Diary - Oct 23 to Oct 29 2021

Sat Oct 23 2021

Sleep 0300 to 0800. 2 hour nap. (7 hours)

  • First hard rain of the year yesterday. A bit of flooding around the complex since we hadn't had the drains and gutters cleared yet.
  • After power outage still kept my Sonic DHCP address so at least it doesn't recycle quickly.

Sun Oct 24 2021

Sleep 0330 to 1030. (7 hours)

  • Power was out this morning and one thing we discover is that Sonic internet goes down. Xfinity has battery backups so Internet is still up during a power outage. Still, I can fall back to cellular in a pinch.
  • Sonic stopped working. Airport said connection green but couldn't reach Internet. Rebooting ONT fixed it and as long as I was at it I moved the power adapter to the UPS (I guess that's why it died this morning during the power outage :-).

Mon Oct 25 2021

Sleep 0330 to 1200. (8-1/2 hours)

  • After paying property taxes I'm down to an even $50k in checking and savings.

Tue Oct 26 2021

Sleep 0500 to 0830, 1000 to 1230. (6 hours)

  • Lying there on my bed trying to sleep and watched Apollo 13 again. I skip the beginning and start when the accident happens. I just want to watch that sequence and the initial response and then I get engrossed and watch to the end of the movie.
  • Grocery shopping at Safeway.

Wed Oct 27 2021

Sleep 0100 to 1000. (9 hours)

  • Our build system does i (incremental) and ni (non-incremental) builds. I'd have made it incremental and full builds, although maybe ni is not the same as a full build.

Thu Oct 28 2021

Sleep 0430 to 0830. 1130 to 1400. 1830 to 2300. (11 hours)

  • Internet got stuck. Router showed green but either couldn't reach DNS (1.1.1.1) or just couldn't get out. Had to reboot ONT.

Fri Oct 29 2021

  • Checked Strategy & Tactics subscriptions. I lost 14 issues from discontinued Modern War. Gained 6 issues of S&T. Gained 7 issues of WW2. Guess too much to hope they could do simple arithmetic. And it's a good thing I was keeping track of how many issues I was due since the Modern War info is now gone from my account.
