Diary - Jul 06 to Jul 12 2024

Sat Jul 06 2024

Sleep 0145 to 0300, two 30m naps (2-1/4 hours)

  • Car pool to mom and dad's.
  • We went to Mattress Firm and helped Mom buy a new twin bed (with box and frame) and queen bed. $1209 with delivery and installation.
  • Had trouble playing Borderlands 3 from here. Lots of connection issues, and later lag issues, even using hotspots. Guess the game requires too much communication compared to DDO which runs fine.

Sun Jul 07 2024

Sleep 0030 to 0930, 30m nap, 1h nap (10-1/2 hours)

  • Second day at parents' and another hot day. Keeping a house cool means air conditioned and dry air, but we didn't keep it that cool so it was kind of warm in the house and I was lethargic.
  • We went to Joy City for dim sum. It's pretty good though they don't have carts -- you order a bunch of items and they bring it out to you as they are made.

Mon Jul 08 2024

Sleep 0130 to 0730, 2 hour nap (8 hours)

  • Woke up early so Buri Buri could check if my unit is the one that is leaking. They didn't find anything nor come back so I guess it's one of the other two units or they didn't find cause of leak.

Tue Jul 09 2024

Sleep 0630 to 1330 (7 hours)

  • Reorganized Notes app notes. On iPad it seemed to always go to All iCloud tab. For consistency with Mac I retitled second tier notes as , made first tier notes Pinned, then put all notes in one folder. On iPad it looks nice as it'll show Pinned notes at top in a distinct section and Notes notes in another section. On Mac the list doesn't have sections and Pinned notes are sorted first without any other indication they're Pinned notes (I think there's supposed to be a Pinned icon but not showing for me).

Wed Jul 10 2024

Sleep 0230 to 0530, 2 hour nap (5 hours)

  • Adorama had a 14-inch MBP 18 GB memory, 2 TB SSD, 96W power adapter with Apple Insider News discount plus tax came out to just over $2500. Tempted but Apple Insider News Adorama discount total always seems to be $50 or $100 low which I find a bit deceptive.
  • I have an Airport Time Capsule bought June 2016 and it's sometimes been flaky. Yesterday and today it dropped WiFi for a few minutes. Might be getting close to dying.

Thu Jul 11 2024

Sleep 2330 to 0900. (9-1/2 hours)

  • Adorama sends a lot of emails (did I forget my shopping cart? no, I emptied it; sales person: did I forget my shopping cart?; ad email which I had said no to when I signed up). Unfortunately their email preferences page doesn't load. I'll start marking them as spam in gmail.

Fri Jul 12 2024

Sleep 0500 to 1230 (7-1/2 hours)

  • Borderlands 3. More killing. Might be a bit too easy since Christopher has restart-scummed legendary items from the vending machines (i.e. restart game then check vending machines on Sanctuary, which can randomly have a legendary item on special sale).
