Spring has been delayed by the still freezing bite of winter in Scotland. Never have I craved the arrival of spring more.
Not a bad week in terms of progress for side projects.
Shipped a few changes to PenMuse that allows me to structure the writing prompts for each week under a collection. The long term plan here is to be able to generate a markdown file that I can use as a base for creating a printed book. I’m still a long ways off but with over 300 writing prompts in the PenMuse database, I‘ve got a good base to begin with.
Also got a first version out of the door for another side-project that’s golf related. Going to pitch this to a few clubs in the area. Just trying to make the process of registering and maintaining golf events a lot easier.
On a golf related note the course is still closed, but we’re seeing more patches of green on the braes so perhaps this week we’ll see Ethan back on the course again.
