherever you go,
1564. it only leaves your body in two ways known to me,
1565. either you succeeded to conquer your cruelty,
1566. and that made him mad so he attacked you,
1567. or he can be out of you with rituals,
1568. but sooner or later he shall be back to the body
1569. Alexander then asked: and what shall I do with him now?
1570. the old man said: killing him is the solution as I see it
1571. but Alexander refused and said: no, something inside me says no
1572. and Biryári then smiled and said: it is but your kind heart that said no,
1573. and after defeating your own Cadid, thus you are free of darkness,
1574. I see you tightened him like a slave already,
1575. thus I suggest you take him as a slave for your ways
1576. and Alexander thought that it is indeed a good idea
1577. then he said to the old man: but is he safe to be with?
1578. and Biryári answered: with some time, he will be tamed,
1579. just like your own twin walking with you wherever you go,
1580. but his animal side shall remain as it is I presume,
1581. but at least he can be of no harm to you later
1582. and Alexander accepted the advice of the old man
1583. and decided to make his own Cadid a slave
1584. he might be of enormous help in this world

Alexander 6, V65.

 Woho! Writing this in a hurry before leaving this place actually. I've spent most of the time shopping outside and doing some chores or talking to one of my teachers about traveling to Ireland and he gave me a valuable advice about some locations in Co. Tipperary, the county where I plan to stay. His advice was to stay in southern region of Tipperary, and in my previous inspection I found a nice place in the northern region of the county. However, I need to settle down at home and have a mug of herbal tea, the one I got today!, and do my research. The Euro is going down so this must be a good time to do my things. All the hassle is about the visa in fact.
I spent the whole time after that working on adding words to the list prior to adding them to the dictionary, and I just finished it all! For this, I'm typing this late now. Many, many, many things on my mind now that I just can't concentrate doing one thing at one time, and with me fasting now and not wanting to put down with it (yeah, I'm stubborn), I feel my body weak and I can't skip the afternoon's nap. Even my plans for photographs are not up to the level recently.

Well, time for me to put this down and pack my stuff...

1537. the old man raised his eyes with thoughts in the mind
1538. while his fingers were tickling his long white beard
1539. then this he said to Alexander: listen O good king,
1540. I never knew about worlds other than our world,
1541. but I know one thing for sure, thus nothing is weird to me
1542. and Alexander said rapidly: and what is that O good man?
1543. Biryári said: people on these lands think they speak like each other,
1544. but I know that they are not the same in their tongues,
1545. I saw that written by the hands of the wise in this Uhir Daynur,
1546. because I could not imagine the whole Earth speak one tongue,
1547. but it is all because of one thing that they speak to each other,
1548. it is by the guardian angel whose name is Atheir,
1549. he who moves the words from one mouth to another,
1550. and makes the ears listen to what it should be
1551. Alexander now understood how people understood him
1552. and how his Caqobian tongue looked familiar to others
1553. then he asked Biryári: and what about the thing tied outside?
1554. and the old man said: Ah! I almost forgot O good young man,
1555. this is the black side inside yourself,
1556. this is your cruelty that goes into your blood,
1557. this is the beast that eats you slowly,
1558. this is what we call the Cadid!
1559. Alexander then kept silent and his thought raced
1560. about the meaning of all of these events

Alexander 6, V63.

 After a severe period of diarrhea for some hours that almost looked like a complete day, or it is in fact one day as a whole, I decided that today I must not fast. I still feel the weakness in my body though. I'm spending most of the day trying not to drink anything else but water. Hopefully, I can get back to fasting by tomorrow.
Ideas been racing through my mind on how to expand my work with photography, and thinking of getting some specialized VR head for my tripod (to catch on with panoramas) and also a macro lens, despite the fact that I'm still planning to visit Ireland but not yet settled on a specific location! All of Ireland is beautiful...

I just realized that until this moment I was so busy with many things that I've forgot to test my small tripod until this moment! The guest room in my house has been changed, and problably worthy for a trial again. Since the little tripod is so hard to control, I was thinking of some way to rotate it without having to release the screw of the head, and this is maybe feasible only by rotating the tripod itself, and to do so, I need to check that the tripod won't move left and right (or at least to minimize the shake). It is time to do some inventional work here. My idea is to have some sort of disk fixed as a base for the tripod, and probably (depending on the opening of the tripod legs) a simple CD or DVD might fit in for this purpose. I might put pictures in here for it if it worked.

The word adding process is going smoothly despite some troubles with repititve words and some grammatical mistakes that I've discovered in classifying words. The text body of the grammar section might need a complete renovation! Not good news.
Just out of fun, I'm listing here some words that will come later in the dictionary (hopefully):

Sentence: qumunwT [qamanúþ] (n.f.).

