Lists of Tasks

[firstfrost]

Between harrock and I, I am the one who never tries to go on vacation unless dragged - except, as it turns out, for weddings and family holidays. So I can't really blame him for the horrible busyness this past week or so, as that was all weddings and family holidays that took me out of town before that.

Returning, there has been:

• Deactivation season begins with the Thousand Emails to Sponsors (of whom about half have anwered; it's not actually the thousand emails, but the five hundred replies, that gets a little hectic).
• Program for G&S, which I got something of a late start on
• Bunches of Dragon miniruns
• Figure out how to export a bunch of web pages to Kindle format as a single book, without doing too much work by hand
• Started tracking broken Kerberos entries in addition to broken null entries on hapless Moira lists, and stomping them out

Next things to think about:

• More miniruns, and get back on track with agrees.
• The continuation of deactivation season will be the first warning messages, leading to the probably single busiest day of the year
• Get back to cycling enough to be really tired, not just enough to be done
• Thanksgiving!

This deactivation season is going to mark the end of an era for me[1], though having @mit.edu hasn't mattered a whole lot lately[2]. (Heck, I even have a shorter-than-that email address thanks to Apple's switch to MobileMe.)

[1] As a side effect of the end of a different era, really....
[2] Well, with the exception of being able to register my wireless devices for access. *sigh*
