Harena's To-Do List
/archive: to-do stuff done or abandoned
Current events - The Hypertwin Calendar

I have been attempting, not always successfully, to keep my to-do list here in the wiki; I think Esther Dyson has explained the theoretical benefits of this better than I've been able to. For more explanation, see /strategy.

The List

Josh
- 2007-10-03 finish application to Albemarle people
- 2007-10-03 keep sending email to Durham One Call (once or twice a day), and call if it bounces. (Trying to get msg to Jill Hoffman.)
- 2007-10-03 make list of what else needs to be done, and prioritize. Go to school and bug people? Just need to have a list of all the things we could or "should" be doing, and then see what we can actually be doing.
- 2007-10-03 I'm totally lost about where we are with the whole TEACCH thing. I guess the next thing is to respond to her email? Mention about the Albemarle people wanting TEACCH's evaluation.
vbz.net - development
- thorns-in-side (hampering operations):
  - 2007-10-03 stock display is much too slow
    - finish migrating related queries to MySQL (almost done with this)
  - 2007-10-03 catalog building is also ridiculously slow; investigate fixability
- migration - urgent things which can't be done until resolved
  - 2007-10-03 topic maintenance
    - find old version of Access db which still has ID_Parent field in topics table
    - migrate data to MySQL
  - 2007-10-03 image maintenance
    - figure out shortest path to getting this working
creative
- funny stuff:
  - 2007-10-03 polish off & record "Stand Up to Your Rights"
  - 2007-10-03 record "Losing All My Organs"
  - 2007-10-03 record "Stop and Smell the Roadkill"

The Log

A log of what I actually spend time on. Note that some things may get preference because they help me to relax; if I don't relax, then I get all avoidant about the stuff that isn't relaxing and I end up neither relaxing nor getting any work done.

current

2007-10-05 - themes: PW, HW, CR
- pay bills
- email invoice to Lisa@S&S
  - ask if they need anything more formal
  - check how things are going
  - ask about keys (mention stopping by on Tuesday)
- test Durham One email again, to see if they've fixed it

past

2007-10-03 - themes: VBZD, JS:
- Migrated most of the needed vbz queries for improving stock-form speed
- grocery shopping (unavoidable)
- Filled out most of Albemarle form
- Emailed Durham One Call to try to track down Jill Hoffman
- Revamped to-do list: new strategy
- Called Durham One because the email bounced; asked after-hours operator to report the problem
- Emailed Elizabeth Byars at TEACCH
2007-10-04 - themes: JS, PW, VBZO; +VBZD
- re-emailed Durham One, repeatedly, including from GMail.
  - all emails bounced, so I called and left my name and phone number.
- had to reinstall MS Office on Vincent because of Gonzo being temporarily invisible to some machines.
  - Copied install CD to Rizzo and installed from there this time. Should be able to get rid of install image on Gonzo at this point.
- shipped 2 vbz orders
- updated stock table to use remote queries; although remote cbx query still not working, just using the sub-queries remotely seems to make enough of a difference, and table display is now much quicker
