Woozle: To-Do List

"What a to-doooo!" -- Glimfeather, The Silver Chair

Introduction

I keep my to-do list here in the wiki, for all to see, for the following reasons:

• <insert sad violin> so people can see how terribly I suffer under the yoke of overwork etc.
• So Harena can keep tabs on it, add stuff, etc.
• So others can offer suggestions, etc.
• Perhaps the public display of the list will encourage me not to abandon it, etc.
• etc.

Harena Reminders

1. (4/28) Check for bills to pay!

The List

1. (VBZ Urgent, 4/?) Get email import thingy working.

3. (me, 5/7) Back up this wiki. Really. Before something bad happens.
4. (VBZ, 4/14) Fix problem with Stock Log table -- restock items are having their Restock Item ID logged instead of the Restock ID.
5. (VBZ, 3/?) Fix problem with catalog topics (not showing anything) -- turns out to be same as this problem:
   • (VBZ, 3/20) Revise topic pages script to group items by type (had this working earlier; where did that go??)

21. (VBZ, ~3/1) migrate VBZ from shared hosting to dedicated server (hopefully before next billing cycle)
22. (me, 3/?) Send Anna an email with Thoughts in it.
23. (VBZ/me) Begin posting info on lawsuit, and discuss pros/cons of publishing more than just the public documents
24. (VBZ) Desperately need mailing list sub/unsub web script so VBZ can have a mailing list with multiple categories
25. (VBZ) put tags on loose inventory and put it in proper boxes
26. (Harena, ~3/20) email Jackson's mom about possible playdate(s) for Benjamin
27. (me) either get sound recording working on Linux, or move multitrack audio card over/back to Win98
28. (me/VBZ) Set up regular backups for Camilla & Bunsen

(this list is by no means complete)

In-Between Tasks

tasks not requiring much thought, so they can be done while waiting for computers etc.

1. (Hypertwins 3/22) add more blockage to half-door so Benj can't unlock it

On Hold

items scheduled or awaiting resources that are currently unavailable

1. (Harena) Consolidate Verizon landlines on ringtones & caller ID (Verizon needs permission letter first so I can make changes)
2. (VBZ 3/22 from neglected email of 3/18) Formally send in dispute of $60 chargeback (grr... sent it via email... but they want it faxed or something) -- need signed statement from Tene as proof
3. (VBZ, 3/25) Email F1741, F1746, F2092, F2163, F2312, F2344, F2355, F2419, F2477, F2500: do they still want the stuff they ordered? -- need to import F1xxx order emails, which needs email importer thingy because I'm tired of importing folders piecemeal
