Getting Ready

The big task for today was packing; naturally, I interrupted myself by finding other things to do.

I finished (and mailed in) my answers to the Almaniac; I’ll find out how well I did in another month.

I visited the bank to get them to stop mailing me solicitations for additional credit cards.

I finished reading Station Eleven – now I want to watch the TV version.

I updated my phone, iPad, watch, and computers to the latest version of the system; I even cleaned the screens on everything!

Despite my best efforts, we’re packed and should be ready to go tomorrow.

Resisting Temptation

Today, I downloaded a few TV shows to my laptop for our upcoming trip. I have hopes of not actually taking the laptop, so I also want them on my iPad – that means copying them from system to system via WiFi.

Each episode of Benjamin Franklin is about 5.4GB – and that takes a while to transfer – 5-10 minutes each, longer than it took to download them from PBS initially!

I could upgrade to WiFi 6 – but I’m not sure it’s really worth it for the three or four times a year I download videos to the iPad or iPhone. I wonder when WiFi 7 will be available?
