Sat Jun 30 10:57:21 EDT 2018 Slept from one to nine. Woke briefly around seven. High in the upper nineties and sunny today. Cable internet is out this morning. For once, it _might_ not be Comcast's fault; DTE guys are digging holes outside my apartment with a backhoe. Comcast won't dispatch until Monday, and I don't hold out much hope for a quick fix if it is an underground cable cut. Grr. Goals: - Play Nintendo Done. Played some Thimbleweed Park — a classic adventure game. - Play with D&D stuff Done. - Read No really. Listened to music. For all I goof around with different music players, even writing my own, this shell script is what I use most often: ``` #!/bin/sh set -euf find "$HOME"/Music/ -type f -iname \*.flac > "$HOME"/tmp/playlist.txt mplayer -shuffle -playlist "$HOME"/tmp/playlist.txt 2>/dev/null ``` Sweet! Comcast fixed my connection in a couple of hours. A guy called to let me know, but he didn't know what cause the field tech had found. Changed sheet and towels, vacuumed. Wrote my first non-trivial Makefile. A fairly productive yet enjoyable low-key day. Lunch: coffee, beef pot pie Dinner: beer, Chinese
