Called my dads for the holiday. Two no answers and an hour long conversation about Bluetooth, krita, and guys nursery of having to deal with 70 F weather in a huge lake (he isn't miserable at all).

Spouse and eldest are getting me steak for dinner. So that will be awesome.

Well, I think I can officially say Flight of the Scions is now beta thanks to support from my #patreon subscribers.

Next up is getting the second round editor since it is obvious I won't have it done for #SPFBO but I still have a chance to get it done by August.

Well, got a decent amount of integrating edits done on Flight. Mostly going through all the Word document accepting/rewriting, then convert it to Markdown via Pandoc, and then a bit of Perl magic to break it into something I can Beyond Compare against the actual chapters.

I just got first round edits of Flight of the Scions. That means I have a chance of getting this done for #SPFBO which is awesome since I couldn't participate that last two times.

This is one of those black triangles. This shows a basic file listing before any plugins, then installing a standard structure tagger via NuGet, and running the same command that produces a different code.

Eventually, this will let the plugins have a default scope of "content" which will let the grammar checker, analysis, character references, only operate in the important sections of the project and not character notes. 😜

Right now, Author Intrusion is sadly just a collection of black triangles (technical milestones but nothing fancy to look at).

I have a weird workflow though. I'm using Rider/VS Code to do the coding on my Linux machine, getting it working, then pushing up to my WIndows machine to do code cleanup using ReSharper and documentation using GhostDoc. Sadly, those two functions are non-Linux AFAIK.

Kanéko's curiosity and skin color get her in trouble when she spies a steam-powered vehicle in front of the inn.

Have to call it a day with Author Intrusion. I got the Gulp-inspired project loading and a simplified solution-like file list but I need to get the NuGet-based package loading that works like NPM (packages installed in the novel directory instead of the application).

Like NPM, a specific novel can have a specific version of a plugin and produce consistent results even if my tools/libraries evolve years later. I got burned by not having this with my old publication frameworks.

Bah, why didn't anyone tell me that @kevinbeynon was on Mastodon? Okay, I know why. You aren't my babysitter. :P

Check out Libreture, it's a DRM-free (yay) ebook hosting that looks really promising.

The fun part is getting Autofac/DI working with unit tests is a challenge. I think I figured out a workable pattern.

Right now, I'm starting with gulp-inspired management where it finds the project (.aipy) anywhere underneath the root director or where you provide the path. That way, you can call the command inside the project.

I'm writing AI to be like a programming cool, with a decent CLI and additional tools.

Today, I get a good start with Author Intrusion. Mostly it was gutting the previous version and rebuilding it properly. In the old version, I cut corners to get to the "good stuff" but ended up having the system choke on performance.

This time, I'm writing it slower with TDD in mind, mostly making sure each part is fairly solid before moving to the next.

It isn't as fun but I have higher hopes I can actually finish this time. :)

I should have CWd that. Sorry.

I've always said that I'm writing AI for "programmers who are writers" so having a more complex query should be okay. If it saves me 30-50 hours not building up a CSS parse tree, then probably worth it. :)
