Diary - Jan 30 to Feb 05 2021

Sat Jan 30 2021

Sleep 0500 to 1200.

  • Printing from macOS Catalina 10.15.7 to my HP LaserJet 1012 stopped working. Didn't find any solutions online. Workaround is to transfer files to my Mac mini server and print from there.

Sun Jan 31 2021

Sleep 0400 to 1200. (8 hours)

  • DDO Epic Destiny Feat: Pierce Cold Iron is nice since some monsters have DR/Cold Iron and Good. You can't get Cold Iron + ammunition but you can get Holy +5 arrows and bolts. There is also Pierce Silver which is good for much the same reason.

Mon Feb 01 2021

Sleep 0400 to 1200. 1 hour nap. (9 hours)

  • Started using Apple Health to track my daily calorie intake. Sometimes I enter a number that's so high it asks me "are you sure?". I feel my iPhone is being judgmental.

Sleep ???

  • I looked up UC tuition costs and found this page: https://admissions.berkeley.edu/cost
  • I think my tuition was about $5k per year and another $10k for room and board. So a bit less than half of today's $40k per year estimated total costs for in-state. Still, $14k per year tuition is not that bad and I remember students protesting about tuition raises.

Wed Feb 02 2021

Sleep 0315 to 0730. 0930 to 1300. (7-3/4 hours)

  • Was looking for an alternative to ViDL but although there are several UI clients to youtube-dl and some have macOS versions none of them support 2-factor login. At best they support user/pass login.

Thu Feb 04 2021

Sleep 0115 to 0715. 1000 to 1200. (8 hours)

  • Made £105 donation via PayPal. If PayPal handles conversion it's $149.64 and if I use my Amazon Visa to do it (which doesn't charge conversion fees) it's $143.70. PayPal would have charged 4.13% conversion fee.

Fri Feb 05 2021

Sleep 0300 to 1200. (9 hours)

  • Looks like I can watch the Super Bowl on CBS Sports app or NFL app. https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/02/05/how-to-watch-the-super-bowl-on-your-apple-tv
