Challenge!

Well, today I begin an epic challenge. My goal: to install linux on a decade-old laptop!

Now I wouldn't normally call this kind of thing a challenge. People put Linux on all kinds of thing. But the problem here is that I will be installing it on a laptop that can't boot from CD and has no floppy drive. So in theory, I can not install it. (There's this whole complicated thing with compiling the linux kernel - you have to be in a UNIXish environment to compile it or something...).

Wish me luck in doing the impossible!

Progress

It turns out that the only thing you really need to write a screenplay is inspiration and an idea. I've finally gotten the chance to brainstorm and write my idea for the basis of my movie, which should be finished in five months if all goes right.
The title of this article is a link to the script so far. I'm writing it in Plotbot for ease of use and it's collaboration features.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to finish in time. I'm not too worried about the principle photography - it's the post-processing I'm worried about. Especially the editing. How am I even going to go about this?
