- Lunch we had paella
- Left after lunch
- Yesterday couldn't get DDO to start on my MBP's internal monitor. After login and choosing a server the app goes away (normal), then starts Wine (normal), but Wine immediately quits. Maybe if I make my DDO window smaller?

- I think got it. If MBP power usage is too high it uses cable power and doesn't charge the battery even if you have extra cable power. If I have my MBP connected to the USB hub those devices are drawing a bit of power so the charge goes down. If my MBP is disconnected then only the screen uses power which is quite low and if I turn the screen off it uses almost no power so I can keep Handbrake running with cable power indefinitely.
- Car wouldn't start even with emergency on. I'll try again tomorrow.

- GURPS Prime Directive 2020 (print) on sale for $45 ($5 off) but shipping is $15 so not worth it. There are other ADB products on 10% off sale which is not great unless you buy several to offset shipping.

- On my Mac when you update a Safari extension it often wants me to quit Safari. Discovered that if I disable the extension I can then update it and finally re-enable the extension.

- Received my exit Xfinity bill of $34 credit. I'm guessing they'll eventually have to mail me a check after a year. This happened to me before and eventually the company mailed me a check and I kind of assumed they had to for legal reasons rather than just keep my bit of money forever.

- I added my Sharpe books to my collections page and noticed that there is a new Sharpe novel due out Dec 07. Sharpe's Assassin will be the first new novel in 15 years.
