The To-Do List

Posted on by

Either things are actually due on Monday, or I’m making them so.

  • Design “Homework” for Y!: I got started today… only a couple of hours here and there. Looks like there’s quite a bit to be done.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Optimize later…
    • Goal tonight: Finish the markup, at least.
  • CVS/SVN presentation: Both from the admin and the client point of view (including Mac and PC svn clients). I’ve implemented the server before, but I’m still not 100% satisfied as to what I can actually do.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Once again… stop being so darn detail-oriented
  • Slowdown bug for Moodle upgrades: Using Xdebug to profile Moodle, and to see where the bottleneck is…
    • Possible Solution: Cache the DB if the problem is indeed MySQL.
    • Goal tonight: Continue figuring out where the bottleneck is… debugging isn’t as nearly as fun as design…
  • Attend the Webmaster Forum on Thursday: Means… I have to go back to Urbana by Wednesday night.
  • Decide who to tell about my dreams and hopes…
    • Indeed… tricky situation…

Silliness in Siebel

Chalupa, Part 3

There goes the diet.

Been at Siebel for about 9 hours.

Instead of looking at the business-related “documentation” I’ve accumulated over the past couple of days (I cannot believe how useful my Entrepreneurship class notes packet is…), I’ve decided to go and wear the coding hat again.

More and more, I see these two natures battling within me. I really want to be able to wear the two hats well… do I really have to pick? Can’t I be both?

Zone?

I’m up customizing a Educational CMS (moodle) for College of Education. Dang, it feels good.

I haven’t been up this late for quite some time. I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy being in the zone like this.

32 oz of Dew and some snacks (this time, Sun Chips) 4 hours ago, I feel completely wiped. Too bad I have my admissions interview for the MBA program at UIUC at 10:15.

I really wanted to write a proposal for how I was going to spend this week today, but I ran out of time.

This past week had a lot of inefficiencies. I napped excessively… I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever napped this much in a week in my entire life (including when I was an infant… I’m told I didn’t nap very much back then… maybe it’s catching up to me…).

And then… about cooking. I’m going to give up on getting better in this area. It’s not worth the time right now… I do, however, like figuring out efficient ways of saving time and money and effort in providing sustenance for myself. I just need to make sure that my desire to improve this skill is kept in check.

I think that’s all I’ve got left in me today.
