Really bad headache last night. Took excedrin, which is about the only OTC thing that still works for me. Excedrin has caffeine in it. Not so good for sleeping, thus, I didn't.

IT's wearing off, and I'm tired, having basically been awake for 1.5 days. Also, headache returns in full force.

Who wins?

OH BOY!
I've been preapproved for the Sweetwater card.

1. It's a good thing I don't have an environment conducive to actually doing much in the way of music and audio production right now, or I'd probably consider it. I have no room for studio gear, and 99.999% of my stuff is in storage indefinitely, so that's one less thing I have to think about.

2. I definitely don't need/want another credit card at this point. My credit is good, mostly from a time when I had more income, and I want to keep it that way.

Funny thing is, I have only ever purchased one thing from Sweetwater in my life, despite having a sales rep there for probably 15 years, because I have been given things purchased by others from them in the past. The one thing I bought from them is, far as I know, only sold by them in this country, so I didn't have much choice.

Today's dumb thing:

My old Dell Latitude E7240, which I now use as a bed-side computer again, is fully capable of downloading and uploading at Gigabit speeds on my network. iPerf3 is happily sending and receiving at around 941 mbps, as it should. SMB transfers are the same.

Internet speed tests, however, are only around 500 to 600 mbps in either direction.

The same speedtest.net servers on other machines, including a Raspberry Pi 4, are around 930 mbps symmetric, which is what I expect to see.

It almost doesn't matter, since most of the time, I'm basically using this laptop as a glorified NVDARemote, but it's a thing anyway.

Hi there. How's it going? I'm feeling absolutely miserable today. Physically and emotionally drained, constantly thinking about crap that is far beyond my control, not having enough control over the things I should, theoretically. Don't ya love these depression spiral thingies?

Anyway, tomorrow's another day, I guess.
