Someone lost their DMV receipt/temporary drivers license paper (usable as a license until the new one shows up in the mail). I was about to toss it thinking it was trash on the floor but then I noticed what it was. He's a regular so we can get that back to him or make sure he doesn't need it next time he's in.

I've been doing server side work getting roastingbook.coffee ready to start taking book orders. Sorry to anybody inconvenienced by the site being down while troubleshooting problems. I still have a little more work to do soon, but my hope is that the rest of this should go more smoothly.

gov't support of business during covid 

I'm a small businessman. I welcome government support of my business. And I got needs.

-I need my customers to live.
-I need them to feel there is a future.
-I need them to be able to afford my books
-I need them to receive care while ill
-I need them to still have jobs when they recover from illness
-I need them to be able to afford my books when they recover, rather than drown in medical debt

Yes, government. Please support business.

Because if the pandemic the Berlin Philharmonic is not going to have an audience tonight, and instead will be streaming online live (for free)! The concert is at 8 pm Berlin time today with two repeat performances tomorrow (8pm) and Saturday (7pm).

8 pm on Berlin is 3 pm in the East Coast US.

According to this article I have the best independent coffee shop in Wisconsin. It's based on yelp reviews so I doubt the author has ever tasted my coffee, but that's still kind of neat to see.

While I'd rather not need to use it, kinda glad I got insurance on the April trip.

@mhoye Maybe it's just because it's Florida. What fraction of a box is it if there's a hanging chad?

Competition coffee arrived today. It's in boxes of vacuumed then nitro flushed bags.

Why is Shippo telling me how many packages I sent to Florida with a digit after the decimal point? Do they frequently arrange for the delivery of fractional shipments?

Expecting my competition coffee to arrive today. Unlikely to open that today as it's getting late in the day and I'm very hungry.

There was a 1 in the AAAA record that was a 2 in the middle of the real address.

Wasted a bunch of time working on a server issue. Discovered that somehow one digit of an AAAA record got changed (or the IPv6 address of the server changed by 1 digit in the middle, don't know which) and not everything bothered to fall back to to IPv4 (and the stuff that did, did so really slowly).

@deshipu@mastodon.technology Daylight does the saving of the time. Saving not as in hoarding, but as in liberating. What oppresses time? We may never know.

Got a couple replies to the mailing list message about the new book being out for technical review. One had a question if a topic was covered in the book and I was able to confirm that there is a section on that, but it's also a topic that I wrote about 3 years ago and did a video on about 7-8 years ago, so I linked both of those.
