I managed to create two clues in past - both was fairly easy and one of them wasn't strictly a cryptic clue...
And it took me hours...

Oh bugger.
Now who do I give it to?

To be honest, I didn't like her: she's one of these "attention freaks" who fake asthma attacks if someone else is under the spotlight ... that's what killed her in the end, she misused Ventolin et al so badly that when she actually needed it it didn't work any more.
At least she will get a whole day where she is the Star of the Show, and that's all she really wanted ... just wish it wasn't a four hour drive each way to get there!

Herself's sister. She passed away on Sunday. Not my favourite member of the family ...

How did Herself feel about her sister?

Mixed, a bit: she didn't like her or what she did, but she loved her because she was her sister. Strange, but true.
So she's both upset and relieved, and feeling guilty about both.

Starting this past week, my Android, when using Speech-to-Text, has been inserting the period Character (".") At weird places.
Google does not know the answer to this question, nor Has he been able to lead me to any Sort of cause, reason, or fix.
If anyone can give me a clue as to what is going on, and more importantly how to fix this, Please do.
. Also, if anyone knows how to ask Google the right question to find the answer as to how to fix this, Thank you even more.
.
This message that you are currently reading, is being done on the very Android phone, which I'm describing.
. Also, sometimes he will use the question mark instead of the period.
Again, this only started this past week; past couple of days In fact.

Try turning off the autocorrect option that adds a fullpoint (period) if you type a double space.

If it does it again, just say "stop it"; that should work.

While you're at it, you might also want to look into how it decides to capitalize random words for no reason.

I have been examining Neo4j's implementation (Java engine, .NET/C# driver available). I have to control my knee-jerk "oohh ... alien" prejudice against Java technology.
The free book "Graph Databases," by Neo4j principals Robinson, et. al., published by O'Reilly, is an excellent overview of gdb's in general as well as Neo4j implementation features: download here [^].
So far all of the graph db's I've looked at implement connections (edges, links) between object (vertices, nodes) as one-way, which interests me since I am interested in modeling reciprocal relationships; the C# prototype I implemented for fun is based on two-way connections with each direction having a "strength," and dynamic interacting functions used, so ... when one direction changes strength ... the other direction's strength is modified (of course, two-way reciprocity demands preventing runaway recursion).
Neo4j defines Properties as "first class" objects, and they can be attached to either nodes, or connections: I really like that.
Here's an example, in Neo4j's query language, Cypher, that selects friends of friends of a selected person who are not immediate first-level friends of the person:
var people = new List<string[]>
{
new[] {"Jim", "Mike"}, new[] {"Jim", "Billy"}, new[] {"Anna"Neo4j, "Jim"},
new[] {"Anna", "Mike"}, new[] {"Sally", "Anna"}, new[] {"Joe", "Sally"},
new[] {"Joe", "Bob"}, new[] {"Bob", "Sally"}
}; Cypher code executed by Neo4j engine:
MATCH
(person:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(friend:Person)-[:KNOWS]-
(foaf:Person)
WHERE
person.name = "Joe"
AND NOT (person)-[:KNOWS]-(foaf)
RETURN
foaf You can see this code in a complete C# example here: [^].
Well, I find the Cypher syntax very weird, but, I never completed SQL potty-training I sat down and toyed with what I would do using Linq (which I am sure can be improved) to handle such a query, came up with this:
List<(string p1Name, string p2Name)> people = new List<(string, string)>
{
("Jim", "Mike"), ("Jim", "Billy"), ("Jim", "Jonas"), ("Anna", "Jim"),
("Anna", "Mike"), ("Sally", "Anna"), ("Joe", "Sally"),
("Joe", "Bob"), ("Bob", "Sally")
};
var friendsByPerson = people
.GroupBy(p =>
p.p1Name).ToDictionary(grp =>
grp.Key, grp =>
grp.Select(g =>
g.p2Name));
var friendsOfJoe = friendsByPerson["Joe"];
var friendsOfFriendsofJoe = friendsOfJoe
.SelectMany(name1 =>
friendsByPerson[name1].Where(name2 =>
!friendsOfJoe.Contains(name2))); If I were as smart as our local code witch, I might try to create a converter for C# <=> Cypher

Gosh that syntax is weird.
And I'm not really smart so much as stubborn and determined, but that can be our secret.

You should probably feel at home with Graph databases, since the thinking behind them are quite similar to your parsers.
Actually, it should be quite possible to create a database covering all aspects of for example regular expressions. Add a regex into the db and test a string using a query.
Note that I say possible, I don't necessarily think it's a good way to do it.

It reminds me of PROLOG; when I was still a student we modelized the relationships between all Greek gods using it.
