The cat wants lots of belly rubs this morning.

@Taweret@octodon.social So much for the ship cleaning itself.

This is also the chapter that I'm most likely to want to come back to and add more supporting detail.

Drafted a couple more book sections today. The chapter that I'm working on now is probably the single most important one for new roasters to spend a lot of time with. https://roastingbook.coffee

@agudbrandson No problem. If you run into other issues or just have questions on things you're not sure about, let me know.

None of the machines at work, that is. I've got a machine at home with some computer control capabilities modded on but it's a weird enough design that anything related to that isn't generally useful.

There's someone in the next city over with a new roaster and he might let me play around with that some time to expand Typica's support for setting controls on the roaster. He's not interested in automation, but the machine is massively overpowered and he wants an easier way to make small adjustments. None of my machines are set up for computer control so I haven't spent much time on that.

There's an update on Typica's development branch that causes the batch details window to not barf if you've somehow managed to create a batch record without a green coffee item. The result is less detailed, ugly, and half of the tabs don't work, but the most important features are there and there's enough information that a confused person can take a screen shot and I can tell them what went wrong. Thanks to @agudbrandson and @jflanders for providing the bug report and enough info to solve it.

@Taweret@octodon.social Maybe "Call to Arms" but I'm also tempted to say "Our Man Bashir"

@sean Separate test instance that you can just nuke and reload?

On my last grocery run I picked up some of those frozen breaded mozzarella sticks on a whim. The box says a serving is 1 stick and who do they think they're kidding? Nobody is eating just 1 stick.

@agudbrandson I can walk you through any of those if you want.

@agudbrandson Option 1: Enter some green coffee purchases and fix the records to some extent by hand. Option 2: Set the existing batch data as target profiles and just understand that early batches (except the one through manual entry) are problematic elsewhere. Option 3: Like option 2 if you want to save the data that's already in there but then nuke the database and start over, remembering to enter valid data this time around.

@agudbrandson Okay, not sure why you weren't getting the error logs. It looks like you somehow managed to get Typica to allow you to save batches to the database without having any green coffee (and 0% mass loss). The measurement data is there and fine and would have been loadable had any of the batches been saved as targets for the roasted coffee items. It's just that the batch details window barfs on nonsense.

If the externals change, I can step in a couple years later and maybe there will be more interesting work to do then.

Officially turned that down. The other big factor in the decision is that the upcoming deliverable schedule is all redoing (for dubious reasons) stuff that we finished years ago. I'd rather work on new stuff.

Received a "thank you for your order" email that was written IN ALL CAPS.
