Test video now uploading

Needed to modify /dist/server/lib/emailer.js to get mail sending set up on peertube because I couldn't figure out how to get it to not fail on the mail server's self signed cert through regular settings. Added rejectUnauthorized: false to the tls object and that made everything happy.

Tomorrow I'm getting a free dining room furniture upgrade. A contractor friend has a client who needed to get rid of some a nice table/chairs/buffet and same contractor will find a place for my existing table/chairs since I don't need/have space for two sets.

I should also mention their crowd funding campaign again here. https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform

Still need to upload content and do a little more configuration work (email is not configured), but https://video.typica.us is live. It's a new #peertube instance that will have stuff related to my software as well as coffee/coffee roasting stuff in general.

I miss the days when my spam included messages trying to sell me full scale animatronic dinosaurs (which they understood I was in the market for [I wasn't in the market for those]).

Today's spam included a company trying to sell "website scraping with python" and I'm wondering why any coffee shop needs to go around scraping web sites and why any company that thinks it needs to scrape web sites wouldn't have someone on staff who can script that.

A former employee is getting married and I'm roasting coffee for the wedding.

Rain and thunder outside. I'm roasting coffee inside.

Working on blend updates today. Also finished editing a script for a new video for Typica's landing page. I'll probably record that after work and get a start on editing.

A small child was very interested in watching me refill a stapler.

Call scheduled for Wednesday for a follow up interview. This will be the 2nd time I've been interviewed in Roast. Hopefully people will find it interesting.

A little late, but payment for the last class I taught arrived today.

Massive headache today, but I've got most of my range of motion back, so that's an improvement.

Power keeps cutting out.

And now I have an email with interview questions. I guess it'll be for a thing in Roast Magazine. I'll answer those after dinner.

And shortly after Ildi's visit, I had a nice chat with Jim Brady on the phone. He roasts about as much coffee in an hour as I do in a year.

Ildi Revi just stopped in at the shop. We worked together on a lot of things when she was in charge of education at SCAA and I found out that we're both going to be helping out in Anne Cooper's class at Roasters Guild Retreat. Always nice to get a visit from people in the industry.
