I got the email confirming that my CA primary ballot has been received and counted. ✅

Clearly there are linux commands I don't use often enough.

I did a lot of walking around Berkeley today. I don't make it out there as often as I'd like unfortunately, so it was a nice change. But now I have zero energy left after all that walking.

I really wish there were more information easily available on line like bios for candidates for "county central committee" and judges. It's a bit hard to vote form someone when you literally know nothing about them.

Filled out my California primary ballot. I'll mail it out tomorrow.

I'm testing different note-taking apps today.
upNote is almost perfect, but handwriting support is just a little too limited for my needs, unfortunately.

I've managed to end up with 1857 open tabs on my browser (no joke) 😬

So far I'm getting a lot less done today than I thought I would.

and now I can report that the pizza has been very efficiently transferred to my stomach.

pizza is in the oven.

My two most often asked questions while playing a video game:
what am I trying to do?
which button does that again?

I don't use Netflix often, so I'm sure this is news only to me, but man does their search engine suck!

I think I've done as much as I'm going to get done today. Time to turn in. Goodnight all.

Since I'm in the process of cleaning up drives, I was wondering when compression programs became common. It looks like they really took off in the 80s. I do remember using pkzip back then...

I was waiting for comments from a colleague on a paper we're both working on, and was worried that the long silence meant he had spotted huge problems I needed to fix, but it sounds like it's relatively minor stuff. Good. 😌

Already?

One more zoom meeting this evening before my day is done. Wednesdays are especially long.

Windows: hey, how about I shut down all your running apps, do an update in the middle of the night and reboot without warning you. You're welcome!
