      80% done towards the first draft. Today’s chapter was awful: writing for eight hours through a headache, ended up with what feels like plodding, incoherent mess.

      But I suppose that’s good. Done is better than perfect, and so on. What’s awful to write is not always awful to read – plus, even if so, things can be made better in future revisions.

      In “Internet can still be good sometimes” news, I am having an email conversation with someone who actually used this 1959 Italian computer:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/931588975868837888 …

      I’m now at ten chapters left (including the intro and outro!), so I am doing A GIANT COUNTDOWN TO THE FIRST DRAFT. I will celebrate each chapter with a PR stratagem of posting a selfie with a keyboard I own. I don’t really do selfies, ever, so this will be… new. 🔟!!!pic.twitter.com/ciWtN399pd
