Started the day with a standard walk, with the addition of Joanne’s company, which makes it an event, not mere exercise. Then I worked on the new AV PC. Since none of my crew jumped up to set it up, I decided to do it myself. When I was done it was very nice, if I do say so. You log in as the user named CHAV and immediately all the things you need for zoom hosting are right there.
After lunch I edited the fourth video, completely clearing out all pending events. Well, there will be another recorded tonight.
Also in the afternoon the desk called, I had a couple of large packages in the deliveries. I picked them up and opened them, and I now have all the pieces of my new computer — except for the computer.
That’s after unwrapping everything. Which created a large pile of packaging.
At dinner David G asked, “you have a webcam for zoom, fine, what are you doing for a microphone?” Excellent question, DG. I hadn’t given it a thought. I need to add a USB microphone. That brings up the whole matter of, where do all these cables plug in? There are USB-A and USB-C ports on the back of the monitor, and USB-C ports on the Mac Mini, and I have a USB hub with five more USB-A ports… I need to think this out, make a diagram, plan for neat cable dress. Tomorrow.
