Housesitting today- feel bad for the dog, she's been sitting by the door all day waiting for her owners to come back. It's been hours. She really loves them- glad they're only away for the weekend.
Making a Windows virtual machine for a compsci class that requires Windows- going to try an amelioration script to get rid of crap, see how that works. Worst case, it's just a virtual machine and can be redone, especially since the class doesn't start for a while (we just want to be ready ahead of time). Have to say this is really confirming that Windows is godawful. It's so slow! There were 7 visible options for telemetry that we had to turn off! The installer looks like it's from Windows 7, but it's for Windows 10! It's eating all the resources we give it and it still wants more. This is ridiculous. Took a full 10 minutes for the installer to stop loading. Honestly wondering how we managed to use Windows for so long. It's so frustrating.
Finished taking data for communications class- now we have to write an 8 page minimum paper on it. Fun /s. At least it's useful information for once that we can actually use in life.
Not much going on other than that; uneventful weekend of housesitting and loving on a sweet dog that misses her owners. Hopefully she'll feel better when it's peanut butter time- her owners fill a dog toy with peanut butter that she works to get out every night and it's the peak of her day. You should see how excited she got when her owners showed us what to do!
