There's a cat on my chest.

It's a cat.

Tooted from the old phone which of course continues to work fine for anything that isn't a phone call.

New phone arrived and can confirm rings when called. Made a point of checking that it takes the same size SIM as the old one so it was just pop the card out of the old one and into the new one.

@mhoye Those platforms aren't going to burn themselves, I guess.

(What I'd really love to see is an updated version of the Nokia N900. I got 2 of those and didn't put phone service on either, but the combination of stylus, slide out keyboard, and my own custom software made it great for things like capturing observations at the cupping table.)

Ordered a replacement phone. I hate phones, but it's not so bad if I think of them as tiny personal computers. Of course that means anything that tries too hard to get in the way of me putting software that I write for myself onto my own device is a non-starter. Picked a pretty green one.

Fire inspectors inspected. They didn't mention anything about the fire I was using at the time so I assume everything was fine.

3d printer broke. It's a pretty old one so now I need to decide if I want to attempt repairing it, get a replacement, or both.

Cheese has been acquired.

I'm going to eat cheese.

One thing that's particularly interesting is that I already have a sensor hooked up on my roaster and full access to modify the code interpreting that data such that I might be able to apply some of their results to live feedback during the roast. I don't have the time to work on that immediately, but hopefully later this year I can do something with that. No guarantee that work will turn into something useful.

Saw a preliminary write up on some research that I was asked for feedback regarding last year. Was glad to see that the researchers have taken my advice.

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.
