Learning Programing: Scheduling

Yesterday while I was in the fitness center exercising, I was looking at this show that they had on called celebrity wife swap. One of the couples on the show had a well-defined schedule that listed things to do throughout the day on the refrigerator. It made me think about how I should somewhat incorporate how this couple created a schedule of the times they do things. In this case, I definitely wanted to use the way they handle their schedule with how I want to learn C#. So today, I hope that I sit down and write out a C# schedule for learning and display my schedule on my wall possibly in my bedroom.
Working a bug from Bugzilla Gnome
There are at least four or five bugs that have been assigned to me to attempt to work on.  One of the bugs that I am working on from tomboy notes will be about CLI Interface to start sync. 
CLI interface to start sync
Here is the issue
  • ·        A lot of notes are written at home
  • ·         Attempting to access Tomboy Notes from work
  • ·         Use ssh into homebox and read through xml files into text-editor
Recommendations
  • ·         Command-line interface to initiate the sync.
  • ·         Then I can ssh to home, run the sync command from the shell, and then have everything in sync.
  • ·         Initiate sync from a shell script.
  • ·         Sync a backup of my notes to a remote server and the script already sets up everything (encFS etc) but I still have to initiate the sync manually.
Notes
Since I am new to understanding C# and its language, I have to research what this means. For starters,  I will research the following:
  • ·         What is CLI?
  • ·         What is ssh?
  • ·         How to sync from a shell script?


    With that in mind, I will perform research on such questions tomorrow and continue to read my C# book tomorrow.

Tomboy Notes Projects: Getting Started

 
One of the projects that I have been working on and off for a probably about a year is Tomboy Notes. I really wanted to grasp the understanding of this project as it encompasses C# in which I am learning.  I decided to make sure that this time I stay on track as I started the month of August off with understanding Tomboy Notes.
Tomboy Notes can be found through Gnome at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy. From this page, I read about Tomboy Notes and decided to join their mailing list, IRC client some time ago.  Also, I downloaded Tomboy Notes on my laptop and also downloaded Tomdroid on my cellphone. Right now, I would like to stick with working with Tomboy Notes for now. 
 
After downloading the application, I took the opportunity to educate myself on how to use Tomboy Notes and found some interesting features/plugins I can use which is found at their site:https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy/PluginList is exporting to html. On this site, I hope to try some of these other plugins
