  • Took a week to go through my iCloud passwords that iOS flagged and updated password, deleted it cause account/service no longer exists, or marked as ok (mostly if account is shared on multiple web site addresses). Lesson is to always use unique passwords so you worry less if a site is compromised (and you never know when an old HD full of passwords is unearthed).

Tue Jan 17 2023

Sleep 0500 to 1230. 1 hour nap. (8-1/2 hours)

  • M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBookPros announced today. In 3-1/2 years (hopefully) when I replace my current MBP (the last generation of Intel MBPs) I'll be able to get a mid-ranged MBP (was thinking low end but actually would like 16 GB RAM) and it'll be so much faster than my current MBP.
  • Wrote up my COBRA appeal letter. Mailing it tonight.
  • Groceries from Trader Joe's.
  • Working a bit on fixing my GORF Podcast rss so it works with Podcasts app. On Apple's help site there is an RSS Feed Sample which references to validators, Podbase How's My Feed and Cast Feed Validator. They each test slightly differently so best to use both.

Wed Jan 18 2023

Sleep 0450 to 1320. (8-1/2 hours)

  • EDD (CA Employment Development Department) defaults to payments to an EDD debit card (administered by Bank of America). Seems limiting unless I buy a lot of groceries and gasoline. You can return a form to request payment by check, which I will do so. Guess no option for ACH or direct deposit.
