After testing a couple things out I do think I'll be able to only travel with one computer for this trip.

@gnomon No, I've got a sieve shaker and sieves to measure that (if I want a rough approximation, rubbing between thumb and finger works better for that). I've gotten some nice bean surface views, though.

The cat will have to deal with a lot of change. Soon her favorite place to sit will be moved (replaced with new furniture tomorrow) and then she'll be staying with my sister for a few days while I'm out of town.

In preparation for furniture moving I had to take the microscope out of the living room.

https://video.typica.us is now running PeerTube beta 11.

@deadsuperhero Yes, I made sure to turn that on. Almost makes me wish I dragged windows around more.

@deadsuperhero Wobbly windows are fine but I could never really get into desktop cubes.

Replaying Phantom Brave (in which everybody else in the green haired girl's party is dead). Time to check the bottle mail.

This is the closest monitoring station to where I'm going on Thursday. Should I pack a mask?

These peppers were hotter than expected. My mouth is on fire. It's good, though.

Tried to get takeout for dinner but the place I went had lots of staff not making food and not taking orders so I left. I'll make better food myself anyway.

Aside from some typos it's a nice piece and you don't often see articles that touch on all of: coffee roasting, software development, and international consulting.

The person who asked to interview me for his YouTube channel put up a blog post with some of the pre-interview conversation. I'd've shared a link here sooner, but he hasn't told me this is up yet. http://blog.oilslickcoffee.com/2018/08/14/in-the-sightglass-neal-wilson/

I've mostly been ignoring YouTube stats lately but just happened to catch this oddity that seems to be happening now. The video is from 2012 so I don't know what the new interest there is. For comparison, that usually gets about 60 views per day.

They could deliver Wednesday or Friday and since I'll be out of the state on Friday I decided the earlier day was better.

I'm getting a new sofa delivered Wednesday. I've been using one that came with the house that started disintegrating around the same time the cat moved in and it's in pretty bad shape.

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong about this but I feel like maybe the play button should be a little more obvious on a program for playing music.

Moved my keys over to the new computer. Now I can log in to all my servers.

Good: Media Controls on my lock screen, media controls on my phone's lock screen through KDE Connect, plays my music, adding stuff to playlists is super easy.

Bad: Some stuff is super small on my screen. After finding the tiny player controls I still can't visually tell which is the play button (HiDPI)

Ugly: Smart playlist->all tracks creates a playlist with all tracks in apparently random order. Too smart for me.

Meh: Lots of features that I personally have no interest in using.
