| Some quick news for the Old Computer Challenge! | |
| As it's too tedious to monitor the time spent on the Internet, I'm now | |
| using a chronometer for the day... and stopped using Internet in small | |
| bursts. It's also currently super hot where I live right now, so I | |
| don't want to do much stuff with the computer... | |
| I can handle most of my computer needs offline. When I use Internet, | |
| it's now for a solid 15 minutes, except when I connect from my phone | |
| for checking something quickly without starting my computer, I rarely | |
| need to connect it more than a minute. | |
| This is a very different challenge than the previous one because we | |
| can't stay online on IRC all day speaking about tricks to improve our | |
| experience with the current challenge. On the other hand, it's the | |
| opportunity to show our writing skills to tell about what we are going | |
| through. | |
| I didn't write the last days because there wasn't much to say. I miss | |
| internet 24/7 though, and I'll be happy to get back on the computer | |
| without having to track my time and stop after the hour, which always | |
| happen too soon! |
