Does modifying my hack log count? ;-) Fun game, reminds me of http://calendaraboutnothing.com/

Haha, I thought about that. And yes! If it gets you to the computer thinking about doing something (anything!) hacking related, then sure, it counts. The point is to just do something, with the thought that it will likely lead to "as long as I'm here" moments.

Using your hack log as your commit remains lame, however. :)

I fell off the horse on Friday. Went out for a B'day, came home too late and fell asleep completely forgetting. Decided to stable him for a few days and start riding again on Monday.

Bummer - in my case it was simply having done a bunch of work in the morning, and then forgetting later that I hadn't actually committed it. At least it was when I was in the low teens - would have sucked to have that happen on day 75 or something.

It's an interesting exercise, though!

I got to 50. I think that might be it for this round. It was fun, but it's starting to take its toll.

I think I will pick this back up again soon, maybe for shorter sprints. I have specific goals for some of my public projects that I haven't reached yet and this is an easy, low-overhead way of making steady progress.

This experiment really inspired me to use public gists as a way of not "falling off the horse" when committing to a daily routine. It works well for me when I know other people can permanently see what I've done.

I've been thinking along the same lines. I've even started thinking things like "that might be worth devoting 20 points to."
