Haiku Eight is up.

Also, I’ve started drafting Haiku Twenty-Eight, a finale. Since I am putting my haikus in git, I can do this work on a ‘branch’, which is like a separate copy of the collection that I make changes in – then when I am ready, I can ‘merge’ those changes into the main copy. So I’ve written something for Twenty-Eight, but it won’t appear online until I decide to merge it.

Git is nice like this, as it lets me do speculative changes, and keep or discard them later.

You can watch this process at the github network page, which shows each version of the collection as a blob, with a line showing what version sprang from what – gh-pages is the name of the ‘main’ copy, and lastday is my experimental branch where I work on Twenty-Eight. You can click on the blobs to see what differences there are between each version and the one before it.
