Sat Jun 10 2023

Sleep 0700 to 1330. (6-1/2 hours)

  • DDO Hardcore: Adventuring character died so I'm back to using the primary for now. Started another adventuring character but it'll take a while to level her up.

Sleep 0630 to 1230. (6 hours)


Mon Jun 12 2023

Sleep 0000 to 0345. 45 min nap. (4-1/2 hours)


Tue Jun 13 2023

Sleep 0200 to 1130 (9-1/2 hours)

  • I've had my AirPods Max back for 10 days now. Using it every day. Works fine so far. The bar is so low...

Wed Jun 14 2023

Sleep 0200 to 1030. (8-1/2 hours)

  • DDO Underdark Patron's Coffers offer. Cosmetics + 20 character bank (1 character) + 30 shared bank for 8000 DDO points (about $40). Interesting in that it's not just cosmetics and yet the cosmetics means they can sell it for a lot more than the bank worth (600 for 20 character and 1000 for 10 shared = 3600 DDO points worth).

Thu Jun 15 2023
Sleep 0245 to 1100. (8-1/2 hours)

  • ViDL hasn't worked for a while now though I haven't needed it since I have another downloader app. What it does great though is that if you require a login you can show a web browser and login then it'll use those cookies to maintain login, and that's great for Twitch VODs when they're restricted to subscribers.
  • Anyways it doesn't work and log has "env: python: No such file or directory". I installed python3 via brew and added a link for python. Works fine from my Terminal but still not from ViDL so the environment is not set up correctly there (might be looking in /bin or similar but macOS now restricts those directories from user modification -- everything goes to /usr/local/bin which is in the default $PATH for users but maybe not for how ViDL executes youtube-dl call.
  • For now I give up.

Fri Jun 16 2023
Sleep 1730 to 2000. (2-1/2 hours)

  • Drove to Walnut Creek Toyota and got my car serviced. Couldn't sleep last night so stayed up. Got there at 0930 and got out 1630 then drove home arrived 1730 and finally too a nap.
