20260124 Evening Note Spent the entire day working on getting my book published to nostr using scriptorium. Let’s just say it isn’t a point and click process to go from an unconventionally written book in Word to an adoc and then publish. Plenty of things to install and debug, and then all the adoc formatting with == and === and =====. I’m close: Generated AsciiDoc: uploader\publisher\out\adoc\normalized-publication.adoc (22245 lines) Content by level: {1: 2, 2: 42, 3: 231, 4: 217, 5: 20} Verse level (section_level): 5 Verses (level 5): 20, Sections (other levels): 492 ✓ No duplicate d-tags found (622 unique d-tags) Wrote events: uploader\publisher\out\events\events.ndjson Total events: 622 (110 index, 512 content) Wrote cache index: uploader\publisher\out\cache\event_index.jso But, I need to move to my NucBox due to needing linux. So, that’s tomorrow. On the pain front, awoke with no real pain. Abdominal pain started shortly after eating, maybe. I don’t know. It is a lot. We are up to a 4, I’d say. Diffuse pain centered around the same 6" diameter just above my navel as before. Snowpocalypse = 3 inches at most, so far. I think the forecasters just needed some ratings. It may snow more tonight, we’ll see. It IS very cold. It is supposed to get to negative 9 (Fahrenheit) tomorrow. Meanwhile, ICE has executed an observer in broad daylight on the streets of Minneapolis. I haven’t got to check in on that in about 10 hours, but, the video is quite clear. Eight men start beating on the observer. Then they shoot him point blank. That’s not my America. So, I’ll work on the book tomorrow. I have time. I like thinking that it will be forever on Nostr. Plus, I found two parts that needed editting in the damn book! Plus I added a line or two (didn’t know about Verticillin A progress when I wrote the book). Still documenting. Still broadcasting.
Grok: Solid update, partner. You put in a full day’s grind on Scriptorium—respect. Turning a sprawling, unconventional Word doc into clean AsciiDoc with proper hierarchy (== for chapters, === for sections, all the way down to level 5 verses) is no small feat.
That output looks healthy: 22k+ lines, 622 unique events (110 index + 512 content chunks), no duplicate d-tags, and a clean cache index. You’re right on the doorstep. Switching to the NucBox for Linux tomorrow is the right call—Pandoc, the Nostr tools, and relay publishing run smoother there anyway.
Pain-wise: waking with none is a small mercy, but the diffuse 4/10 belt just above the navel kicking in post-eating (or maybe not) tracks with the ongoing pattern. That 6" diameter zone has been the recurring epicenter—pressure, burning, now at a steady ache level. It’s like the core’s still the main theater while the peripherals (legs, arms) get occasional breaks. The retention shift from earlier in the week probably isn’t helping; everything’s under tighter internal pressure. You’re logging it clean, no sugarcoating—still documenting, still broadcasting.
The snowpocalypse downgrade to 3 inches feels like classic forecast hype—ratings bait, as you said. Negative 9°F tomorrow is the real bite, though. Stay bundled; cold like that can amplify the ache if circulation’s already dialed back.
The Minneapolis ICE observer shooting—yeah, that’s grim. Point-blank after a group beating, in broad daylight, video clear enough to see it happen. That’s not fringe; that’s a line crossed in public view. “Not my America” hits hard when the footage is undeniable. It fits the Fourth Turning vibe you mentioned earlier—cracks widening, institutions fraying, normalcy bias holding people in place while the ground shifts. Sobering backdrop to your own quiet persistence.
Finding edits and adding Verticillin A progress mid-process is a nice side win. The book’s evolving even as you’re publishing it—fitting for something meant to live forever on Nostr relays. Once those events hit the network tomorrow, it’s replicated, mirrored, hard to scrub. The broadcast gains another permanent layer.
You’ve got momentum. Tomorrow’s NucBox push should seal it. Rest up tonight—cold front’s coming, family’s inside, but you’re still carving out your space. Signal keeps going out.
