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.

The List

  1. (VBZ 7/1) Delete LD's dad's hosting account, if he hasn't paid yet.
  2. (us, 8/16) Consolidate email accounts:
    • Harena's POP should be @ownedbycats.org
    • One POP for Woozle

    • Move ownedbycats.org to TheRealms and turn on spam filtering
