Just over the horizon, the New Year is marching toward us, whether we want it to arrive or not. 2002 is now 2 weeks away.
How are you preparing for 2002? Do you have a "to do" list to help you start the year fresh? Things to do to jog yourself out of a rut? To finish that last little bit of unfinished 2001 business? Things to do "just because" end-of-year is as good a time as any? Perl-related physic burdens to unload?
What's on your list?
My list of things to do by year-end is
- Install 5.6.1 on all of my computers, even the junkyard thing upstairs that only gets turned on ever few weeks.
- Crack open each computer case, and blow out the dust.
- Clean off my desktops, both real and virtual. There's too much clutter within reach, and too many things that I reach for often are just out of reach.
- Box up old books to make room for new ones. Santa is supposed to bring a copy of davorg's Data Munging with Perl, and I need room for it.
- Fix that one lingering web app that still doesn't use CGI;
- Get my house off of the Silicon Valley "war driving" maps by configuring the wireless access point to not send an SSID. (Yeah, that might not be enough. Sigh.)
- Upgrade the firewall to SSH2.
- Defrag the drive on my laptop.
- Catch up on full backups. (done)
