Had a pretty good day today! Spent time with a friend and
worked on configuring our spare laptop some more to optimize
for using its touchscreen. We also started repairing and
refreshing their stuffed animal, who hasn't been washed in
almost two decades and really needed some help. It
looks so much nicer even with just a quick handwashing.
There's purple under there!
Not much else to report for today. Been a good mental
health day and we're feeling pretty good. Hopefully this
weekend we'll be able to get a lot done; planning to play
with virtual machines some more and see how much we can
learn about Windows (ugh) by screwing with it and poking
around. We're going to need to know it well at some point
if we want to go compsci, so might as well start now,
especially when we're starting basic compsci classes in
the fall that are needed to get to the more difficult ones.
Not expecting to learn a ton from the basic ones, but you
never know!
Anyone have tips to make Windows not godawful slow in a VM?
It's been obnoxiously slow so far. Still usable, but annoying
even though it has plenty of resources to work with. Maybe
we're missing something obvious that would help. Using
KVM and virt-manager iirc.
