FAQ

How?

I have no idea. I’m going to figure that out next. This is where I will be logging my efforts.

How can I follow along?

What is this repository

I am starting this repo as a place to blog about my efforts. Why here? Because I tend to write Markdown, and GitHub displays that just fine. And because I don’t actually need more than that. I’m used to Git, and this will leave me with an interesting publishing platform.

Why 2117.91? That seems oddly specific.

It’s the amount of money in one of my US Government Stafford Loans, set at 6.5%APR. I want to see how fast I can get rid of it. This is an attempt to do that fast.

… By Sunday?

Arbitrary constraints are assets. I’m hoping that this goal will help give me the illusion of scarcity of time, which will make me think a bit more creatively about how to accomplish my goal.

Can I help?

Of course! Open an issue with your questions, or write me at richard+2117@burntfen.com, or hit me up on Twitter at @richlitt.

If you want to donate money.

I am not a charity case. I plan to make money by providing services. But if you’re a charitable person, I certainly won’t stop you. 🙇‍
