Shop is mostly put back together. I have some roasting to do now for orders.

New blog post laying out the plan for Typica 1.10.

Some of the changes here are things where if you wanted equivalent features in one of the competing programs you'd be on the hook for an extra ~$3000/year or more over the base pricing depending on how you use it, but Typica will still be free (though if you wanted to pass some of those savings along to support ongoing development work, that's always greatly appreciated).

Car is getting new tires and some other needed maintenance. Got a flat.

It's a small change.

It's all WIP and likely to change before the 1.10 release, but today's tiny core code change can be used to clean up some script code and make multi-window interactions easier to reason about.

departments is a new feature branch in Typica's git repo. People should stay away from that for now as it has changes to core code and depends on database schema updates that aren't yet getting created automatically.

@robotcarsley @Taweret@octodon.social For some reason, looking at this reminds me of Phantron from the original Star Fox.

Sanding is done. Time for a cheesecake break.

@Taweret@octodon.social My favorite way to watch the animated series is with my eyes closed. There's not that much animation to miss and it's not terrible as a radio play.

Taking a break from sanding to eat some pizza.

Tasting production test batches of new decaf coffees today. So far they're all turning out as expected.

@debugninja@banana.dog None of mine have labels.

Obtained sanding equipment. The shop is closing early today and staying closed an extra day so I can work on refinishing half of the floor.

This is going to be their 97th year of doing free concerts.

Renewed my ad in the Racine Concert Band program. I don't know if it brings in any business but they reliably do a good concert series at the zoo.

@mauro @debugninja@banana.dog Appropriate for mine. It mostly contains notes for the coffee roasting book I've been working on writing.

@mauro @debugninja@banana.dog But if you can't see the wear, how are other people supposed to know the difference between someone who uses the notebook for writing and someone who just has it as a prop? (j/k it was in an event gift bag, I didn't pick the color)
