Sat Apr 29 2023

Sleep 0700 to 1600. (9 hours)

  • Up late watching Anna Cramlings WCC watch party, though I couldn't quite make it to the end of the game.
  • Guess the Ooma wasn't dead. A few days unplugged and also unplugging/replugging in the Ethernet cable seems to have fixed it. Probably it was the latter though fairly sure I had checked the Ethernet cable before (and it has a connection light which I didn't check before). I can listen to my voice mail so must be working fine.
  • Also forgot that the Ooma has an RJ-11 jack for a regular phone. Should have my cheap phone connected to that so that I can dial from home when I need to (instead of dialing from the Sonic phone number which no other business knows about).
  • Used the COVID-19 test and it gave a negative result so I'm probably fine.
  • Noticed I can now watch full replays of the free MLS games and that's nice.

Sleep 0730 to 1200. (4-1/2 hours)

  • Ding Liren wins WCC in the last rapid tie-breaker (would have gone to blitz after that). Pretty exciting commentary on that last game from Anna and her mom GM Pia Cramling.
  • Huh, for my old podcast pages (made on iWeb) Safari doesn't display the audio. Firefox does so you can play the audio from the web page.
  • Oh, it's done as a JavaScript and Safari says my web page is not allowed to run insecure content from me.com (guess a dependent script is there). I think it's because my page is https and the me.com script is http. I could probably set an http header to allow it. Do I care enough to fix?
  • Actually I kind of remember fixing the http-content-from-https-page was basically not possible to do without kind of breaking the security model. I guess best fix would be to host the script on my site and change all the links (fairly easy to do with BBEdit).
  • Warriors beat the Kings to win the series 4-3. Kings had a good season and did better than I expected against the Warriors.

Sleep 0130 to 1245. (11-1/4 hours)

  • Actually the script is http://www.me.com/1/up/comments/scripts/search.js which no longer exists. So that can't be the problem.

Tue May 02 2023

Sleep 1230 to 1630. (4 hours)

  • Couldn't get to sleep so stayed up until I could go to KFC for takeout.
  • Connecting my Mac mini to my 27" monitor worked. Finished setting up macOS Monterey. Headless mode with Remote Desktop works. My initial mistake was turning on FileVault because that requires a password before the disk is unlocked so Apple Remote Desktop won't have a chance to run beforehand.
  • Christopher and I went to see John Wick 4. Was pretty good although pretty much more of the same as previous movies.

Wed May 03 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1030. (8 hours)

  • Got a notification from UptimeRobot. Oops, I need to enable "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off" on the server.
  • Dinner and board game at C3s.
  • Turns out I totally forgot I had a bunch of boxes at Steph's place until she reminded me tonight. Lots of stuff that I had written off as somehow lost during my move. Exciting! Also, not sure where I'll put them. Have to get serious about getting rid/selling the stuff I don't really want to keep.

Thu May 04 2023

Sleep 0200 to 1000. (8 hours)

  • DDO with my brother: we did the first four of Shadow Over Wheloon arc. We're now level 27 and getting close to reincarnation time.

Fri May 05 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1230. (10 hours)

  • Anime Network free week on Xfinity. Watched Akiba Maid War (2022), Fragtime (2019), and Luminous Witches (2022).
