(Ok, So not a Peter F. Hamilton novel – but it could have been, if he’d been a developer…) Since the last post, I’ve been slaving away ‘refactoring’ – yes, that developer exercise of making huge sweeping changes to the… Read More »
Ok, you’re not going to like this – but for all good reasons 🙂 This past week or more I’ve ploughed headlong into my ‘niggles’ list. What is this list you ask? Well, basically bugs that I’m too lazy(don’t have… Read More »

… yes indeedy. Apologies to anyone champing for dev updates – but right now I’m committed to finaling the book ready to get it into the epub phase. I’ve chopped it up, all my annotations have been remedied, and the… Read More »
