Nice challenge, shame you missed it... looks fun and tricky but doable.

 Gr> This year, her challenge is basically around restricting your internet
 Gr> usage.

 Gr> The challenge this year is to only use the Internet for 1 hour/day
 Gr> total.  I'm not in a place where I can play along this year, but it'll
 Gr> be fun to watch and I'll be reducing time wherever possible.

Using the internet for 1 hour/day :') this doesn't include work, right? I think 























































































































































































































































































































































































































I could do that some times, but not every day, if it doesn't include work that 
is. If it included work I'd have no chance lol.

Hmm I like the sound of it, though.. and only for 1 week (July 10-17) so might 
be feasible. Does connecting to my BBS which is local count as internet as it 
has internet connecting services like MRC and API's to pull data and network 
messages etc. hmmmm if I can figure out a nice way I "could" make it that the 
BBS also has only 1 hour of connectivity a day but then everyone wanting to 
access it will have to wait until that hour lol.
