Right … last year was an interesting one with trying to launch all the projects on the Options4ALL roadmap. I didn’t fail … but didn’t quite succeed either. Many people have absolutely no idea what it takes to pull it off! But as the late Steve Jobs once said:
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.
And indeed it does! However to still be able to launch everything I have in mind in this lifetime instead of the next I have to do things differently than all the other years I’ve been working on it. Hence why introducing this new monthly recurring posts, with everything I still have to do (better) and keeping tabs on all the changes.
My Projects progress: todo list / changelog
Disclaimer: what I show / share below is only a fraction of everything thats going on, but should give you a basic idea what goes on ‘behind the scenes’. Split into 3 sub categories.
High Priority
In the last week of 2017 a lot of companies and their cloud based tools / infrastructure / building blocks decided to upgrade their software which has caused severe problems for my own projects. For example: losing MySQL DB access for all WP sites due to a VestaCP update. And through some quick hacks (by enabling root access) its obviously working — as you’re eyeballing this — however its not what it used to and has to be! Even more so as I just found out I cannot add nor modify anything through the webserver control panels Sorted in order of priority.
- Re-install “Tesla” (Production server); the follow-up to the Aventador-server I touched upon in the screenshot at Options4ALL roadmap of 2017, but infinitely more powerful (scalable) … [2018-01-02]
- Upload B2B client projects to Tesla-server … [2018-01-04]
Migrate important WP projects — including this blog — to Tesla-server.- Re-install “Ferrari” | Project testing & management server (where this blog is running on to) … [2018-01-06]
- Re-instate WP central management backend … [2018-01-05]
- Reupload all testing projects … [2018-01-05]
- Re-install / migrate all B2B client projects … [2018-01-05]
The good news: it also presents an opportunity to do a lot of things that were planned for much later RIGHT NOW. The bad news: it all has to be done within hours what usually takes weeks. And severely messes with what I was hoping to do; like celebrating new year!!! Instead been coding and working 20 hours per day for the past couple of days.
Medium Priority
Due for release in Week number 2-3 of January 2018 (what was originally scheduled for last week of 2017).
