description=What? Weeknotes: An Explanation
---

weeknotes are a summary of what happened during a week/month/period-of-time.
yes, they're called weeknotes but they can be published at any frequency :)

time isn't real.

i aim to write a weeknote every fourteen days. so it's kind of like biweekly
notes <i>(if you want to use the weird biweekly where it's every two weeks
	and not twice a week which maybe makes more- nevermind)</i>

a weeknote could be about personal projects—weird software, poetry, photography—
or about stuff that happened at work: a weeknote can be whatever you want it to be.

a lot of people, myself included, like to use weeknotes to keep track of what
they're doing. to keep a record and to remember that, yes, you <i>do</i> do things
no matter how loud your brain is yelling right now.

<h2>the weird dates in my weeknotes</h2>

i like weird date formats, a lot!, so i am using the International Fixed Calendar
(IFC) to note my weeks. It's pretty easy to understand, but not too easy to convert
between IFC and the Gregorian Calendar.

The rundown is:<br />
Every month is 28 days. There is an extra month after June called Sol. The last
day of the year is extra. It's called the Year Day and it's not part of any week
but it <i>is</i> December 29th.

During leap years there is a day after June and before Sol: June 29th. It's the
Leap Day and also does not belong to a week.

\<i>(read about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar">IFC on wikipedia</a>)</i>

Since I week-a-note every two, I name the first weeknote "early" and the last two
"late". So, in rhythm, it'll be something like: Early June, Late June, Early Sol,
Late Sol, etc.

That's it for <i>What? Weeknotes.</i>. Go read'm? They're listed in <a href="../">words/</a>
