With RailsDay mere hours away I thought I’d throw this thought out  
there for those of you who seriously considered doing rails day but  
didn’t actually get signed up for it. Maybe you missed the cutoff,  
maybe you think you’ll be able to make piles of cash off of your  
project and don’t want to share the source. Whatever your reason, if  
you’ll be near your computer why not play the “Home Version”.

It’s a great challenge, and we’re doing this for the joy of hacking  
anyway. So sit down, obey the same rules, and see if you can do it. If  
you won’t actually be able to hack for the full 24 hours then why not  
just work as much as you can tomorrow and work the remaining hours  
later this week?
