I’m now back in the saddle after some time off over the Christmas period.
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas holiday and is feeling refreshed for 2025!
The first part of this year’s development effort will be focused on completing the work on the calendar Mk2 system for which there have already been a number of posts.
For those that want the TLDR, the new system supports rolling calendars which means that calendars such as Pathfinder’s become a possibility. It also means that the Western Gregorian calendar can start using the same calendar technology as everything else (it currently uses Windows Operating system components).
Once the work is completed, users should be able to create any calendars that they can imagine – all from within Sojour itself.
I feel that the Mk2 system is important because Sojour is primarily built upon three cornerstones:
- Time tracking
- A sense of place (aka mapping)
- Journaling.
I have always considered the time tracking part to be the weakest subsystem of the three which is why it is being upgraded. There are also plans for the other two, especially the journal, but I don’t want to go into that just yet.
The Mk2 Calendar System is one of those tasks that I know is big and that I’m already quite far into it, but alas, I don’t really know how much farther there is to go. All I know is that there is a tangible sense that I’m over the hump.
That’s it for this short update.
Have Fun!
And I’ll talk to you all later!
