To Do

[haptalaon]

Plan for annual update of the Reading List (joyless)

• Procrastinate by posting on Dreamwidth. Give thanks for my aesthetic-political commitment to slow social media, as the almighty quietness of the site means this can take up no more than an hour before i run out of easy-feed content to passively absorb
• Make an excuse to keep doing so anyway: this is a bulleted list, I'm doing a slow typography revamp of my DW theme, and I have yet to tweak the List code.
• Look at and update the RL page code with my newfound CSS skills; make it mobile friendly
• Probably, get derailed by some kind of Dog Emergency
• Look at JabRef's export code and see if I can make my own exporting program which will split it out into separate pages
• If not, see if I can build a Ruby program which will do this for me
• Recognise I have yet again fallen for the classic programmer's error: 'this would take seconds if the task was automated, and about ten minutes for me to do it manually; so i shall spend three weeks creating a program to automate it, to save time'
• Go through my e-reader and see what is and is not on the jabref RL yet
• See if I can add tags in Calibre to mark read and unread RL texts
• Open up JabRef - add new books; check I'm still happy with previous entries;add missing dates etc
• Create a folder to save the old RL as an archive
• Run the program!
• Upload
• Reflect on my own mortality, the sweetness of my few hours upon this haunted earth, and put the task away for another year
