And then I spent the rest of the day in deep recovery and have spent a fair amount of time in Hogwarts Legacy starting back from the beginning, in Story Mode. Right now “the story” is more compelling and the tasks and challenges feel like they are leading somewhere. It has been fun!

Today was a day. The people came out a second time. The basement is drained and drying. It’s all over but the crying end cleaning. That was a grand I was hoping I was saving but I paid people who did a bunch of crappy work on our behalf. I’m grateful that issue is resolved for now.

The guy is here trying to drain my basement. I don’t spend time in mine, generally. It’s partially finished and mostly storage. Tonight I made the discovery of the water. Not fully flooded, but standing water in part, water had been higher at some point. Floor drain isn’t draining, etc.

The thing where I was expecting a delivery today, but actually the order I placed is scheduled to deliver in just 6 short days.

Once again, I have learned to never ever trust a tutorial for doing anything in Linux. The chances that you will be able to do what you intend to do right out of the gate are low, and inevitably you’ll need to refer to second, third and fourth sources. And maybe it works, maybe you start over.

I re-watched Truth or Dare this week. It came out at what I feel was most likely the zenith of her career, with her Immaculate Collection and her book Sex all in popular media at once. It was fun to see. I had forgotten there might have been any controversy around any of her performances since she has bee... 1-1.hjalmer.com

Not sure if I have an AppleTV issue or a playlist-too-big issue. When I pick a few of my larger dynamic lists, the Apple TV becomes unresponsive for several minutes. Not an issue on my iPhone 15 streaming the same lists, but my AppleTV model is circa 2017. Only seems to be an issue since tvOS 18.

Coffee. Coffee and Tylenol. Coffee, Tylenol and Nintendo. I need more coffee.

I opened my web browser on my work computer, and once more I have no idea what I was going to do next.

First time I’ve seen an Instax photo. About the size of a credit card. From a company event this morning. Apologies to Tim who has no idea he is on my timeline.

I experimented today. At the soda machine I picked Lime Coke Zero. Then I saw that also I could do Cherry Coke Zero. And I thought maybe they might be two great tastes that taste great together, like cherry lime-aid from Sonic. Short answer: No. Much too sweet and bland rather than tangy.

Apple Notes has good keyboard shortcuts. However, searching for notes to link isn’t consistent. I can’t use a space character in my search, and search results do not show everything that matches search terms. So that’s a challenge I’m having setting up the cross-linking needed for Forever✱Notes.

I am avoiding articles that include the phrase “Here’s what to expect…” because I expect a company to announce everything it is prepared to announce as soon as it is ready to do so. That is enough for me. I understand that they have advertisers to service, but I’m not participating.

I met the challenge. Even with a lid on the cup, I managed to pour coffee onto my face and my clothing.

The good news is that the guitar I have is rated well for beginners—Some of the information I was looking for lead to several different discussions with similar statements by different folks.

That feeling when you excitedly disassemble your guitar only to find that you bought the wrong pick guard. SO. Monday night after the new guard arrives, I can get back to work putting everything together and re-stringing. I’m so upset with myself.
