Graphics:
I started making a graphic to indicate my progress each day. I gave up after 3 days. Here was my colour scheme, in case I ever go back to it. The light green means I’ve written something, but it’s only something for this blog. I’ll use a dark green if I’ve written anything on one of my on-going projects, and a nice deep blue if I both write for one of my projects and posted something to the blog. (And after three days, I’m too d@#n tired to keep making and posting graphics. I wish there was a widget that could do this for me.)
