To-do list
by Jon Sullivan - 2019-12-17 - Status
<<<<< previous blog next blog >>>>>
I love lists. My lists are a map of my future. Also, as quite a lazy and forgetful man, perhaps lists are the only way I get anything done.
Maybe that's why I love software development. The life cycle of a new feature to program is one list after another. Smartly organized and obsessively detailed. Make a list, follow it, and great software comes out the other end. A shitty list, or not being able to follow it adequately, leads to shitty software. But a good proper list of requirements is beautiful in itself.
Here is the current to-do list.
- Lose weight. This will be a constant until I die most likely. I hate being fat, yet I am a fat man at heart.
- Make a will. My sister is going to be in a world of hurt if I don't plan for her (or whoever) needing to get into my stuff after I'm gone. I take data security pretty seriously.
- Get flights and hotels for the may Belgium trip. Running out of time damn it. Need to get on this.
- Get rid of more crap I never use. Big-screen, old fridge, etc. Trying to sell it is more of a pain in the ass then I'll put up with. Need someone to just come haul it. All of it. Anyone near San Diego want lots of free stuff?
- Car stuff. Smog check and new driver's license. Real ID this time. Might as well.
- More coding on this blog. Mainly, beat down errors. Add new sections. Keywords. Categories. Search.
- More photos. While I love photography, and it makes me deeply happy, I'm still very lazy. Need to suck it up and go out.
- More cooking. I'm a leftovers kind of guy. But cooking makes me happy as well. Same problem as above - Too lazy to do things that make me happy. So silly.
- Post more recipes. People love recipes.
- Get Warcraft alts leveled. Obviously. And pet battles. And Transmog.
- Do something about the poor state of my patio. Since it's likely bringing down the property value in it's current state.
- Make a final decision about more tattoos. Sort of happy with what I have, but feels like a lot is missing.
- Get outside now and then. No idea how I don't die of vitamin D deficiency.

- Jon is not crazy
The crazy is gone. Now we tidy up after the mess two years of crazy has left behind. Or Not.
- New Jon vs
I was caught off guard by the folks disappointed that I was moving on from "New Jon" posts.
- Thanksgiving menu plan
Time passes fast in Oregon. Seems too early to start Thanksgiving planning. It's not.
- Are we there yet?
Let's back it up a bit. The last couple years have been so odd that it often feels disconnected from reality.
- Jon is a hippie
After 40 years of rejecting anything hippie, 60s culture, jam band, or related, I find myself getting back on the bus.
- Wake up dead
My intention was to go to the GBB Fest VII concert with friends. Then reality dissolved, and I soared through strange new dimensions.
- Short takes
Random thoughts since I'm feeling too lazy to make a long post, but too eager to hear the sound of my own voice.
