Morning report

I actually got up fairly early, but I’ve been sitting at the computer, working on various software problems and anomalies:

1. A program launched on startup that I no longer wanted launched then. The advice (for us Windows users) is to delete the shortcut from the Startup Folder, but this program (along with quite a few other little programs launched on startup) was not to be found in the Startup Folder. But I have CCleaner and discovered under Tools, Startup a lengthy list of programs launched at startup along with the ability to change "launch at startup" from "yes" to "no." And that worked.

2. Video Accelerator, a free program, seemed as though it might be interfering with other things, so I uninstalled it (which is when I discovered the above).

3. Google Chrome is still acting crazy, so I’ve switched back to Firefox for now. I did install Memory Fox, and I’m hoping that takes care of some of Firefox’s problems.

4. I did a lot of browsing and reading—maybe because I start today with both Nordic and the Nelson weights and I was procrastinating.

One project I have on my list today is to make 1/2 gallon (well, 2 liters: about the same thing) of dashi so I can continue to enjoy my miso soup.
