Got caught up in editing and ended up realizing that I should have been in bed hours ago and dinner has worn off.

This is important because it sets aside a bunch of stuff that I'll explicitly not use to block getting what's already a useful update out the door.

I haven't uploaded the CRUCS 1.2.0 release quite yet, but I have figured out the feature set I intend to work on for CRUCS 1.3.0.

It looks like teachers are getting lots of coffee for teacher appreciation week.

The company hosting this server apparently went crazy and thought the only payment info they had was a card that expired two years ago that they had been using just fine until this month. Also fixed a health insurance payment that auto-pay failed to bother trying to collect and was I guess just not going to bother mentioning anything to me about that.

@Taweret Remember to avoid talking about the game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball.

Looking in the backyard, it seems that it's cat season again.

I saw an incredibly fat bee today.

@mike That looks like something I might enjoy. I'll check it out.

And then there are the shows that were never intended to fill a wide screen television so they zoomed in on the middle of something with hard titles so you can't read the first half of every episode title and most but not quite all of the song lyrics have fallen off the bottom of the screen.

Some shows that had English translated versions of their OP/ED kept the original instead even when using the English audio otherwise (that's generally the right decision as song localization is hard to do well and for the most part these were awkward) So I get to wonder if current rights holders just didn't get the English song rights and couldn't use those, or if someone looked at both and made a choice to roll that back.

So a while back I let Amazon give me the free prime which I'll be canceling because it's not worth it for me (YMMV) but in the meantime why not see what's on Prime Video? Current rights holders are making questionable choices with their 90s anime line up.

Went home for lunch after evaluating 2 production test roasts and adjusting 5 blend recipes. The cat appreciated the extra time to sit on me.

As for the medium roast, that's a closer match, which is good since I have advance orders on that and wouldn't want to have to go back to those customers and tell them that a coffee I thought would be very similar to what they tasted has turned out very different and have to renegotiate those sales.

Tasting production test batches for coffees made from the new lot of Brazilian coffee. I sell this both as a medium roast and it's usually the coffee that becomes labeled French Roast. The darker of these is slightly milder than the previous lot, but the overall flavor profile is right and I don't think there's much to do about the slight reduction in intensity that wouldn't throw things off worse.

@gnomon You should never have just one.

Just noticed that a metal part of my left shoe has been warped beyond repair. Whatever did that must have been enough force that I'd think I'd notice if I had been wearing the shoe at the time so although I have no idea how she would have done it, I'm blaming the cat. Rather disappointed. The rest of the shoe is still in pretty good condition, but I'll need to replace that before I take any kind of non-remote training/consulting gig.

@mntmn Maybe skip the clown episode.

Now that I have access to a Mac that can run a version of Safari new enough for CRUCS, I'm able to notice that they've got a minor rendering bug that I didn't see on iOS. The next version update will include a little more CSS that as near as I can see has no visible effect in Firefox and presumably other browsers that were already doing the right thing but gets Safari to also do the right thing.
