Sleep 0200 to 0745, 30m nap (6-1/4 hours)

• Drive to San Mateo. Car pooled with CSr to DunDraCon.
• Lunch with Woos and CSr at Ming Tasty.
• Walked through dealer's room. Tempted to buy Mothership Deluxe box set. Maybe tomorrow.
• CJr played Monster Smash and we hung out in the Kid's Room for over an hour. I watched a 45m video on Netflix with Cellular bandwidth and it used like 100 MB data -- the video was like 240p so a bit pixelated even on my iPhone SE 3's small screen.
• Rainbow was ok. Dave S's setup with the 360-degree teleconference cam worked better than last year. Three people remote (Eric R from our gaming group, Rigo and Mark R from the NOC). Dave S, Dave W, Christoper, Dave's two college kids Riley and Dawson, Ken Hite. Corina was there for a drink. She didn't like the one she bought for herself so I drank it and it was good. Also had one of the blue drinks so two drinks this year. Dave P could not make it.

Sleep 0145 to 0845, 30m nap (7-1/2 hours)

• Breakfast at 1000 or so. I woke up before 0900 to participate in STFC territory control.
• Bought Mothership Deluxe Set from Games of Berkeley. There were three other copies (2 from Black Diamond Games, 1 from Gamescape) that I saw yesterday but sold out today.
• We played Run! (Dave S, Christopher Sr and Jr, myself) and Cora Quest.
• CSr took Jr to an art event so they were gone for a couple of hours. When they came back CSr and I left for San Mateo. From there I drove back to my parents.

Sleep 0145 to 0845 (7 hours)

• Took mom to therapy. She continues to improve. I saw her walk from the front door to Steph's bedroom and back, about 20 steps each way, without the walker and seemed fairly steady.
• Next week they'll try to climb a small step. Theoretically she can already climb up stairs while climbing down stairs will be harder.

Sleep 0100 to 0915 (8-1/4 hours)

• Got a notice for the class action settlement for "In re Capital One 360 Savings Account Interest Rate Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:24-md-03111-DJN (E.D. Va.)." So filled out my info again. Looking back I got the same notice (with different dates) back in Aug 2025 so I guess the settlement has been taking it's time (the judge has to approve so maybe they sent it back to the litigants last time).

Sleep 0130 to 0930 (8 hours)

• Playing around with Steam collections. The app only shows installed games even though other games are in collection. So what's the point of having collections where I can't tell what's in them?
• Oh wait. Collection view is using the filters from the browse column. That's unintuitive.
• No wait again. It only filter for installed games if you click the installed games filter on the browse column. No other filters affect collection view. Very unintuitive.

Sleep 0230 to 1030 (8 hours)

• Noticed that on my MBP server the logged in user's window server has crashed which kills all apps and Wiki.js is running from a terminal window so that shuts down too. UptimeRobot catches it so I can at least know about it then VPN in and when I get past the lock screen the window server restarts.

Sleep 0245 to 1015 (7-1/2 hours)

• Apple's Clock app Stopwatch feature often changes the current time when I switch out and back. I thought maybe because I use it on both Mac and iPhone and maybe it's trying to sync but if it is syncing it's not a fast sync like with other Apple apps. Timer and Clock functions work fine.
• I'll try Stopwatch(little circle, so it's a unique name) by Kai Oelfke. It's simple, free, and no ads, though it doesn't run on Mac so maybe I'll look for another app.
• For Mac I found Mini Stopwatch - Minimal Timer by Clement Rousseau (free, $8 for pro version). It's a simple stopwatch in the menu bar so very Mac appropriate.
• Server died again and this time both www2:3001 and later www2. VPNed in and can't reach my MBP. Guess we'll see Monday -- maybe machine shut down or restarted.
