Sat Jun 27 2020

Sleep 08:00 to 14:00.

  • Toasttab, which Zachary's uses, actually calculates tip percentage correctly based on order total without tax. Most other apps don't do that which I think is a bit deceptive.

Sun Jun 28 2020

Sleep 08:30 to 14:30.

  • Set up my new MBP 2020 as my main computer. Installing apps as I need them.
  • Crimped my Drobo USB C to A cable head which caused the Drobo volume to disconnect mid-write and get corrupted. Luckily DiskWarrior 5 saved the day. I should buy a USB C to C cable for faster speed.
  • Noticed my Drobo volume is Mac OS Extended, not Journaled (and Journaled might have prevented the above disaster). It's going to be a lot of trouble to reformat to Journaled since I have to move all 34TB of data off first.

Mon Jun 29 2020

Sleep 01:00 to 05:30. 1 hour nap.

  • Copied com.apple.Mail.plist and ~/Library/Mail folder to MBP 2020. On Mail startup no errors but did not show On My Mac folders. I had to do File > Import Mailboxes and that seems to have worked. It does copy all the mail to a new folder so remember to delete the old folder to save space (I have like 15 GB of mail).
  • Fiddler (a tool that acts as a web proxy so you can log http requests and responses) and Cisco VPN (which wants to proxy everything through a specific channel don't interact well. If Fiddler is running and capturing I can't establish a VPN connection.
  • Oracle College Recruiting assigned me as a buddy to a new hire. Guess I should have been paying more attention to those emails. Did someone sign me up for this?

Tue Jun 30 2020

Sleep 04:00 to 09:30. 12:30 to 14:30.

  • Not as much work done as I'd like.

Wed Jul 01 2020

Sleep 04:00 to 10:30.


Thu Jul 02 2020

Sleep 04:30 to 13:30.

  • Lots of sleep and then sluggish today. Got no work done. Make it up tomorrow?

Fri Jul 03 2020

Sleep 05:00 to 15:00.

  • Two nights of lots of sleep may be too much.
  • Still no work done. There's always Saturday.
