Handwritten Bible #1
For a long time I have wished to write out the entire Bible by hand. I'm not sure if I'll make it all the way through in this lifetime, but I'll give it a go. It's a project that can take many years to complete, especially at my slow writing speed. Unlike the daily Bible reading streams I'm doing this year, I won't commit to a regular schedule for writing the Bible, and I might do it offline at times. Unlike most people who take on this project, I won't write in existing notebooks or journals. I'll write on folded sheets that I can later bind together into handsewn volumes.

I forgot to do the unboxing of the most exciting Steam Iron ever made yesterday. So I'll do that this time... maybe. Then I'll work on more book covers. Whether that means gluing, ironing, measuring, whatever.

Trying New Measurements
Now that I know the measurements I used on the last book need to be adjusted I'll cover another book with that in mind. Yay, the $10 iron arrived, so I can use it with the fabric and backing.

Making a Custom Bible - Ep 3 - Yuckus Codicus
Turns out the SimpleXML PHP library can't insert XML nodes before or after selected elements, just at the end of a container of siblings. So I'll have to write junky code to do what I want. I'll either use a different DOM manipulator, or I'll whip up some kind of regular expression. I think either approach is possible, just depends on what I feel like doing at the time (basically neither). Bible text is from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).

Making a Custom Bible - Ep 2 - XML & Database
Not sure how long I'll last tonight. I'm tired, but don't feel ready to sleep. Let's see if my brain can still do anything intelligent. Probably not. The next task in the process of printing and binding a Bible is to insert the MySQL cross reference records into the XML between verses. Might be simple, might be quite involved.

Making a Custom Bible - Episode 1 - Database Stuff
Lately I have wanted to format a Bible to my own liking. Quite a few formatted documents are provided on the publisher's website, but none of them have cross references. Using a Bible database I modified and inserting USFX and XML code I'll attempt to add the footnotes. Affinity Publisher will likely be the software I'll use to lay out the final text.

One Book per Epoch
The same book I previously worked on a few days ago still has a bunch of stuff needing to be done. I can't even remember what all it needs. Let's just take a look and complete the next logical step or two. The sun might burn out before I finish this book, at the rate I'm going. At least I found an iron I can use.

Photo Phabrics
Before I continue making the cover for the latest book I need to choose a fabric. It has been a while since I have updated my photo catalog of my fabric collection. Once I have a gallery with all the fabrics, I need not dig through my bins to look for the best pattern. I'll still need to dig to get the one I have selected, but at least I can do the selection via photo swatches. Maybe all I will do today is take photos of fabric.

It's been Mr. Ages since I moused around with bookbinding or anything creative. Mrs. Brisby decided not to visit due to my lack of motivation. I don't even know if I'll actually do anything, but I want to start a stream since I took so long to set up my craft station. It's a mega mess because I haven't used it. Maybe all I will do is assess what the next step should be for a stack of books. Gotta start somewhere, or not at all.
