Apparently, there are others calling what I am doing "The Yusupov Challenge" and I have managed to locate the blogs of some other folks who either have attempted the challenge (and given up) or who are currently doing the challenge still.
As I locate these brave souls, I will post their blogs here (in the order I find them; no special preference is given).
I will update this as I come across more links.
