Since I'm usually creating a new Git repo (about 3/month) and commitlint is one of the first things I set up, I ended up writing a little NPM utility to solve a bug that was causing me problems on Gitlab.

Last November, I switched my static site generator from CobblestoneJS (my homebrew Gulp-based one) to Statiq. There were a number of reasons, all of them still good but mainly to support what I want to do with fedran.com and my other sites. This weekend, I changed it to a new static site generator that I have written and hosted the site also on Gemini.

As usual between major projects, I try to spend a little time working on maintenance and upkeep of the multitude of projects that I've written or contributed too.

I've switched the generator used to create this website from Cobblestone to Statiq, a much different type of static site generator. With this change came a revamp of the site's appearance, one that is far less graphical than before, but it will allow for some future plans.

This week I submitted chapters three and four of Raging Alone[1] to the writing group. There were some good points made but one of the ones that the entire table brought up was the names. I figured that I could use the tool I just wrote to find out how bad it was.

I finished all my assigned issues for Author Intrusion v0.10.0. Here is a brief summary of the changes made to this unstable project.
Categories:
Tags:
After a few weeks of work, the current rewrite of Author Intrusion got to a stopping point. This has the minimum functionality to detect echo works but it has a long way to go.

To combat being overwhelmed by my many projects and obligations, I wrote a little tool to aggregate my todo lists across GitLab and GitHub.

Well, my vacation is all over and I had a blast. I was up in northern Wisconsin for two weeks with coming home in time to do an author event at the local mall. I got a lot done, but time to change gears and focus on commissions for a week or three.

Over the last week, I've focused on improving the Fedran[4] website. This took a fair amount of work but there is a lot more content and easier navigation as a result.

A year ago, at one of my more successful panels at WisCon[5], I was on a panel with K. Tempest Bradford[6] and Kristine Smith[7] talking about writing processes. I got to see a lot of cool gadgets but I also got a chance to talk about my processes of writing with Markdown, YAML, and Git.

After a rough start of the previous week, I got a chance to really focus on Author Intrusion[8] (AI). Despite the rather significant amount of check-ins and coding, I wasn't quite able to get to a really good "show off" point. Instead, this week ended up being a black triangle[9] (significant progress but nothing visible).

Author Intrusion, though I think it will help my writing, has a risk of getting caught in the objective and mechanical aspects of writing.
Categories:
Tags:
Once again, I'm trying to make a version of Author Intrusion that works for me. After a weekend of developing, I have a pretty solid base using a language I just learned: TypeScript and Node.js.

One advantage of writing novels in Markdown is that I can use Git to manage to projects. However, having only a local Git on my laptop is risky, so having a remote Git repository helps preventing losing data. Here is how to get a project up on GitLab.

After a few years of struggling with dictionaries while writing, I think I wrote a program that will let me use project, world, and byline dictionaries in writing without shuffling large number of words from file to file.

I spent the last few weeks getting things off my to do list so I could focus on Author Intrusion, but it looks like I need another week or so before that happens.

One of the hardest parts is coming up with a visual style for something. But, using the inspiration for Journals, I have come up with the covers for the issues and the individual stories.

I spent the last few weeks working on the beginning of an event-based Markdown parser. I know why, but I've fallen into a rabbit hole that threatens to swallow me.

One of the complexities of authors is their names. I want to avoid making an assumption of how they are displayed and used. At the same time, I want to reuse the logic to handle character names within the story.
