Personal - TODO

So, there are a number of things I would've liked to do had I been less lazy. I'll list them here.

1. Design and implement a pessimistic soft locking thingy for work.
2. Redesign the blog with a side panel, redoing the bookmarks/feedreader. Add calendar, memories, more easily maintainable code.
3. Talk to a doctor about my RSI before it gets much worse. Make necessary alterations to work environment at work and at home.
4. Refactor the hell out of the HTML grid widget experiment to make it usable. It was really neat, and really ugly too…
   1. Before XForms (or whatever the replaces XHTML) makes it obsolete…
5. Profile a major MFC app at work to at least find the performance bottleneck(s). It's suspiciously slow, even on state of the art hardware. I bet it's the UI, but it could be anything (dynamic memory allocation, too much copying, not using parallelism, etc.)
6. Compile list of hackers I admire for inspiration at work (and to use as excuse for not shaving).
7. Write the self-challenging short-story plot bunny I had.
8. Design a prototype eXtensible Fanfic Description Format.
   1. with strong validation and performance oriented characteristics, but language and fandom independent.
   2. With diff's embeddable in Atom feeds.
9. Design a normalized ERD to store XFDF documents.
   1. In as much an implementation-independent way as possible, leaning to postgresql (there are good reasons, but not personal experience yet).
10. Implement two-way conversion between data represented in the two previous forms.
    1. mod_python for Apache2. I speak out of hype, not experience, here.
11. Design XSLT (or something) to represent XFDF documents on the web, search for them in a database etc.
    1. As in, a site.
12. exercize.
13. read less fic.
14. Consider writing my own fractal thingy.
    1. Probably playing with a real one will satisfy me.
15. Build the 3D project I fantasize about.
    1. Well, it's a portable OpenGL Rubik's Cube. With "scramble" and "solve" buttons, of course. Google turned up a few projects, but none of which I'm entirely happy with.

This is roughly in order of most likely to be completed first. Note: Everything is subject to change.
