If starting a new chapter is consistently the worst part of writing, the feeling tonight is one of the best: I wrote most of a chapter today, and tomorrow is just riding the momentum and finishing it.
As I’m nearing the completion of the first draft, the reference book piles loom higher and higher. (left = today, right = when I started)pic.twitter.com/6omisfp0Xb

80% done towards the first draft. Today’s chapter was awful: writing for eight hours through a headache, ended up with what feels like plodding, incoherent mess.
But I suppose that’s good. Done is better than perfect, and so on. What’s awful to write is not always awful to read – plus, even if so, things can be made better in future revisions.

In “Internet can still be good sometimes” news, I am having an email conversation with someone who actually used this 1959 Italian computer:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/931588975868837888 …

He sent me the computer’s manual (!!!), which I’m trying to understand via Google Translate. (And already uploaded to Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/Olivetti-Elea9003-ManualeBaseDiProgrammazione …)pic.twitter.com/wdGFTgvOXN
Something really curious about the third image: what does the underlined "a" do? (See right-most column.) Is this a typographic convention, like putting an apostrophe after a vowel to mean a grave accent? (e.g. e' -> è, cosi' -> così)
It looks like hyphenation, right…? But I’m not sure why it’s this way.
It's also strangely inconsistent! Line 1 and line 2: registra_te, qua_dro, but line 4: ca-ratteri
Yeah. I mean, I can see some logic to it (if you don’t have a room for a hyphen, put it where the letter is), but it’s a weird convention.
