I'm part owner and roaster at a little coffee company in Wisconsin. Author of Typica, a popular free program used to capture and work with coffee roasting production records that's used at roasting companies all over the world. Volunteer on the Roasters Guild education committee. Available for paid coffee consulting, training, open source software development. Living with a cat who broke into my house and decided to stay. Likes: cute, travel, food. Dislikes: blinking lights.
Reworking more blends today. It's a bit of a challenge because I can't use a lot of my go to coffees since my sister refuses to acknowledge the possibility of planning. Still, what I'm looking at for a new Breakfast Blend is super nice as it cools. A bit heavier than what it's been lately, but with a very subtle fruitiness in the aftertaste that's a nice surprise as you drink it.
Stripe thinks I could "benefit from business insights powered by SQL." I agree, which is why we already have two databases: one on site with all our production stuff, one on the web site with online sales related stuff. Stripe handles such a tiny proportion of the overall business that it's not worth looking at whatever it is they're trying to sell me on.
I did show one of them how to get into the yard so they could do that and reassured them that I'd far rather they just retrieved their balls on their own than pester me about it, though I can understand not wanting to trespass on stranger neighbor's property, especially if you're a person of color in America not wanting to get shot (I have no intention of owning a gun and wouldn't shoot a kid getting his ball back even if I did, but I know that's not universally true).
