Tue Jul 21 06:00:01 EDT 2020 ======================================== Slept from ten-thirty to six. Partly cloudy. Highs in the lower 80s. East winds around 5 mph. Forty-five-minute walk in the morning. Overcast, not hot yet. In the garden of that house near the interstitial woods, I came quite close on a deer. The deer followed me along the path through the woods and for some way after. Odd. Lot of people walking in Beverly Park. Heard that croaking sound by the pond again; maybe catfish? Saw ducks, and several kinds of mushrooms. Heard Canada geese, a blue jay, and a woodpecker. On my way back, saw a golden retriever in the woods; was the deer sticking near me because it was nervous of the dog? It didn't seem afraid. Work ---------------------------------------- - Yet more Dell invoices Done. - Update Snipe-IT with new laptops Done. - Send more RentPayment forms to deactivate phases seven+ Done. - Work on Go utility for lockbox Done. - Have FL swap out their router No. Email from the HR director this morning: > As you are aware, the company made the difficult decision to delay merit increases due to the pandemic. With that being said, we have decided to process a merit increase for you of 3%, effective 07/01/2020. Unexpected. Better than getting an inflationary pay cut, but I still can't feel wonderful about it. Who else did or didn't get a secret cost of living ("merit"!) increase? Still, I am grateful for being able to work from home. Cicadas signing in the late morning.

It's conceivable that some programs may move away from libc resolvers using resolv.conf and start querying the service directly over dbus. Linux screen recording software? Kazam? Nope, seems to only work in Gnome. simplescreenrecorder?
