Day 41, 2023: Weekend Assignment

I’m going to have a quite busy weekend as I will be setting up three M2 MacBooks Air for the office. I need to make sure the specialized softwares and workflows would work in macOS Ventura.

Currently we are running macOS Monterey on our production machines.

Day 40, 2023: HomePods mini follow-up.

I just had two units of Apple 35W Dual USB-C Power Adapters delivered at the office earlier today. I am going to use them with a pair of HomePods mini, and freeing two ports free on the power strip. Each 35W Dual USB-C Power Adapter will supply power to a HomePod mini and a Lighting compatible devices, such as an iPhone or AirPods.

I also have a few Power Adapter Extension Cables that I kept from previous MacBook power adapters. Apple no longer include the extension cables with MacBooks for quite some times, which they now sell separately for $19.99 USD.

I also collected these extension cables whenever someone discarding their broken power adapters.

By the way, today is a pretty warm day in February; hovering around highs 70 to low 80 °Fahrenheit. The same goes for tomorrow according to weather forecast.

Day39, 2023: Tuning Guitar with Floyd Rose Bridge

Apparently today is a good day for me to tune my guitar. Since it is equipped with Floyd Rose bridge, it took a little bit finessing to get proper tuning. Oh, it is an EVH Wolfgang Special with D-tuna.

The hardest part to tune this guitar is making sure the D-tuna works properly, dropping from E to D on the bottom E-string.

On an unrelated news, I just signed up for Post.news account.

Day 37, 2023: HomePod mini and Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter

I have just installed a pair of HomePods mini at the office and discovered that I would need more power outlets or a different power strip. Thanks to the prong orientation of the 20 Watts USB-C Power Adapter.

20W Apple USB-C Power adapter and it’s 96W counterpart.

I have a Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter, which I now use to power up one of the HomePods mini; no, it cannot power two HomePods mini. I use the second port for a Apple Lighting cable.

Day 36, 2023: Brunch at Hof’s Hut

After dinner with co-workers and a guest last night, we went for brunch at Hof’s Hut. This particular Hof’s Hut has “Rossie”, a Robot Server.

On other news, apparently today is 65th annual Grammy Awards ceremony. Still couldn’t care less about the Grammys.

Day 34, 2023: Easter already?

Target has started some Easter Merchandise in their Valentine Candy section.

Maybe Target carries those Peeps and Cadbury Eggs all year round

in local news, coyotes were spotted in my neighborhood. It is important to keep pets inside, especially those curious cats who love to roam the neighborhoods.
