Retirement Projects

 I've now retired from active customer work (on 30th March), but still have a fair few techie projects on the go, so I thought I would document them here.

General tidying up:

  • Using Google Calendar as my day to day diary
  • Regaining access to Teams
  • Moving my cloud storage from Dropbox to OneDrive
  • Digitising a lot of family photographs
  • Audio and video
  • Using Visual Studio and Azure DevOps properly
  • Cleaning up various horrible scripting mechanisms to use PowerShell
  • Automation of mySQL backups
  • Tidy up my cpanel hosting environment  (deletion of loads of ancient experiments, etc.)
  • Sort out non-mySQL backups for my hosting (I have never yet found a fully usable solution for this)

i-Community:

  • Transferring the website across to Meridian to look after

www.notamos.co.uk:

  • Updating Google Analytics usage to use their new offering

Genealogy:

  • Various proposals concerning research and data quality aids (a lot of thinking and discussion still needed here)
