List Day: 12 Backlogged Side Projects

1. Swap out my PC power supply, which currently has a 40% of not turning back on after we lose power in a thunderstorm.


2. Become fluent in a non-Java programming language (likely Python or Kotlin) in time for Advent of Code 2022.


3. Migrate away from Eclipse IDE for my polyglot projects, possibly towards something like VSCode or IntelliJ.


4. Restart work on my open-source library, Sparkour.


5. Update the URI! Zone's SSL handling to use free, auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificates.


6. Update the URI! Zone's ancient reliance on Apache HTTPd, OpenLDAP, and Apache Tomcat, in order to learn more modern alternatives.


7. Do a visual makeover of the URI! Zone.


8. Migrate the Maitz & Wurts Studio Shop to a modern storefront solution.


9. Create a mobile app that shows nearby homeowner and sales information as I walk around the neighbourhood.


10. Reread the Wars of Light and Shadow series and post book-by-book reviews in anticipation of the final book in the series.


11. Reeducate myself on the current state of MIDI and wavetable synth, which has surely evolved beyond my 2001 Roland Sound Canvas, and update my old compositions currently lost in Finale file format limbo.


12. Rip all of the CDs in the house into MP3s and develop a NAS-based solution to play an entire library of owned MP3s from Alexa devices throughout the house.
