    I went to a computer camp for a few years, and the brothers who ran it were in one of the high end guilds on their server. A lot of us were immediately obsessed…I remember going home after the first week and begging my parents to buy the game for me.

    Got away from it in late high school and college, but I started on p99 during the pandemic.




  • Sleep now is a lot more difficult than sleep 100 years ago.

    Light matters. Blue light from computer screens has been tied to sleep issues. The theory is that it mimics certain bandwidths of sunlight that our eyes are primed to read as “daytime, get up and start moving.”

    Hydration and food matters. You need to be in a good state but shouldn’t consume much right before bed.

    Exercise matters. A lot of people have trouble sleeping if they move around a lot before bed. Since we have electric lights and can stay up very late doing stuff, it’s hard for your body to know it’s time to start winding down.

    Best solution I’ve found: no caffeine after noon, consistent bed schedule (both going to sleep and waking up), black out curtains and/or sleep mask, earplugs/earbuds/brown noise track, and stop using screens an hour or two before bedtime.


  • The change was LastPass messing around with their membership options.

    I had LastPass for years. I eventually decided to pay for it. Then they decided to remove premium all together…only to add it back by taking away features. One of those features was being able to use both mobile and web.

    I opted for mobile, because I always have my phone with me, and the app has biometric unlock, whereas web does not.

    But you can’t save and export your LastPass via mobile. Has to be web. So I had to switch that. And I’m just now getting to a point where I can transfer.










  • I wound up buying a medcline. It’s a wedge pillow with a cutout for your arm. Solved that problem for me. The new one is that the body pillow flattens around my head over the course of the night. Not a huge deal, so I’m relatively comfortable now.

    I want to go back to a hammock. I never slept better than when I had one bolted in my room.
