The cat wants to know why I'm cooking dinner and doing laundry instead of hugging the cat.

Dear yelp, please stop trying to contact me. Yes, I know people love me on yelp. My strategy to keep it that way is to continue pretending that yelp doesn't exist.

New nvidia driver was available so I'm trying that. For some reason KDE/Qt stuff doesn't want to scale right on Intel so hopefully this doesn't turn back into a crash-fest. Save early, save often, keep backups.

New coffees arrived today. One can go out as soon as I've decided how I want to roast it so that's currently running through product development. I still need to talk to two more suppliers about other coffees.

Contracting some coffee to ship at the start of July.

My book should have better roasting graphs and probably a lack of anthropomorphized fires.

(I did not buy a $2M roaster myself)

Speaking of reference notes, today I received this gift in the mail. The note inside says that this book wasn't published, but was made available to people who bought a $2M Scolari roaster.

I considered writing up a page with additional references/supporting information for the latest video but decided that I was already far enough behind on getting that out and would rather just get the video out for now. Maybe some day I'll go back to writing up some notes.

@neal@video.typica.us If you skip to the end you can see and hear my cat. She was resting on my lap during the entire recording session.

When I first planned this episode I was worried that maybe it was going to come in too short, but it ended up at just over 38 minutes, which makes it the longest episode in the series to date.

Edits done, render checked, all set to upload tomorrow (I'll probably get that started on PeerTube in about 1.5 hours when it's tomorrow local time and YouTube substantially later in the day).

@burgin thank you

@burgin I want to know more about the pie bar.

Recording is done. Some minimal editing is still required, but I should be able to knock that out this evening and get this uploaded tomorrow. Be sure to watch til the end for a special guest appearance by Punk, the cat.

Doing some final checks before recording the next episode of Coffee and Code. I've decided to film this episode in my library in front of a painting that I picked up on my first trip to Ethiopia.

If I do decide to drive to the next event I'm teaching at I've been invited over to visit someone about 2/3 of the way between here and there. That could make the drive a little easier.
