As I write this I have, as far as I know, zero followers. This isn't a complaint because I'm at fault for this. I don't update nearly enough, I don't post enough, and I don't promote my blog at all. Part of this is down to my apparent inability to come up with things to blog about and partly down to work and college where I'm studying a diploma in graphic design.
I'm not one for New Year's resolutions and so I am not going to make one, but I do want to turn this into a proper blog with more regular updates. I have a part time job and just two units remaining on my course and so I should be able to not only post more often, but also do some promoting, right?
We shall see.
To get the ball rolling, I have completed my transcript of the GNT of Codex Alexandrinus (available on the Downloads page). I have also been transcribing the Septuagint/LXX of Alexandrinus and so far have completed Hosea, Obadiah, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai - the link for that is also on the Downloads page, the link is above the 02 GNT entry.
The next update for the Minor Prophets will be Amos, but that has 146 verses and I've reached verse 9 of chapter 1, so it will be a few weeks until that is done.
Another project I need to complete is the LXX journal files. In my last update I had completed Swete's version of the Minor Prophets (a coincidence) and I've done nothing since. My aim is to finish these, at least one a week, and get them up as well. Once I have the Affinity app installed on my new Linux machine that will start to happen as well. So depending on the size of the book, I hope to have a new volume or part volume up per week (God willing).
I would also like to start blogging through Alexandrinus and its features with my thoughts on what I've found. I would also like to make a Logos Personal Bible and maybe learn how to make them for some other software such as Accordance, Sword, and theWord, but that's for another day.
Finally I'm working to update the Alexandrinus font to Gentium 7.000, but that's low on my to-do list and will happen when I get to it. The journals are by far the more important thing and once they are done, I will focus on other things. I've made a start, but only the Bold font has had any work done and that's only to add Hebrew and Coptic.
So, God willing, I will be back in a week with a new journal document and possibly a post on the Gospel of Matthew of Alexandrinus.
