Ran in place to Apple News Today, Fifth and Mission, and StarTalk (with Malcolm Gladwell) podcasts via Apple TV. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, toasted coconut; water. Sprint standup. Requested a new test listserv. Followup from yesterday's UFD: looked at stats, prepped handling of unsubs, made template tweaks. Blue Sky comms meeting. Lunch at home: leftovers from last night, water. A bit later I had a bowl of Skylar Rae cherries which are now, instantly, my new favorite variety of cherry. They have the coloring of Rainier cherries but they don't bruise as easily, and they are super sweet with a very high Brix. They were half the price of the same amount of Bing cherries we bought at the same store. Finally figured out how to configure DKIM for Campaign Monitor. D8 repo work following James's work with D8 and D9. Read CSS Layout News 311. Troubleshot an HR problem receiving a gift. More CM config. More D8 repo work. Dinner at home with Patrick: I prepared tacos with fixins. Water to drink. Afterwards Patrick had a scoop of ice cream. I ate a bowl of Bing cherries. We played a bunch of games, but many were unsuccessful. Myst III: Exile on Steam quit immediately upon launch, and several minutes of troubleshooting did not resolve it. Gave up and tried Firewatch. Our DualShock 5 controller would not work with it at all and several minutes of troubleshooting did not resolve it. Gave up and switched to Apple Arcade on Apple TV where we tried Fantasian but it was a long download so while we waited Patrick played some of Pac-Man Party which we had played before. Fantasian still not ready, so I played Frogger in Toy Town. Fantasian is ready. We played it a bit, but then the controller failed to pair. I resolved this by unpairing both previously paired controllers then pairing the one controller we were using today (which was the same as one of the two just-unpaired controllers). Figuring out the controls was too difficult, so we quit Fantasian and uninstalled it. Watched comedy on YouTube including Sam Morril: I Got This—hilarious. Patrick went to bed. Later I got Myst III: Exile working or at least so that it would not quit upon launch. I don't know what I did to fix it.
