I noticed earlier today that some of my Apple Music library changes weren’t showing on my Apple TV. After attempting to initiate a cloud sync, Apple Music told me there was an error and it didn’t recognize my library. What? So the fix allegedly is to turn sync off and back on. No big deal, only 42,927 items. I was going to continue the re-rip project but instead I’m waiting to see if the re-sync to the cloud actually works.
There’s a lot to be said for learning the hard way. I am deeply impatient with myself. I was attempting to restring a guitar I was gifted with many years ago—because I want to really dig in and learn. I broke the first new string in my eagerness. So now I wait for replacements to arrive.
That feeling when I have to reset the password I just reset because somehow it didn’t stick or what I thought I typed and confirmed isn’t what I typed and confirmed.
When your first few hours of PTO include communication with co-workers to coordinate support, and a vendor who means well but didn’t quite email the correct folks.
But I am sitting in my home office sipping coffee with my wife. So I have that going for me, which is nice. Which is nice.
Tonight’s listening included In Through The Out Door and Meddle.
I just wanted to start watching a concert video for my wife. I was privileged to change my password twice so that everything started talking.
We are streaming now, but it’s going to be a bit before I can relax after wanting to get destructive for a few moments.
I’m ripping my physical CDs one more time. Really, twice each. Once ripped to WAV for Plex, a second ripped to lossless for iTunes. I’m hedging my bets against Apple not letting me serve my collection locally any longer. ITunes continues to be iTunes. I can’t believe how slowly it all runs, aggravated by needing to use external storage—but it works. With Plex, I have a migration path to an open source OS and commodity hardware.
Saints at bat versus the Stripers

Storybook ending to the game: Saints were down by one at the bottom of the ninth. Bases were loaded after 2 outs. Final hit of the game hit the home run wall. Saints won, 13-9.
Novice that I am, made some DNS changes. Finally sunk in that I only need DNS from registrar, not also from my web host. Therefore I had my host remove DNS service. Added a txt record for an experiment. If I broke something, I assume I may not know for a day or two.
We were going to check out a comedian’s set after seeing a snippet on Tiktok. Even though the TV audio was set as one of the Apple TV audio outputs, sound from the Apple TV was only playing via a HomePod Mini in a different room. I had to leave the YouTube app and the video I was watching to go into the system settings to set the audio output to the TV speakers only.
