To Do's For You
Running to-do list, because I realized I was repeating the same to-dos in multiple posts without doing many of them. Interesting that the same happens with all my to-dos (see #4)... As of today, I am someone that follows through! (and a monk).
update 4/20/21: unsurprisingly this was not the day I stopped sucking at follow-through (last line... or at least what's currently the last line), but hey at least I made it back. Not quite for the to do list below, but because I have some new ones that feel a bit more important and searched 'to-do'... will my new to-dos always supersede the old ones? Probably - I'll always be a little older and wiser. That was a happy thought - comforting even - until before even finishing typing it I thought "older, wiser, and far more cynical" ... so maybe not a happy thought, but far more on brand for whoever the hell I am.
HOW on earth was this not part of the original list!?!? I went to modify it thinking "hey stop being so cynical, I could at least update the original instead of making a new one" ... except this important to-do wasn't on there at all, nevermind with my update: finalize the choice of both a logo and publication icon. better make sure it's something I want as a tattoo, because as of right now I'm determined it will be one. Wait a minute... what about the tattoos I already have!? The banksy balloon tattoo that no one would ever connect to the banksy balloon if not for my explanation (even then I doubt it's clear, but it is to me and that's what I care about right now... because I'm working on being selfish. hmph.) is something I could totally work with, particularly since it was my first tattoo. I wonder if there's trademarks on graffiti? Probably... I need to rewatch "Exit Through the Giftshop" (great movie, highly recommend), but seeing as I've been updating posts on here for over an hour instead of getting work done, now is not the time to do more than just get the thought down.
I just liked the rhyme, but it works if I'm talking to MFBS! Copying this from the march testing post that I likely never would have found again:
To Do:
- There has to be a way to better resize images from within the editor - i.e. "True Cliches" the sock picture is huge at the top of the article
- CODE INJECTION: it says style for headers/footers, but the help docs all sound way more advanced. focus on figuring out the header/footer ones, then get fancier. (NOTE TO PAST SELF FROM APRIL 2021 SELF: SQL injections are one of the top hacks! epic win, so I can only assume they are a little related and therefore mean they over-write whatever the default coding is set to).
- Javascript library: Sammi, you don't know javascript. However I guess looking at a library of it couldn't hurt, so figure out where/how to find that (github?)
- Gather all notes/docs/journals for 'overflow' entries – and check old posts, particularly "outtakes" since I just found a great start of a list about dating.*
- How to cross things out/strikethrough (definitely using markdown, but get more familiar with that).
- Figure out how to add a comments section – started looking into this, seems like I need an app integration, but I got hung up on the basics of even finding the files they're referencing. I'm 100% sure that this is just like when I transferred to BI and was so confused about the basics that I had trouble even knowing which questions to ask, but that's fine, I'll figure it out. Must be somewhere within git.. hub? lab? bash? I did try the other night:
- I've played with snippets, but I need to see what they look like (if anything) from the front-end.
*I literally just added that same note to the post 'baby steps' I wrote today. sigh. at least I'm consistent in wanting to get organized, but today's the day I stop sucking at follow-through!
still updating on 4/20/21: my need to get actual work done for my paying job is battling with my desire to go see the baby steps post and what exactly I duplicated. at least I know that when all else fails, my memory still sucks. that is not even close to a silver lining. if my parents don't leave soon I'm really going to lose my fucking mind - it'll make all the venmo apologies and dating games seem like child's play based on the sheer magnitude of annoyance in comparison to those times. just keep swimming, just keep swimming....
