Intent to participate: 100 Years of Relaxation #52

Hi everyone! This is my first NaNoGenMo, and here is the rough format:

The plot: After the events of 2020, the overly wealthy narrator becomes a cyborg and quarantines indefinitely. This is their day-to-day diary from 100 years later.

The format: Dated diary entries. If I have the math correctly, with 50,000 words, one year works out to a rough minimum of 134 words per entry (plus 3 words each for the day) which seems doable. Most likely it will go over.

The text: I have a few ideas of routines (examples: a fantasy football league and simulation stock market the narrator reports on; varying emotion of the text based on that performance); some 1918 stuff is in public domain if I figure out something viable to do with that.

The code: In Python; the idea is to format both as plaintext and as an HTML page. (This will probably not involve any kind of machine learning or the like, since I'm just recently learning Python for this and that is currently well above my pay grade.)

The rationale: I need something on my github that isn't related to Oregon Trail II. More seriously, I wanted to do something involving actual coding rather than interpreting code.

The title: A mashup of "100 Years" and My Year of Rest and Relaxation.

The repository: https://github.com/katstasaph/nanogenmo2020 -- right now, obviously, it is bare bones.
