Heh, some of us would start early if we could!
Of course, I'd probably be burnt out by the time July rolled around...

You burn out by the 2nd week.

And sometimes before the first week is out! 😛
Not this time, though. I've got something in the works (a couple of somethings, really) that I've been meaning to do that'll set the stage for other projects down the road! 😎

From my limited experience I have to conclude that burn-out time is in some kind of ratio to the difficulty of the project or the inherent frustration involved. Slow progress is less painful than continual backtracking.

I have a couple of strategies that seem to work:
1) Set your goals so low that success is guaranteed.
2) Set your goals so high that success is impossible and then adjust your definition of success to include whatever small steps you did accomplish.

;-) I plan to drink some rum and perhaps eat some chilli gummy bears. Yes! Chilli!
I think that's low enough for us all.

Chilli Gummis! Wow!
I wonder if they'll market Guinness Gummis in the future..? One can only hope.

My first diary entry is up, but it just dawned on me that going to the "root" URL shows a placeholder page, while going to index.html works.
http://retro-net.org/~anonymousfreak/index.html is the proper link.
Anyone know how to make the RetroNET web server properly link to the base URL?

Anyway, I've changed the link on the RC page just to be safe.

I'll be writing my first official diary entry this weekend, but I do want to say that so far it has been a success, yellow stripe on the 150 screen and all! New Math Blaster Plus and MacWrite Pro have been used so far with more oldies on the way--I'm looking at OutNumbered, Midnight Rescue, and possibly Carmen USA next!

Post the link, I can never find your RC stuff on your site.

www.scottbaret.com
I put it on the main page; scroll down a bit when it loads and you'll find it under the boldface header "Retrochallenge Update".
I didn't want to put it under one of the tabs, so I figured the main page would work best, especially since the project will be over in August. (I will be writing a full blog entry about it though, probably under "High Wattage Noggin").
