One house for the work

I finally put the studio, the books, and the programs under one roof on this machine.

Studio, books, and programs. One house.

19 May 2026 I stopped letting the work live in a scatter of drives. Novelmate Studio, the ebook library, the Phyllux Tech programs, the JSON knowledge base, and the scripts landed in one workspace. First commit that day. The mess had a door.

That sounds like housekeeping. It was the day the literary house and the shop could share a desk. Everything I ship now still comes out of that house.
