Diary - Oct 28 to Nov 03 2023

Sat Oct 28 2023

Sleep 0430 to 1000 (5-1/2 hours)

  • D&D session 5. Dave S can finally make gaming again and he created a fighter with STR 18. We did one fight vs the bandits and the bandits were wiped out except for the leader who surrendered and may become a recurring villain.
  • Dinner at Ramen Parlor. I had the Crab Spicy Miso Ramen (medium spicy) which was really good.

Sun Oct 29 2023

Sleep 0330 to 0930, 1315 to 1415 (7 hours)

  • Writing up a cover letter for this year’s operating budget mailing.

Mon Oct 30 2023

Sleep 0300 to 1200 (9 hours)

  • 49ers lost yesterday and are now 5-3 (three consecutive losses). Media and Internet are like “sky is falling!”. So much overreaction after each win and loss.

Tue Oct 31 2023

Sleep 0330 to 1230 (9 hours)

  • Although price increases went up a week ago I just got an email today informing me that Apple One price increase goes into effect Dec 01 (when my subscription renews). Kind of was expecting it to go up tomorrow but I guess they have to give adequate notice.

Wed Nov 01 2023

Sleep 0400 to 1300 (9 hours)

  • Now that’s it getting to Winter when I wake up and it’s not sunny I still want to sleep a bit longer.

Thu Nov 02 2023

Sleep 0800 to 1500 (7 hours)

  • macOS Sonoma Safari allows you to create apps from web sites. I’m going to try that for Discord since the “native”, but really Electron, app is surprisingly resource intensive at times.
  • Email from Mr Cooper that they had a cyber security incident two days ago. Their systems are offline while they investigate. Admirable that they disclosed this quickly as most companies seem to keep silent for months, if they ever mention it at all.

Fri Nov 03 2023

Sleep 0045 to 0315, 1145 to 1445 (5-1/2 hours)

  • After Music Library Syncing the Music app Artist view is a bit of a mess because I have lots and lots of singles so lots and lots of artists with like one to three songs. When I listen to music I usually go to an artist then choose and album and listen to the album so this is not ideal (singles I change the album artist, album, compilation flag so they all sort to one big album).
  • Also it resurrected a bunch of songs and videos I had deleted from my library. Again, not ideal.
