Sleep 0230 to 0930. (7 hours)

• Was trying to come up with a joke for the name soccer: Soccer is from the Old English "socc hēr" because the game had to be played wearing socks. And I researched the Old English words but it's too close to "sock her". Middle English would be "socke here" but less cool as a joke.

Sleep 0500 to 1200. (7 hours)

• Throwing away some old Apple product boxes. My iPhone SE (1st gen) box still has its original Air buds. Score! Nicer than using my on-ear headphones though no noise cancellation.
• Was thinking of buying undergarments for Cyber Monday but too many choices. I'll probably stick with Hanes but currently not on sale so I can wait.

• BlackHole - a virtual audio device extension (free though you have to subscribe to their newsletter). There is a small wiki manual. Seems to be like Soundflower: adds a 2-, 16- or 64-channel device with ins and outs so it can be used as an output device or input device. Use macOS Audio MIDI Setup to then create an aggregate device and the aggregate can be used as a sound source.
• Nice intro article How to get started with OBS Studio in macOS.
• Christopher called relaying that Auntie Mien died yesterday. She was one of mom's childhood friends and had been living nearby for decades so a regular guest at our parents.

• Looking at the Java version history, when I started at my last company we used Java 1.2 (or Java 2 if you extend current version numbering backwards). Then when I came back after the break and we started Fusion it was Java 6 and we eventually jumped to Java 8 (probably not in 2014, maybe a couple of years later) and I think our applications still ran on Java 8 when I left.

• Hexcrawl Toolbox kickstarter. I'm kind of ambivalent about generic accessories but this looks way cool. 150 double-sided hexes (terrain on one side, terrain + feature on the other) with a cloth bag and a nice box. I'll probably buy the two previous products too since they're compatible hexes.
• Today I applied for a Chess.com Senior Java Engineer position. There are five essay type questions to fill out as well as sending a résumé so it took a few hours.

Sleep 0100 to 0800. (7 hours)

• Dentist. Got a crown (back bottom right molar) and a filling in the same area. 2-3/4 hours and a bit worse because it's one of the least accessible tooths.
• Received Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones. Kind of horrible. Not actually over-ear unless you have really small ears and actually these are made for a smaller head than mine and I don't think I have a big head. Will try to return them.
• I didn't eat most of the day because it hurt when I tried to chew. Turns out there was some dental wad or something stuck under my tongue.

Sleep 0200 to 1245. (10-3/4 hours)

• Modiphius losing their Conan RPG license Dec 31, though they can sell remaining stocks through Jun 30 2023 (not sure about PDFs). Soon it'll be time to buy their PDFs at a hopeful discount.
• Actually I already have almost everything from some previous bundle or sale. Guess they haven't published much lately. DTRPG Conan by Crom! bundle says I only have $20 unowned product. The Crom bundle doesn't have everything so hopefully they'll add those extras before end of year.
