There's a DNS propagation checker that shows success everywhere except Mumbai, but they don't have a check for Racine, WI.

Provisioned another server to do some exploratory dev stuff. Now I'm waiting both for my coffee delivery (should be arriving within the next couple hours) and for DNS propagation.

Today I was woken up because the morning shift couldn't figure out how to get the charge terminal working. I specifically asked if it was plugged in before going in, but yeah, it wasn't plugged in. Doing the cat visit early.

The plan this instance runs on got a free upgrade so typica.us was down a couple minutes to make extra storage available. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Stop.

Once I had ECRs where the software didn't have the ability to save reports to a user specified location (you could save the reports, but it would always be buried under a dozen levels of cryptic directories so to find them you had to search the filesystem for recently created/modified files) but it did have background music. Needed to remember to mute the audio before attempting to update PLUs.

The bar for doing better is, IMO, pretty low.

Coffee is getting delivered tomorrow. Currently enjoying the new Ethiopian coffee from the previous shipment (getting new labels/register programming ready for that so I can start selling it now that I'm happy with the roast).

One of these days I'll get some time to work on a replacement for the ECRs since those are all pretty awful to program and I'm also unimpressed by the POS software that I've seen. I can do better for my needs.

That's not to imply feedback would not be welcome on other issues as well.

I got a couple feature requests for Typica today.

For the first one I'd welcome community feedback on whether the trivial change requested is either of value or not detrimental as something that could be available (well, is, in the feature branch so you can test that and see what you think) before the broader work that I think makes more sense is done. Typica users, free to reply here or on the github issue page if you have any strong feelings one way or the other.

@Satsuma Mine is mostly a lap or sitting next to me cat. Likes to stay in the most convenient petting locations.

@Satsuma Yes, very rare. Thankfully she didn't use claws.

There's a cat on my head.

The cat I'm visiting has decided to sit in petting range tonight.

@lilithsaintcrow Have you considered Hypocrosaurus?

@gnomon It looks like I'll need to authorize the release of another 800ish next week that I wasn't planning on getting for another month. Sales are a little better than expected.

Birds were trying to get run over while I was driving today, but I declined to hit them.
