Diary - Jul 03 to Jul 09 2021

Sat Jul 03 2021

Sleep 0430 to 1230. (8 hours)

  • Safeway for a few groceries.

Sun Jul 04 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1330. (8 hours)

  • Relaxing 4th of July holiday.

Mon Jul 05 2021

Sleep 0330 to 0830. 1300 to 1500. (7 hours)

  • Finally upgraded to macOS 11 Big Sur since the next version will be released soon.
  • I'm going to try using VMWare Fusion for VPN to work, plus a web browser and VNC. If performance is good enough I hope this solves the problem of having to go through VPN for everything when I'm also working. If performance is not great then I wasted money on an Intel MBP with 64 GB RAM and 8 GB video RAM.
  • The Hit List: can't click to switch tabs in Big Sur. A bit inconvenient for my work flow.

Tue Jul 06 2021

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

  • Ok, the VMWare experiment lasted a day. macOS is way too heavy to run in VM with any performance. I might try again by stripping down the OS or using an older OS.

Wed Jul 07 2021

Sleep 0030 to 0330. 1000 to 1300. 1900 to 2000. (7 hours)

  • In Apple Notes tables you can reorder rows and columns by dragging, similar to Numbers. Cool.

Thu Jul 08 2021

Sleep 0445 to 1115. (6-1/2 hours)

  • I thought it was Wednesday. Darn holiday throwing my week off. I'd rather a holiday on Friday than Monday.

Fri Jul 09 2021

Sleep 0130 to 1030. (9 hours)
