+With a brand new year, comes a fresh start, a clean slate. I am going to begin
+my new year with something I have just come across: [100daysofcode](http://100daysofcode.com/) challenge. 
+I have forked the 100 days of code repo from github and am using the log to
+track my daily progress. It will be fun, and it will be a great way to keep me
+accountable for building my python knowledge. Here is an example snippet from
+the code I did for day 1.
+
+### Day 1:
+{% highlight python %}
+
+def gen_ssh_keypair():
+    """ Generate an RSA private / public keypair """
+    key = RSA.generate(2048)
+
+    # generate private key - output to file
+    with open('rsa_privkey.pem', 'wb') as privkey:
+        privkey.write(key.exportKey())
+
+    # generate public key - output to file
+    with open('rsa_pubkey.pem', 'wb') as pubkey:
+        pubkey.write(key.publickey().exportKey())
+
+    return 0
+    
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+
+### Day 2:
+Today we are going to make a Discord chat bot. Bots have always been interesting to me.
+Trying to make a computer program behave like a human sounds like a fun
+challenge, and a great way to play some fun pranks on my friends on Discord.
+So far, I have sketched up the initial framework in my python program using the
+discordpy library. I will need to learn more about the following:
+- asyncio
+- coroutines
+These seem to be two main concepts that this library uses, and it will help aid
+my skills in the future when making programs that focus on performance.
+
+### Day 3:
+Today I could not find time to work on the coding aspect of the bot, but I did
+grab some audio recordings that I need for the bot. I am mainly making this bot
+to prank my friends in discord with voice recordings of funny moments that
+occur in discord. I am going to make it queryable via prepending commands with
+a !. I still did get to code today for work. I am working on some stuff in
+python and I have to write unit tests, so I wrote a test for a couple of
+functions
