The Writings on the Wall
I’m a dork. A forgetful, live in the moment, swiss cheese brained dork. And there’s no way around that at all.
Which is why I’ve decided that having a poster up on my wall with a list of things that need to get done on a semi-regular basis might be a good idea. I’ve had success with putting signs on the wall before (”Don’t forget your keys, dumbass” was the best one in both working-ness and cool-ness), so I’m 99% sure that it’ll work.
The problem is figuring out what to put on the poster. Some things like “Go to class” are so common that I don’t think they should take up space. “Make your Winthrop payment” are important, but it doesn’t happen often enough to where I think it needs to be there.
Finding that balance is hard. I’d love to have some ideas for what should go on there. The only thing I know will be there now is “Update GnuCash” because there’s no point in having it if I don’t use it.
Return of the CD List
Some of you will probably remember how I used to have a CD list on Juggle Chainsaws, and how it got taken away when I stopped adding to it. Well, it’s back. Sort of. It’s on a different site and has a lot more functionality.
Racks and Tags, along with Orange CD, have given me a place to display it. And trust me, it’s a lot better than manually entering everything into a MySQL database. I get just about everything I could ever want (adding lyrics to tracks would be great, or having it suck in the track times when adding something from Amazon), and it’s less work.
I’m sure a few people will think I was paid somehow for this. But I wasn’t. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Well, not the online display part. That’s just a bonus.
