Sleep 0600 to 1400. (8 hours)

• Hmm. I think my company locked me out of the "work" laptop. Good thing I didn't install the management software on my main laptop. Or I forgot my password. Seems unlikely they'd lock me out if I then can't access the network to look for internal job postings.
• After head mod stripped Founder's badge from people who never show up in the channel I now have a Founder's badge in Nemo's channel. I remember she ended stream then I went to take a nap then she started stream to announce she was an affiliate. The alert woke me up and I logged in and subbed but still more than 25 other people had subbed first. But at least I wasn't that far behind.

Sleep 0500 to 1130. 30 min nap. (7 hours)

• NOC BBQ. About a dozen people showed up.
• Watched Apple TV+ Luck with C3.
• Received AirPods Max. A bit tight but not as bad as my Beats Pro (wired).

• Spent six hours doing DDO The Black Loch on Reaper 10.

Sleep 0600 to 1230. (6-1/2 hours)

• Still goofing off. Spent five hours doing DDO Partycrashers on Reaper 10.
• Starting to clean my condo a bit. There's stuff on the countertops that's been there since I moved in thinking I'll get around to filing them. Also need to vacuum.

Sleep 0430 to 1030. (6 hours)

• Listening to The Talk Show and they're talking about M1/M2 Macs using the SSD for swap. I feel uncertain about using an SSD for swap space since they're not rated for a huge amount of read/writes in their lifetime.
• Then again my MBP has an SSD but also 64 GB RAM so I hope it doesn't swap that much. From my experience 64 GB is way overkill and 32 GB would have been fine.
• A bigger problem is my MBP has a graphics card with 8 GB RAM which was the most back then but so many things want to use GPU processing (e.g. Chrome and Firefox are the biggest culprits). And I have three screens on so that uses a bunch of video RAM. I wonder if performance would be better if I went down to two screens (you can really feel everything start lagging at times).

Sleep 0830 to 1230. 1 hour nap. (5 hours)

• Couldn't sleep so tried DDO The Tide Turns R10 and finally got a good start but was a bit tired and messed up the middle game.

Sleep 0300 to 1230. (9-1/2 hours)

• Epic Games Store captures Page Down key to scroll their Games On Sale list. Annoying. Used StopTheMadness to protect all key presses on this web site which is a bit nuclear but it does fix that UI issue.
• Two-hour long special HOA meeting. We finally approved bid to redo patio waterproofing; the hangup was what to do with the three big planters (solid stone and built into the patio). We decided to remove them which is the most expensive (waterproof them was other option).
