Chapter One: The Rules

THE RULES

Several Retrobloggers have created a set of rules for themselves; here is my set
of variations:

FOR LO; UPON THYNE APPOINTED TIME, THY PISMO SHALT BE TURNED TO THE POWER STATE
OF ÔOFFÕ AND SHALL BE PLACED, WITH POWER YOYO AND WIFI CARD, INTO THY LAPTOP BOX
AND SHALT BE SEALED FOR THAT LENGTH.

At 12:01 am, 1 July 2007 my Powerbook G4 shalt be turned off and packed away
[off premise, if possible]. For the purposes of this excersize, IÕm not allowed
to touch anything under ten years old.
I will still carry a phone, but it will be off and not an Orwellian Electronic
Tether. And no, no iPhones are to be had.

PRIOR TO PACKING AWAY, THY PISMO SHALT YEILD UP ALL DOCUMENTS AND CLASSIC
APPLICATIONS ON COMPACT DISKS OF MACOS CLASSIC FORMAT; AND FUTHERMORE, THESE
FILES SHALT ALL BE BACKED UP TO PORTABLE EXTERNAL MEDIA.

ThatÕs the next job...

THY WEB SHALT BE AVAILIBLE, AND YET THERE SHALT BE NO FACEBOOKERY, MYSPACERY, OR
YOUTUBERY.

This also means my addiction to Jibjab will be put to the test, and no IllWill
Press, either.

THY SHALT EMBRACE HONORED METHODS OF WRITTEN COMMUNICATON.
Not only email and IRC, but also written letters, at least three letters a week.

DOCUMENTATION SHALT BE HAD IN HORDES; THY SHALT TAKE COPIOUS NOTES,
PHOTOGRAPHS, AND SCREENSHOTS, AND ALL SHALT BE BLOGGED.
