Diary - Feb 19 to Feb 25 2022

Sat Feb 19 2022

Sleep 0415 to 1345 (9-1/2 hours)

  • Was hoping with latest CrossOver I can get Ronin (Steam) to work but nope. Oh and I guess I was running it on my Mac mini before.

Sun Feb 20 2022

Sleep 0545 to 1200. (6-1/4 hours)


Mon Feb 21 2022

Sleep 0445 to 1245. (8 hours)

  • Every time I go to CW3's place to move a delivered package inside I forget their keys. Good thing it's a 5-minute drive.
  • Got KFC. Now the inside is open for pickups which is a bit less convenient than going through the drive-thru.

Tue Feb 22 2022

Sleep 0130 to 0330, 0530 to 1030. (7 hours)

  • Tried installing Lost Ark on CrossOver. It installs Easy Anti-Cheat which then fails to run because anti-cheating software wants more than just Windows API access. I guess this would mean other competitive games like Fortnite and Valorant won't run on CrossOver. And it might also mean they won't work on VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
  • After 10 years The Better Rivals Podcast (about the 49ers) ended. Sounds like the two hosts, best friends and fairly new fathers, got burned out doing this pretty much every week.

Wed Feb 23 2022

Sleep 0400 to 1200. (8 hours)

  • My HP LaserJet 1012 is so old it can't handle a stack of paper. If I feed one page at a time it seems to work. Otherwise it prints one page then the second page gets stuck (and it does a second page even if I print a one-page document). Also it doesn't really work with current macOS so I use my web server which runs 10.13 High Sierra.
  • The new-ish KFC beverage bucket is kind of brilliant. It's a very distinct KFC branding. Instead of giving you a 2L bottle of soda they can fill it up from the soda fountain (syrup + local water). You do get about 10% more soda (it's a half-gallon bag).

Thu Feb 24 2022

Sleep 0500 to 1245. (7-3/4 hours)

  • Still annoying that on iOS the most recent app in the dock is also used for most recent app for handoff. I often go from my Mac to my iPad and want to switch to the recent app and then it's replaced by the handoff app and I start it accidentally.

Fri Feb 25 2022

Sleep 0530 to 0930. 1630 to 1930. (7 hours)

  • Russia invaded Ukraine yesterday. I wonder if that will accelerate countries joining NATO.
