http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notetag:nu.federati.net,2020-04-25:noticeId=3304878:objectType=noteNew note by lnxw48a1Finished today’s #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/yoco" rel="tag">YoCo</a></span> ( #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/yogurt" rel="tag">yogurt</a></span> and #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/coffee" rel="tag">coffee</a></span> ) already. Good morning and #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/tzag" rel="tag">TZAG.</a></span> <br /> <br /> Yesterday, I drank double my usual amount of (decaffeinated) coffee and my usual amount of water, as the resurgent cold kept converting fluids into mucus. I felt pretty unproductive as I coughed and sneezed the entire time I was awake from 03:00 to 22:00 ... but I guess I did get some things done:<br /> * Installed #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/lubuntu" rel="tag">Lubuntu</a></span> 20.04 in place of 18.04—because of some deep changes, upgrading was not recommended—and then installed some of the things I’m currently working on learning<br /> * I found an “Intro to SciLab” slideshow, so I installed #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/scilab" rel="tag">SciLab</a></span> on the Win10 machine and started stepping along with the slideshow. There’s still quite a bit to go, but it seems doable. I’m considering downloading some #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/covid19" rel="tag">COVID-19</a></span> data and trying to see whether there are better ways to present it than most of the present sites are using.<br /> * We had our second family-wide #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/videochat" rel="tag">videochat</a></span> on #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/jitsimeet" rel="tag">JitsiMeet</a></span> last evening. It is really targeted at my siblings (including the extended groups that grew up in different states). I dropped out when it was time to talk to #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/gs3" rel="tag">GS3</a></span> on #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/wire" rel="tag">Wire</a></span> ... he’s got a new area to explore, so he and the granddoggy are spending a lot of time searching the recesses of the enclosed porch.<br /> <br /> Today seems to be a little better so far, as there’s a lot less runny nose and sneezing (no coughing yet today).3304878http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-04-25T14:14:34+00:002020-04-25T14:14:34+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
