sorry, brian. *rueful*. ok, allow me to explain, put forward an alternative hypothesis, and a potential solution. some time in about 1996 i read that, because capitals are less common, they're tiring to read. except for spanish-speaking people, who shout at each other anyway, and who have the exact opposite convention, to use capital letters all the time. on the basis of these two observations, i decided 19 years ago not to use capital letters except for proper nouns, shouting and other appropriate uses. one side-effect of not using the shift key is that i can type at over 170wpm, continuously, for over 20 mins. my working hypothesis is, therefore, that the tiredness stems from "information overload". i've sort-of instinctively recognised this, which is why i keep communications to "short bursts" and only at critical times (such as right now). in any account: in respect of your (implicit) wishes, and in the interests of helping free software progress, it would therefore help, greatly, for _other people_ to pick up the ball and run with this project, to the extent that they are prepared to and able to. i've done the hard work - found the CPU, found the factory - it's downhill from here. the TODO list includes: * web site (run under the Community Interest Company) * uploading the GPL kernel to a community repository * alpha-level early prototype kernel development * beta-level 2ndary prototype software development * wiki instructions development * etc. etc. several people have agreed already to be informal (debian-leader-like) admins of the CIC web site, and we have 8 people willing to buy prototype boards (2nd-stage / betas). progress.... :) l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
