One of my former employees (she wanted to move to a bigger city) has been rapidly promoted in her new job (this is very common among people who used to work for me) and sent me some coffee from the roaster she works for now. My coffee tastes better, but it's not bad.

People think web browsers have crazy version numbering but the next release of RPG Maker is apparently 1,005 (MV).

The cat is doing something in a pile of blankets.

Nobody convinced me to not do a monthly vlog. #preview

Okay, everybody can switch to watching this on PeerTube now.

If I didn't already own entirely too many mugs I'd be tempted to buy this new one that arrived today.

@dansup How do you miss the duck from that distance? By trying to shoot the robot.

Poked around in the PeerTube database and I just have to wonder what's wrong with people doing mixed case table and column names? Like, congratulations, it's now more obnoxious to run queries through psql because those need to be quoted to prevent psql from lowercasing those and then coming back with an error because the lower cased table/column name doesn't exist. #firstworldproblems

Last night I spent some time playing around in Vocaloid 5. Amy can be a nice voice.

The little rubbery feet under my old MIDI keyboard seem to have degraded into some awful sticky mush that's hard to wash off. I keep that on a stand so those don't really help anything. I've scraped the residue off.

Internet access was briefly down at home and I started rearranging the living room.

The local time is 1:19AM and I'm going to eat some pineapple.

The cat likes to "help" around the house (where help means sit on/next to me). Tonight she got to hang out with me while I sorted the pile of junk mail into stuff that can be tied up for recycling and stuff that needs to get shredded first.

@pla Glad you enjoyed it.

@pla I had enough trouble doing a weekly series already. There's no way I'm going daily.
