Inspirational post.

Last year, I [1] set a goal to teach myself git by committing at least once every day for a month. At the end of this, I saw the streak, and was too afraid to see it go down to 1 in a snap. Ever since, I've been committing code daily, and it's been about 40 weeks, and I'm still going strong. Being a full time student, this wasn't really easy for me, but I'm proud of myself.

The one thing I learned is, that the problem isn't the lack of ideas or time, but the lack of motivation to work on them.

Being fairly new to programming, I usually have a hard time coming up with realistic/manageable ideas that can be completed in a reasonable timeframe.

Your huge list of projects has been a huge help in that regard, so thanks!
