I got some hours of sleep that were actually at night last night, and then I woke up at a reasonably "normal" time! Yay!

I have Internet again after three long hours without it! (Yes, I have my smartphone, but I would prefer to not stare at my phone's small screen if I can help it or use up megabytes of cell phone data.)

I scored a $400 Polk sound bar for $150 on Woot. My television is just old enough that it lacks either an optical out or HDMI ARC, but a cheap 3.5mm-to-optical converter later and it works.

Also I finally put the LEDs to backlight the TV. It looks sick.

Young people today, honestly! When I was young we had to go 24 hours each day without the Internet, and we had no choice!

Aye, so much we didn't realise when we were young.

I spent most of today doing various things that had to do with managing my emails, mostly deleting old ones. All in all it's been a pretty productive day.

I wanted/needed something done by my phone company, and it apparently got done quickly and without any problems! When I called them, I didn't have to wait in line at all - someone answered the phone right away. They were both friendly and competent, understood what I wanted, and did it without giving me any trouble. OK, they did try to sell me something I didn't want, but that's unfortunately pretty much par for the course these days, and they instantly accepted my "no".

This was one of the best experiences with a phone company I ever had!
