Diary - May 23 to May 29 2026

Sat May 23 2026

Sleep 0330 to 1100 (7-1/2 hours)

  • BBEdit 16 released. I have BBEdit 14 so it's a $40 upgrade. $30 for BBEdit 15 and recent-ish BBEdit 16 owners. $60 regular price. I upgraded to 14 back in Jan 2022 so it's been a while but it still works fine for me.

Sun May 24 2026

Sleep 0500 to 1000 (5 hours)

  • DDO We started Illithid Invasion arc which we've never done. Pilgrims' Peril is an extreme challenge which tried at R5, R4, R3 and finally R1. That first battle is pretty tough. Stolen Power we did at R2 and that went well. That last fight reminded me of Resident Evil movie trying to avoid the lasers. Was expecting eventually it'd be a wall of green orbs you can't jump over or around.

Mon May 25 2026

Sleep 0745 to 1415 (6-1/2 hours)

  • Canadian Grand Prix. Franco Colapinto came in 6th and Oliver Bearman came in 10th (neither scored in the Sprint). So now it's Bearman with 18 points and Colapinto with 15. 33 points would be just after 5th in the Constructors' standings.

Tue May 26 2026

Sleep 0045 to 0945, 30m nap (9-1/2 hours)

  • At this point looks like my Intel MBP is non-usable. The internal HD is wiped. I can start from recovery but installing macOS 12 fails. I can't install on an external HD because security won't boot to an external unless you go into the Startup Security Utility but that requires a login from an account on the internal HD and there are no logins there now. I might get it to install on a different network so maybe I'll try my brother's place.

Wed May 27 2026

Sleep 0515 to 1230 (7-1/4 hours)

  • I'm still using the very old Banktivity 7 which is an Intel app and macOS will be removing support for Intel apps in a year or two. Banktivity is now a monthly subscription so it's time to look for a different checkbook app.

Thu May 28 2026

Sleep 0015 to 0730 (7-1/4 hours)

  • Had a car towed today. Was in a rental parking spot. Put a notice on it and gave them a couple of weeks.
  • ORCL hit $202+ today and there for several hours. Tempted to sell this year's allocation now.

Fri May 29 2026

Sleep 0230 to 1100 (8-1/2 hours)

  • DDO: CSr went to a movie. DW and I did The Newcomers (R3) and Black and Blue (R2). Both were quite doable.
