Nearly all of you have your first post and at least a plan, while most of the you have some progress recorded. I really appreciate that some unusual platforms are getting some love here. There are some very technical projects and some simple ones focused on documenting things for those who come next. Great variety. Those of you doing endurance challenges, using your retro computers daily, I see and appreciate you! A few of the <a href="https://www.retrochallenge.org/p/entrants-list-202410.html">competitors</a> are posting on gopher blogs (phlogs). Make sure to check them out using a native browser like <a href="https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/">Lagrange</a>. <p>Quote of the week: <blockquote><b>It has been a while since I entered Retro Challenge, but I think I remember what to do. It goes something along the lines of stating at the start of the month that you are going to design [something], and then at the end of the month report back in with minimal progress.</b><br> --semach.the.monkey</blockquote> I know that feeling all too well! If you are feeling overwhelmed with your current project, just spend some time using an old computer and blog about it. Those are often some of the most entertaining, insightful, and rewarding projects. Or, check out the other participants and use the inpiration to do something related. <p>With all the competitors, I will be closing the entry form in a few days.

I am putting together a little history of the RetroChallenge that I hope to have finished by the end of the event, along with some recognition for the people who have kept this fun event running over the years. <h3>Prizes</h3> <p>As much as I love our traditional mousepads, I am really excited about the custom RetroChallenge enamel pins and keychains that I just ordered: <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWGWVolom4WXm_X6-h3ARf1Rcu-T8kHKoB0eG29pbnAA9QrDE7anX6F1vVwWZ5zBPEr2BXBvwjETtGPGQ1xVx8YE8o11FzIY25WN9CcoohMvxFnrV8CMyqiP2Gm7LowS6CiCImElETkvePE5OpiiZo9zmh-Wh8AR1_h0wnMW1BMkI08c27qaD54QMh10/s691/RC2024_prizes.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="RetroChallenge pin and keychain with 4 color 'RETRO' and Chicago font'Challenge'" border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="691" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWGWVolom4WXm_X6-h3ARf1Rcu-T8kHKoB0eG29pbnAA9QrDE7anX6F1vVwWZ5zBPEr2BXBvwjETtGPGQ1xVx8YE8o11FzIY25WN9CcoohMvxFnrV8CMyqiP2Gm7LowS6CiCImElETkvePE5OpiiZo9zmh-Wh8AR1_h0wnMW1BMkI08c27qaD54QMh10/s320/RC2024_prizes.png" width="320"/></a></div> The pins are perfect for your vintage computer festival lanyards and the keychain will keep your Macintosh Quadra 950, Centurion minicomputer, and IBM 5170 keys nicely organized. Maybe even your house and car keys too. Every entry selected by the judges will receive one of each of these beauties. <p><a href="https://z80kits.com">semachthemonkey</a> is providing a "pretty special" RC2014 related prize for a winner of the RC2014 category. I can't wait to hear some more details from him. <p>I have some MC14500b 1-bit computer chipset kits that I put together from extras purchased for my RC2024 project. <p>Granz has kindly offered up some <a href="https://www.sbprojects.net/projects/nano6802/index.php">6802 Nano computer</a> PCBs for prize winners. We will gather up the components to make full kits out of them. <p>Finally, <a href="https://acms.org.au/">ACMS</a> will be providing prizes to its members as one of its official activities. <p>But remember, the RetroChallenge is not about the winning! Anyone who completes the month will receive the judge's applause and the internet's respect, forever! <h3>Projects</h3> <p>As the years have progressed the RetroChallenge projects have trended more and more technical, but I want to assure you all that you don't need to be an engineer to participate. Just use your retrocomputer for a month, whether it is for journaling, composing chiptunes, playing games, or using MacPaint to make some funny drawings. We are here for all of it! <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06765059549332407655' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06765059549332407655' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>epooch</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://www.retrochallenge.org/2024/09/two-weeks-till-retrochallenge.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://www.retrochallenge.org/2024/09/two-weeks-till-retrochallenge.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-09-16T13:23:00-04:00'>1:23 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://www.retrochallenge.org/2024/09/two-weeks-till-retrochallenge.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-756188989'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2990242987353314382&postID=5832343304765386682&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2990242987353314382&postID=5832343304765386682&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2990242987353314382&postID=5832343304765386682&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