1489. Alexander then greeted the old man with a smile
1490. but the old man remained silent and scared
1491. Alexander asked him then: something wrong?
1492. the old man gathered his strength and this he said
1493. "who are you O young man?! Never saw your likes before,
1494. and in my whole life I never saw someone catching a Cadid!
1495. and not any Cadid, but his own Cadid!"
1496. thus Alexander replied: but O old man, I am a stranger,
1497. not from this land only, but from this world as well,
1498. would you please tell me, are you Biryári the woodsman?
1499. the old man raised his eyebrows and replied: yes, I am!
1500. I guess there is a long story behind you to tell O young man!
1501. come in into my humble home please, but keep this out!
1502. Alexander then asked in a hurry: that just reminds me!
1503. what is the Cadid you are talking about?!
1504. and how this thing has my own face on him?!
1505. and the old man smiled back at Alexander
1506. and he knew that Alexander was a complete stranger
1507. thus he calmed Alexander down and invited him
1508. to get into his home, but after tying the beast
1509. and the two agreed to tell the stories of each other
1510. after the food is served and Alexander is treated as a guest
1511. thus the two got inside the humble small house
1512. and the old man called upon his wife to cook

Alexander 6, V59.

A Monday. Full stop.
I decided to take my camera set today to re-shoot the lab in another way today. This time, I decided to make it only two rows. The two rows go around in increments of 30 degrees. For the top row, the camera is elevated at 30 degrees (with 0 degrees on the top of the vertical line dividing the dial), while the lower row is on -30 degrees. The are in the middle which was taken solely in the previous time will be shared in between the rows, the bottom of the upper row, and the top of the lower row. I was thinking, maybe too much details is not so good for the computer to overlap images and assign control points, or in other words, the software gets confused for the number of details and hence things go nasty afterwards. I shall give this a try instead of the previous trial that drove me nuts. In my haste, I've forgot to take a zenith snap, but I think I will try to take the zenith from the previous trial. It might work.
I was almost going into a disaster when the battery was exhausted and needed to be changed while working on the top row of images. Hence, after finishing, I've changed, as careful as it can be, the batteries. I've found out that the other batteries were exhausted as well! I've forgot to recharge them the last time! Here comes my Monday. I've already started with a disaster when I came to work and forgot all the keys in the other car, but Gracefully, the keeper was around to open the doors for me. My life is going into a real mess and I just can't hold the brakes.

Still studying my options for my vacation right now and I'm afraid that I'm running out of time for the time being! The visa procedures would need at least one month to be processed (if done with no mistakes). I have to prepare everything and reserve everything, then get the tickets, and then prepare for the visa. A long procedure that I do ask myself if I really am into all of this. One second I'm up to it, the other I'm just down and not willing to do anything.

 As for today, I've started with enlisting the words in the usual format that I usually use for the dictionary, preparing them to be added later on to the HTML dictionary. The process in the beginning was not as easy as I thought, specially with some technical awkward moments with the software. I'm using the OpenOffice Writer now, and forgetting about all the fuss in the Microsoft Word. It's free! It needs some work on some aspects, but never the less, you would give up some options for a free complete set of softwares that run parallel to the Microsoft stuff, like Word or Excel or even PowerPoint. However, I'm preparing myself for more difficulties soon, as there might be some words that are duplicated (i.e. one English word with same meaning having 2 Ayvarith words). Such things happen all the time. Just for fun, I post here the words enlisted in the first page of the new words of the dictionary (who knows, I might add more later on here...) - Remember, words between the square brackets [...] are the pronunciation. The exact Ayvarith text won't appear if you don't have the Ayvarith font installed.

1393. something held the neck of Alexander tightly from his back
1394. the press was so tight on the hero's neck and he could not breath
1395. while Alexander held the thing and tried to resist
1396. the shouts of Alexander filled the forest with echo
1397. while the black thing shouted in same manner
1398. and the saliva of the shadow dropped on Alexander
1399. Alexander tried hard to turn his face and look at that thing
1400. but the force on his neck was so fierce and did not move
1401. and Alexander bent his body up and stretched his legs
1402. then used his legs against the face of the shadow
1403. the shadow fell down screaming out loud
1404. and covered his eye with his own hands
1405. but Alexander could not see a thing of his shape
1406. because it was dark but only with the moons' lights
1407. the shadow got up to run away from Alexander
1408. but in a fast move the hero captured his legs
1409. and with a rope he had in his sack he tightened him
1410. and to a tree he had him tightened and unable to move
1411. thus Alexander relaxed and closed his eyes calmly
1412. and decided to check the identity of this shadow later
1413. while the shadow was moaning from the pain
1414. and had no power to move at all after this kick
1415. because it was directly into his eyes
1416. and he might not see again from now on
