Web site update won't be today after all. We're just waiting on a return email from the food bank to make sure they're good with our plans and hammer out the final details, but the tentative plan is that we'll donate 20% of all sales on January 2-3 (and 20% of orders through the web site January 1-3, the shop will be closed on the 1st) as well as having an easy way for customers to leave food and money in the week prior.

@kevinwhipwrecked Depends on where the recipe comes from. For most contemporary recipes out of the US a half cup is about 120ml (4 fluid ounces)

Finalizing plans for the New Year's fundraiser. Should have a web site update with that information before the end of the day.

cat: what you're doing is great, but have you considered that you could be using this time to pet the cat?

And my grant application (WI DOR program for small businesses) got approved today, so that's helpful.

With the boxes that went out today, November has officially been my best month yet for sales through the web site. The previous best was back in April. It's also more than 9 times November web sales last year.

This time of year when it's getting dark before I get home I wonder if the cat would prefer I keep a light on for her or if she's fine being alone in the dark.

web site/app idea that I won't make, please steal: catchat - meet adoptable shelter cats in your area

The cat has decided that it's time for me to pet the cat.

Spent some time designing some new features for the shop's web store and working out how that's going to impact the database that drives that. I tried to minimize changes to existing tables and it looks like I only need to add one new column to one existing table. Everything else can be done with more tables, which I'm going to prefer on this project.

I have one of those tiny little USB storage thingies that's small enough I can keep it plugged into my laptop most of the time, but I recently noticed that it's really hard to pull out of other devices so I've tied a phone charm on it which makes that much easier to handle. I had one featuring Nisa that came with a video game (Disgaea 4, I think) still sitting unused in its original packaging. Usability has greatly improved.

Videos showing bugs in games go to my PeerTube server and not to other platforms because every so often a publisher goes insane and if they're going to pull that with me again they'll have to do it on my turf. Here's an unintentional glitch in Death end re;Quest 2. Pro tip: don't name your kid Rotten.

Every time there's another Genshin Impact survey I use it as another opportunity to press for adding the ability to pet the cats and dogs. They look up to the traveler and clearly want some attention.

Thanksgiving food with the cat plan: a fresh batch of samosas, a chicken pot pie, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

I've lost track. How many months has it been Black Friday this year so far?

Somehow ended up breaking a scene in Death end re;Quest 2. Text failed to appear, but turning on auto continue moved the scene along despite the lack of text/voice. Skip scene was also still an option. The scene worked fine on the first play through. Might upload the glitch later. Also, changing the opening movie after you win was a nice touch.
