Diary - Apr 10 to Apr 16 2021

Sat Apr 10 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1330. (8 hours)

  • Grocery shopping after a couple of weeks...

Sun Apr 11 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1230. (7 hours)

  • Blue Planet: Recontact KS
  • Tried to install Steam version of Ronin (for Windows) on CrossOver and got it to start and go into intro screen. But gets stuck loading level and then quits. GOG version doesn't even show the intro screen.

Mon Apr 12 2021

Sleep 05:00 to 07:00. (7 hours)

  • I forgot about my Mac mini. Ronin runs fine there and even with Apple Remote Desktop (I think VNC protocol) it's fairly smooth animation (luckily this is turn-based combat so everything stops while you're planning your next move). And although ARD (and I think VNC) does not do audio the Mac mini is close enough that I can pair it with my Beats Studio 3 headphones.
  • So an ok solution. Drawbacks: can't play while using work VPN and can't listen to audio on my MBP and Mac mini at the same time.

Tue Apr 13 2021

Sleep 03:15 to 11:15. (8 hours)

  • Doing a customer support call. It's interesting how little information we want to give away. Just fix their problem and don't talk about related bugs or limitations if they haven't run into them. Then again, extraneous information is usually confusing for no good reason.

Wed Apr 14 2021

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • Christopher signed me up for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment at Bay Point (Contra Costa County).

Thu Apr 15 2021

Sleep 0200 to 0815. 1300 to 1600. (9-1/4 hours)

  • Dad's birthday. I remembered in the morning but thought it was too early. Then forgot until 2130 and gave him a call then.

Fri Apr 16 2021

Sleep 0500 to 1130. (6-1/2 hours)

  • Got KFC.
  • Was taking a day off but got stuck with an assignment.
