Sun Oct 01 2023

Sleep 0230 to 0930. 90 min nap. (8-1/2 hours)

Mon Oct 02 2023

Sleep 0400 to 1130. (7-1/2 hours)

  • Cleaning up my VMWare Fusion VMs. Decided to make a VM for each macOS version.
    • 10.7 is the oldest install you can download via Mist, which uses Apple servers.
    • There is no 10.9 install so couldn’t do that one.
    • 10.10 running latest security update kills kb/mouse input.
    • 10.11 install kills kb/mouse input so I had to skip it.
    • 14.0 not yet supported as a guest OS.

  • C3 and Steph have been at Legoland (San Diego) since Friday. This noon looks like they're at the airport waiting for the flight back to the Bay Area.

Sleep 0330 to 1230. (9 hours)

  • Checking to see macOS 14.0 Sonoma compatibility.
    • CrossOver needs v23.5 released a week ago.
    • VMWare Fusion 13.0.2 should work fine.
    • No longer have to worry about Cisco VPN client which always seemed to take Cisco months to update.

Thu Oct 05 2023

Sleep 0515 to 1130. (6-1/4 hours)

  • Budget Committee meeting.
  • Upgraded to macOS 14.0 Sonoma because I want to try the Reminders feature where you can drag a reminder between columns/sections of a list which graphically groups reminders.

Fri Oct 06 2023

Sleep 1245 to 1545. 1-/2 hour nap (4-1/2 hours)

  • Yes! TV.app on macOS 14.0 Sonoma has a Show Sports Score toggle. Unfortunately you can’t increase playback speed so not quite there yet.
  • Sonoma Dock folder now bounces if a file is saved which is quite annoying with applications that auto-save (e.g. I have the Numbers folder in the Dock so when I’m working on a spreadsheet Numbers is auto-saving every minute or whatever so the Dock icon is constantly bouncing).
