I feel like I'm kind of starting to lose track of where we are in the year. Like we're already well into April even though we're not done with March.

Going to be interesting to see if Governor Inslee is going to further ratchet up the stay-at-home level during his address tonight. We live far enough outside Spokane that I'm planning to try to keep running even if it's pretty draconian.

Thought I might have to go in today after all for another last minute MacBook Pro setup, but I think it's going to be okay.

Early in my IT career I realized that a high percentage of computer hardware purchasing decisions were driven by user status rather than actual need or ability. And the opposite was also true, a truly skilled computer user could do amazing things with limited hardware.

I hear the kids squabbling about something upstairs. Time to engage audio interference program.

That's the funny thing for me, it's rare that I get to watch something for myself on our main TV unless the family is away anyway. It's just better for me to watch the mature shows in my office on a computer screen.

Looking at the specs it's some kind of 4 core chip (probably ARM right?) and we're only dealing with 1080p on that TV so I'm fairly optimistic. The interface on our downstairs FireTV isn't the greatest, but it's fine. I haven't experimented with the voice commands much.

Heh, got to my first slightly lighter gray square in a 100+ days by importing all of April 1999 to push myself over the 40 post threshold for the day.
