Labor Day Weekend Projects

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by Brian Daniel Eisenberg

My day started at Zoka Coffee in the University District.

Coffee, breakfast, and some light coding / app config. Then bailed for home, which is where I’m at right now. As it’s a holiday weekend, where many our out squeezing in one last extended summer weekend, I’m pretty well tied up with the reality that are my unavoidable deliverables. I’ve got no problem spending my weekend this way, as I know I am working hard towards something much bigger. So with that, here’s a list of what I’ve got on tap this Labor Day weekend.

What are you all doing? @infinitelymeta me on Twitter or *Like* this post on Friendfeed to get in on the conversation. That’s where I tend to hang out on socnets these days.

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Brian’s Uber List

1. New range/oven delivery for unit 2214 (one of my new tenants stove broke so I replaced it with this:
   
2. Put out For Rent sign for my soon to be available 1BR apartment in Eastlake, Seattle WA 98102. It rents for $1400 and is the entire lower floor of an historic Victorian home that was built in 1908. An excellent spacious unit with great lighting. Email eastlakeassociates at gmail if interested or call 206.328.3379 and leave a message.

   

3. Java/JSF/AJAX - I’m putting the final interfaces and code tweaks in place for a project that I’ve spend a quarter working on. Final interfaces in place, but still have 75+ line item bug list. Need to go code complete by Monday evening to begin FTP transfer of Development VMware image from one side of our network to an internal only host. Still have A LOT of work ahead of me to finish this project and go into team only beta next week with Public Beta (internal corp net) on Sept 8.
   
4. Landscaping & trim to prep for fall. Luckily, I really enjoy this task. Especially when my 5.5 yr old nephew Logan joins me. He makes some pretty good coin and he’s a GREAT helper.
   
5. Working with my friend Thom, the Ichthyogenius on our latest project, Reef In A Box that we are looking to launch in the coming months.
6. Working on the YTranslate.us engine. Coding in PHP/mySQL/Python/etc. Toying with new SMS gateway (thanks to Mona’ Friendfeed post).
7. Meeting with contractor on some fix-r-up-r projects for 3 of my apts in preparation for Fall/Winter.
8. Looking for electrician to install some motion-sensor aware lighting in my back alley and in between my building to deal with my unwanted-persons-on-my-property challenge.
9. Water changes & general maintenance on my 300 gallon reef tank.
10. Prep/meet with GC on new reef tank project. Wait till you see what I’m going to build. It’s gonna pop!
11. Shade garden v2. Part of the landscaping stuff I suppose, but definitely worthy of mention.
12. Replace fire extinguisher in common area to be in compliance with recent Seattle City Fire Department inspection.

That’s all I can remember for now.
