Sat May 08 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1100. 45 min nap. (6-1/4 hours)

  • Marcyl gave me an HOA building tour. Got to see the third floor (just a bit) and the roof.

Sun May 09 2021

Sleep 0730 to 1300. (5-1/2 hours)

  • Oops, three times a week I put my MBPs on battery power and drain them to 40% so that they're not constantly charged at 100% I just realized that when I do that with my new MBP it can't power the USB bus so all my connected usb devices get dropped. Was wondering why when I did that my Drobo kept unmounting.

  • San Mateo County is moving to Tier 4 (Yellow), the least restrictive tier.
  • Mask guidance now matches state guidelines: Indoors (except your home) = wear mask; Outdoors, vaccinated = masks in crowded places (e.g. concerts, parades); Outdoors, not vaccinated = masks when you can't maintain social distancing (which also included crowded places).
