@LynnLamb @vanessaravel Emacs mainly runs on Linux. It's a glorified text editor. I have a long and probably tedious list of reasons why I write in text files. 😁

@ajroach42 @kelbot A Johnny Appleseed adhoc network would be awesome.

@vanessaravel @LynnLamb I've encountered the same thing. Scrivner was not for me but many in my writing group love it.

Word also isn't for me either. I write in Atom with a backup of Notepad++ or Emacs.

I happen to have a pretty good set of tools to turn that into something pretty.

I think my danger is if I stop before I have something concrete to use while writing a novel, I'll lose track and feel like I have to start over.

Though, I don't know if I have time to integrate it with Atom which would be ideal.

The rest of the house was sleeping, so I got two hours of coding on Author Intrusion. Took a bit for the infrastructure, but I got Markdown paragraph splitting implemented.

The xpath worked out fairly smoothly, which helped a lot. Once I get token splitting, an easy task, I did be on track for getting echo word detection by end of week.

Then I'll get timing on my 600k word serial to find performance issues and call the results milestone one.

I love this chapter because of the cat woman. Also because she is the only healer I have planned on writing for at least ten books.

My view on magical healing came from a book on rpg design with a good essay about how healing and Mana potions are crutches to keep players going but in novels, the downtime is just as important as the action scenes, that last bit comes Dwight V Swain's book.

Surprised by Falkin's offer of a better room, Kanéko gets a chance to enjoy a hot bath. Then she is surprised by another dalpre, a cat woman named Virsian.

Writing via TDD is occasionally slow, but it also feels like I'm trying to write a solid base for the rest of the code. Since I've failed so often to write #AuthorIntrusion, this approach "feels" better to me.

Now, I don't do BDD, I do a lot of TDD testing on SRPd internals.

The plugins will have also a "select", so looking at the first word of every paragraph in a file would be:

scope: content
select: //para/word[position()=1]

To look at previous chapters, you would just change scope from "content" to "project".

I'm still planning on making the XSLT functions DI, so I can later write a function like `soundex()` that would let me compare like-sounding words that are too close to each other.

select: //para/soundex(word)

Well, end of a lunch hour of coding. I the basic scope operations working via TDD. This lets me say "only do this analysis on content" or "look at only the first word of each paragraph". It uses either a keyword (content, lookup, project) or XPath.

To the first word would be `/file[is-content()/para/word[position()=1]`. You wouldn't actually use that, but you could analyze each paragraph separately (`/file[is-content()/para`).

Oh, last night I tried out #lutris. Fairly nice, took me a bit to figure out which checkbox to use, but it installed and played smoothly on my laptop.

I should consider finally getting an emulator and see if the boys can handle easier games like Mario or Zelda with a controller.

My youngest (4) has tendency to walk into a wall, giggling, and yelling "no thank you" when I offer to help.

#Blender is my favorite 3D modeling tool, but sadly I haven't developed a talent for doing anything with it.

I have had fun making vampire squids for an aborted game with it though.

Right now, my tool set is: Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, Atom, and Blender.

I just saw the Blender post about YouTube pulling links (https://www.blender.org/media-exposure/youtube-blocks-blender-videos-worldwide/).

They must have hit the magical point where they are so divorced from the community that they only see numbers.

I don't like companies that fuck over open source communities though. I'm glad they are trying #peertube.

Imagine that, companies are not our friends.
