Welcome to the page I use for keeping track of things that I'm working on. As it turns out, finding good and free project management software is harder than I thought it would be. Thus, instead of keeping a spreadsheet somewhere, I decided to make this page.
Software
This section is for keeping track of software related work. Since the PPU is software based in NerdConsole, this is likely to be the largest section of the task list.

Statuses
| Status |
Description
|
| Planning |
Indicates that the task is brand new and has not been fleshed out enough yet to be useful.
|
| To Do |
Indicates that the task has not been started. Typically, new tasks will advance this status once they have been sufficiently planned.
|
| In Progress |
Indicates that the task is currently being worked on.
|
| Stalled |
Indicates that the task is stalled. This could mean I'm waiting for parts, motivation, dependent tasks to be wrapped up, or for planning to catch up.
|
| Done |
Indicates that the task is complete.
