ISO month-long project.

[nonethefewer]

rosefox suggests a month-long project to help distract me from current frustrating-sadness. I don't know what I could do that would sufficiently distract me. Options:

- Study something related to my job.
- Buy and assemble bookshelves for my room. Subsequently log books.
- Start working on that knitted-squares-blanket thing R and I are slated to do.
- Complete that fire-safety page on our intranet and purchase what needs purchasing.
- Bite the bullet and set up a proper file server at home.
- I don't know.

Input is entirely welcome, so long as you have a vague idea of who I am (and so don't suggest daft things like "go for a hike").

Programming/Tech Ideas

I was looking into angular.js yesterday and it seems really fun. I have very mixed feelings about shoving all the heavy lifting of a web app onto the browser's js engine, but tres cool, in a really elegant usable way.

I decided the solution to my SendHub problem was to roll my own solution from sort-of-scratch: I wrote against Twilio's API and it was a pleasure. At least the SMS part, haven't tried the voice part. Extremely affordable, too. If you have some creative ideas for SMS-to-internet and vice versa, that could be fun, and rewarding in that I got something doing what I wanted very rapidly, so I got my little egoboo of success without too much flailing.

My sweetie has been playing with node.js and says it's very enjoyable.

If you want to be differently frustrated, you could try to accomplish something in CSS3, if you are not a CSS3 wizard already. It will infuriate you, but then you could add it to your resume and be infuriated for large sums of money.

Do you have a backup system for your various devices and accounts? If not, maybe that would be useful.
