I got an Android phone because J had been ported to it. Since I started to use it I hardly use anything else.
I am constantly discovering new things to do. I am way behind on reading newspapers and recently got a holiday special crossword puzzle. I have seen it earlier years but have not spent much time on it because it is too elaborate. A few days ago I decided to give it ago and see if I could use my phone and J to assist me. Sure enough it worked. When I use J in J console it is easy to copy stuff between file and console and switch between them. I created the numbers to find the letters for the poems from the crosswords and also the names of professions. Then I could easily work on the crossword in bed and using the J console file efitor. Here is the result: 12345678910111213141516171819 jólahelgi h u g á m a n n a h 202122232425262728293031323334 e i m s u m b ó l i n j ö r ð 353637383940414243444546474849 u á f i n n a m a r g i r f r 505152535455565758596061626364 i ð i n n s a n n a f á t æ k 656667686970717273747576 i r s e m r í k i r þ á 777879808182838485868788899091 s u m i r s p e n n a b r o s 9293949596979899100101102103 t i n n b o g a n n b a 104105106107108109110111112113 u n a v o n u m s í 114115116117118119120121122123 n u m ú t ó r a u n 124125126127128129130131132133 h æ f a r ó s k i r 134135136137138139140141142143 l o g a n n i n n s 144145146147148149150151152153 t í h j a r t a g e 154155156157158159160161 r a a ð h n ú t 162163164165166167168169170171 þ e g a r n ó l i n 172173174175176177178179180181 ú t i o g i n n i é 182183184185186187188189190191 r u l i ð i n h j á 192193194195196197198199200201 á n í v o n u é g a 202203204205206207208209210211 ð f l e s t i r f i 212213214215216217218219220221 n n i f ö g n u ð h 222223224225226227228229230231 j a r t a s í n u í 232233234235236237238239240241 e n d u r m i n n i 242243244245246247248249250251 n g u r þ e s s a á 252253254255256257258259260261 r s s e r s e n n l 262263264265266267268269270271 í ð u r e r u g ó ð 272273274275276277278279280281 u r u n d i r b ú n 282283284285286287288289290291 i n g u r f y r i r 292293294295296297298 n æ s t a á r bakari bátasmiður bílstjóri bóndi bréfberi dýralæknir gröfumaður hestamaður hornleikari hótelstjóri húsmóðir hvíslari hönnuður iðjuþjálfi kokkur kúasmali ljósmóðir læknir málari múrari prófvörður sálfræðingur símamær símvirki sjómaður skáld sorphirðir ----------------- jólahelgi hug á manna heims um bólin jörðu á finna margir friðinn sanna fátækir sem ríkir þá sumir spenna brostinn bogann bauna vonum sínum út óraunhæfar óskir logann innst í hjarta gera að hnút þegar nólin úti og inni éru liðin hjá á ní vonu ég að flestir finni fögnuð hjarta sínu í endurminningur þessa árs ser senn líður eru góður undirbúningur fyrir næsta ár -------------- I see the e-mail editor fucks up the multi blanks between letters but it should give an idea how it works.
