Things What I Am Working On
Feb. 25th, 2006 11:02 pm* book review: The World of Chaucer (for the Ironstar, the local SCA newsletter)
* book review: Daily Life in the Middle Ages and Daily Life in the Late Middle Ages (also for the Ironstar; very different books, both interesting, but it'll be a cool compare & contrast)
* book review: Gonne Porn book (for the Ironstar, and for the Compagnie mailing list)
* name project: Names from Dorset, 1453-1460 (had a couple people look at it and it's pretty good, but I need to try to sort out what more of the names mean)
* name project: Given Names from Les noms des Juifs de France au Moyen Age (I'll be collecting the data using Microsoft Access, not because I think it's a great program, but because learning how to use it will be a Good Job Thing)
* name project: Given Names from Etymologisches Worterbuch der Deutschen Familiennamen: A Sampling (since entering the whole thing is quite literally going to take me years, I'm going to stop at the end of the B names and get the article out. And then revise it every once in a while, as I add more names.)
* learning: read through all the tutorials in Corel Draw, especially the ones about using colour
* learning: read through all the tutorials in Corel PhotoPaint
* learning: one of the temp agencies I'm registered with has a lot of free online training stuff; I ain't stupid, so I'm going to take advantage of it
* arts/web project: updating my Russian Embroidery web page from a gazillion years ago, with all-new scans
* learning: find a good HTML tutorial and read through the whole thing
* learning: find a good shell script tutorial and read the whole thing
* article: revise and send off 'seeds' article for Witchvox
I know I'm missing things, too...
Why do I set all these tasks for myself JUST WHEN I'VE GOT A JOB?
Afore y'all get too excited: It's a temp job. But possibly temp-to-hire, so. I'm hopin.
Edit:
* do herbal stuff for a baby-shower-oid thing for someone non-LJ-enabled (at least not to my knowledge)
