She became a little more active later.

Found Autumn on this pile of Dad's coats. They probably still smell like him.

(not that I expect anybody else to actually use it directly since a lot of stuff is going to be directly based on my own niche uses, but someone might find it useful as an example if they want to do something similar)

Last night I spent some time generalizing some of the stuff that I often end up rewriting from scratch when I make new coffee roasting videos. Taking some time to think about what I really want let me come up with something that's more versatile, more concise, and easier to work with, so that's a thing to be happy about. I want to build it out a little more, try actually using it for some new videos, and if it still seems useful I'll probably make the code available.

@cwebber@octodon.social My N900 never had a SIM installed so it's hard for me to call it a phone, but it made for a nice small form factor touch/stylus operable computer that could connect to my networks over WiFi and run whatever software I wrote for it. Would buy again (actually did, I have 2 of them). Nokia sent me a care package with a newer phone (Symbian based) after their Qt acquisition which was nice, but I kind of missed having the keyboard.

I guess this is Mom's cat now. She likes the exercise mat.

There's hidden stuff if you jump up above the ceiling and run along the top of the stage.

Can they defeat Airman?

Meet Roid

The game she's talking about is Petris, of course.

Don't get fooled by snacks!

Got licks from 2 cats today.

@gnomon Thanks

@shahaan@mastodon.social Thanks. He was ready.

@professor_stoke Thanks

My father passed away tonight at the age of 71 after a battle with lung cancer. The death was quick and painless.

There's a street in front of my house now that wasn't there when I left. Still can't drive on it for at least a few days, but it exists now.

Today I learned there are hospital beds that can play nature sounds (beaches, birds, &c.). I don't know if my father can hear it, but that's nice.

New Fair Trade Certified decaf coffee from Sumatra passed the last of its product development testing. It's not on the web site or on the shelf yet, but if you're in Racine, WI and you really want some, we can bag that up now.
