Diary - Nov 11 to Nov 17 2023

Sat Nov 11 2023

Sleep 0515 to 1045 (5-1/2 hours)

  • Oh, there’s an account setting to use legacy DriveThruRPG UI. I’ve been using the new interface for a few weeks and not thrilled with it. Let me enjoy the classic UI while it’s still available.

Sun Nov 12 3034

Sleep 0400 to 1215 (8-1/4 hours)

  • Cold Stone with C3. Then dinner at C3’s place. We had delivery from Jack’s Prime. I had the Whiskey Town which was unexpectedly a bit sweet.

Mon Nov 13 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1130 (9 hours)

  • Passed smog check. Trader Joe’s for juice.
  • Back to coffee because I realized my milk is going to spoil. So it was no coffee for six days and the first two days had withdrawal headaches.

Tue Nov 14 2023

Sleep 0730 to 1300 (5-1/2 hours)

  • So I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. Drank one cup of coffee yesterday which I finished about 1800. Today one cup of coffee finished by 1400.
  • Saw The Marvels with my brother. Pretty good and 90 minutes to boot, basically cutting out the hour that would have been used for origin stories for Ms Marvel (who had her own 6-episode series) and Monica Rambeau (who got her powers in WandaVision). I liked the gonzo-ness of Aladna where the people only speak and understand songs (their leader can talk normal because he’s bilingual).

Wed Nov 15 2023

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

  • Whisky, a UI to use WINE + Apple Game Porting Toolkit to run Windows games on Mx Macs.
  • Drove to dentist for cleaning and checkup.

Thu Nov 16 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1130 (9 hours)

  • Drobo shut off by itself. Power button didn’t work. Unplug/replug power adapter then I was able to start it. Might be the beginning of it failing. I bought it Feb 2018 so it’s 7-1/2 years old and for the most part constantly on fan running a lot of the time (it does go to sleep with inactivity though you pop up an Open or Save dialog box and macOS will wake up Drobo).
  • Now DTRPG won’t show me legacy UI. Sadge again.

Fri Nov 17 2023

Sleep 0715 to 1345 (6-1/2 hours)

  • Got DTRPG to use classic UI again by toggling option in account settings. Probably won’t stick when I come back tomorrow because it doesn’t seem to remember login status so will default to what new users see.
