Previous season

A cool front passed through yesterday dropping temperatures in Chicago all the way to...19°C overnight. The dewpoint dropped to 17°C, however, which hints at a time a few weeks from now when the sweaty corn will have been harvested. Last year that happened right around the end of August, so one can hope.

I'm at a friend's house where I just set up her wireless network and wi-fi enabled printer in under 10 minutes. At my (and Wirecutter's) recommendation, she bought a TP-Link Archer BE3600. Setup was very easy. I especially like that it has a "IoT network" feature that you can enable to isolate smart switches from the rest of your network. I have a Netgear Nighthawk at home that gets me 1,300 Mbps throughput, but I didn't see anything like an IoT network when I set it up. I'll check tomorrow morning.

US broadcast order. Resumed with disc 2 (season 1, episode 6): "Thank God It's Friday, Again" (aired 1999-04-23 US, 2000-01-17 UK).

I've just uploaded the last bit of media consumption data to the Journal. Over the years I've made 55 mix CDs (or rather 52 CDs and 3 "CDs" which were just .mp3s edited together and put on a memory stick). I've now uploaded all the playlists, starting with #00 from May 1997 and ending with #53 from June 13th. The exercise also showed that some of my concert dates were recorded incorrectly. I blame my past self.
