Tasks

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.

Task	Type	Status	Summary
PPU-1	Task	To Do	(Fake Task) Something I need to do with the PPU program.

Electronics

This section is for PCB work. Tracking the design and planning of the circuit boards that make up the system.

Task	Type	Status	Summary
PCB-1	Task	To Do	(Fake Task) Something I need to do with the mainboard.

Modelling

This is for 3D Modelling work such as designing the plastic parts that make up the enclosure for NerdConsole and its cartridges.

Task	Type	Status	Summary
CAD-1	Task	To Do	(Fake Task) Something I need to do to make the enclosure.

Documentation

Here I track my plans and progress for the NerdConsole book I'm writing. A place to go to get all your specifications in one place and hopefully a source of revenue for the project.

Task	Type	Status	Summary
DOC-1	Task	To Do	(Fake Task) Something I need to do to with the book.

Key

A reference for all useful bits of information.

Projects

These are the prefixes for the task codes.

Project	Description
PPU	Development work for the PPU program that runs on a Raspberry Pi in NerdConsole.
PCB	Electrical engineering work on the various PCBs that are part of NerdConsole.
CAD	3D Modelling work for designing printable parts for NerdConsole.
DOC	Documentation work on the NerdConsole specifications book.

Types

Type	Description
Task	Something I need to do to.
Bug	Something that was discovered to be working wrong and needs fixing.

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.
