stoutfellow1. Microsoft took the debate over whether to upgrade to Windows 10 out of my hands; yesterday morning, I got up and went to the computer, only to be greeted with a cheery "Welcome to Windows 10!" I'm quite sure I never clicked "Yes" on any of those annoying pop-ups, but the fait is accompli. It took me a while to settle in; in particular, getting the right settings for Skyrim was a bit of a pain. (For a while I thought I'd have to drop the project altogether.) At any rate, everything seems to be working satisfactorily (but see below), apart from the aforementioned inability to play DVDs. (I've downloaded what's supposed to be a free fix, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize DVDs yet.)
2. I went onto campus today to plug my computer back in. There was a pre-planned campus-wide power outage on Saturday, and so I unplugged it on Friday. While there, I started the revisions to my paper that I mentioned before. (I was unsatisfied with the section on second-order triangle classes, and came up with a way to improve it by adding a little more machinery. The obvious place for that machinery was at the beginning of the section on triangles; once I started writing it, I realized that some of the material on first-order classes belonged there, and then that I could make the section on first-order classes a little less ugly by using that machinery. I got most of that in today.) What remains to be seen is whether (now that W10 has been imposed) I can still access my office computer from home. I'll probably give that a try tomorrow.
3. Tomorrow is Gracie's turn at the vet. This is very late in the year; this winter and spring were... not hectic, exactly, but they didn't leave much time for anything out of my daily routine. Both of them need to go to the groomer. There's a dog park a mile or two away that I'd like to check out, but I'll need to get Buster a stroller - otherwise he'd be worn out by the time we got there. I've seen listings for strollers on-line; they're not cheap, but I can hack it.
4. Weather's been erratic here; Monday and part of Tuesday were rainy, today has been fair and tomorrow is supposed to be likewise, but the rain is due to return on Friday. Being able to work from home is going to be important this summer....
