 Ugh, this stupid interface changed. In the last week I have dealt with three apps changing their interface for no damn good reason. This site, Netflix on their web interface, and Goto Meeting. Enough. New isn't always better. This new interface here is shite. Bad developers. No cookie.

I didn't want to get up this morning. I could use another hour or three for sure. Very sleepy. Much sleep needed. But on the plus side, it's Thursday already. Whee.

Okay, let's see, yesterday. Taught a group of 14 most of the day. It was a moderately okay group. I had people from multiple countries - US, Mexico, Brazil, and Ireland. That was fun. Some of them were lively, others not so much. Funny enough my most lively were the ones from outside the US. Maybe my US folks are all just tired of their world falling apart. Or being on fire. Or freezing. This image from the other day just sums things up to me:

Welcome to 2020. I saw a good post the other day that said I would be happy for winter coming but something tells me this is the year we get flammable snow. Mood.

Been playing a new game. I have to switch games and genres every so often or I get bored and distracted. After playing through 2.5 Wolfenstein games, I needed something "new". I started playing Control. WTF? SCP meets X-Files. The story is out there for sure. It's a very interesting game. More importantly, playing it on the new computer is heaven. Using DX12 with full ray tracing on and it is just smooth. Reflections and particle physics are crazy good. That part makes me happy. As for the game? It's got my attention that's for sure.

Made lasagne for dinner. It was acceptable.

Dealt with some BS scheduling stuff after dinner with work. Too many people trying to manage my calendar is once again causing issues. Shock.

Today and tomorrow is a group of 6, all west coast. I am scheduled to start at 8:30am EST. But given they are all NorCal students and most of that area is on fire and looks like hell, I am going to be lenient in what time people arrive. This is going to be rough for them and I know it. We will get through it. 

We'll all get through it. Kicking and screaming.
