- Apparently The Levelator was updated to 64-bit app and released on the Mac App Store. Hard to tell if this is the original company (which seems tobe defunct) or someone using the source code to compile and publish it.
- B&B #5. A short noisy session but not too bad.
- Music no longer has conversion settings. You can only convert to AAC and I'm not sure if it picks settings dynamically or will always do 256 kbps (VBR) at Stereo 44.1 kHz sample rate. It does make for files about 4x larger than before (1:25 hours is 171 MB) though I guess with larger disk space and faster Internet it doesn't matter as much.

- 49ers beat Cowboys in Dallas. Next up is Packers.
- I forgot to mention this before but The Peanut Shop holiday gift pack turned out to be quite expensive. Like pay x1.5 for about 1/3rd of the peanuts except nice holiday packaging and you get three types instead of two.

- Sonic has been down since at least 1000 when they sent an sms. Then an hour to get a tech to check central office (30 min). But problem wasn't there so a tech will be by tomorrow morning. Perhaps not as many fields techs as Comcast, though it is a holiday so most likely less field techs available.

- It's annoying how janky Bluetooth gets on my MBP sometimes. I'm thinking it's worse when WiFi connection is poor (and especially since I'm connecting via my iPhone hot spot).
- Sonic interruption. What happened is we were having a dead tree removed and one of the branches fell off and hit the Sonic cable, disconnecting it. So not Sonic's fault and I feel better about that.

- Whenever I restart Handbrake it doesn't remember the last encoded settings then if I don't notice I'm encoding a bunch of stuff at 1080p instead of 540p. One clue is that conversion speed goes from about 150 fps to about 75 fps.

- Twitch implemented being able to mark users as monitored or restricted. Monitored means all their messages will be highlighted for mods. Restricted also doesn't forward their message to other viewers. But if they're restricted they see that so it's not a shadow ban which is what I think most mods want.

- I've been cheating a lot on my calorie counter app by stopping when I the limit then trying to make it up in the future. So now I have to catch up and start adding my old eats (I was keeping track) so CARROT Hunger is getting angry at me.
