I'll be doing similar things for other kinds of measurements. Kind of excited about this. The design sketches and draft implementations look very good and it seems like an obvious direction for this kind of software to move in, yet at the same time it doesn't look like any of the competing software that's popped up since I first released mine is exploring anything in this space.

Lately I've been getting a good amount of time to work on a rewrite of the software I use at the coffee roaster. Today I'm redesigning the indicators that show timing information to consolidate all the different kinds of timing data into a single display panel while also allowing more options for customization.

Meanwhile my sister has been having the problems of chipmunks deciding to explore her drier vent, getting stuck at the bottom, and then not getting in the live trap so she can let them go back outside. She's installed a mesh to hopefully prevent more from getting in.

Bad cat allergies today. I spent last night fixing up her ear which she managed to rip open. That's healing nicely, but she probably won't learn to be more gentle with stuff.

My latest pyro Qiqi build can do pretty good damage with her elemental skill. Maybe I'll try maxing that out in a cryo build some time.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe Is two separate work PCs an option? Keep Windows on one, put Linux on the other, and just do each thing on whichever machine it's easiest on?

Looking at some old code as reference for what I'm writing today and I'm running into some instances of, "why would I have done it that way?" Will go for the obviously more efficient approach this time around. Pretty sure I was just rushing through a fairly boring chunk of code and as long as it worked I just moved on to the next thing.

@sean I think I just skipped too many versions. Will try pushing it forward one release at a time and see if I run into the problem again.

Failed up upgrade PeerTube. Switched back to an old release to get things back to working and will look into that more later.

@Stuxhost Third panel: My code no longer works. I have no idea how it ever did.

New higher drink prices went into effect today (the old menu board was drawn by someone who moved on to her next thing 5 years ago so it's time), but we're also increasing the bring your own cup discount.

Not a prepper but kind of see the appeal of just moving into a secret underground bunker.

@gnomon Another person also saw them, so I think it was a real thing.

I don't know what was going on, but the largest group of tandem bicycles I've ever seen just went past my shop. Most of them seemed to be wearing race gear.

Someone just walked into the shop without a mask. We asked if they had one, offered to give them one of ours, but instead he said, "lost another sale," and walked out. Dude, it's a city ordinance. Stop trying to break the law here.

A bunch of people came out to the shop this morning to present the business with a giant novelty check (and cash since nobody will accept giant novelty checks as a deposit). Kind of glad I missed it because nobody needs to be taking pictures of me with my eye swollen with cat allergy.

@requiem Because instead of something like literate programming (and one might assume some improvement in programming literacy) we're lucky if we can even get something like javadoc. We don't code for humans to read so humans don't read much code.

Github calls their mascot octocat, but it doesn't have 8 of anything. They should call it catsquid instead.

I should order a pizza.
