Ever have a Sunday where you are trying very hard to find a reason to look forward to the week? I think for me its a combination of the weather (Santa Ana winds suck), how busy I am, and that I’ve been sick for three weeks (getting better).
So here’s my list of things that will make me want to get up in the morning:
- Leopard being released - I’ve been running it for a while, and am looking forward to the GM release and converting our department over (including the MacMini server for shared calendaring)
- Possibly going to NYC on Thursday and Friday - obvious, because I love New York
- Being better - I’ve had a flu/cold thing for a few weeks and its finally going away
- Making headway on a big project - its a consolidation of user data tool for Drupal. I started it today
- Getting to QA state on some new sites
- Posting another job (details soon!)
- Moving offices - to a bigger one, with a dedicated “tech room”
I don’t like this time of year at all, so I have a feeling these “Sunday lists” will become necessary all through January.

Re Santa Ana winds:
“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husband’s necks. Anything can happen.” — from “Red Wind” by Raymond Chandler

We’re struggling with this in our (scattered) place. iCal, Google, some syncing glue?
