Wisconsin sales tax holiday at the start of August. Thankfully, I don't sell anything it applies to so I won't have to reprogram the registers and then do it again a few days later. https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Individuals/SalesTaxHoliday.aspx

Thought of a good name while I was buying cat food but the domain was already taken by a squatter and I refuse to reward that kind of behavior.

Daily #cat visit.

Wish I had better quality copies of some of these images.

If you need to send an email out to lots of people who don't need to talk to each other about that, please consider using the bcc field. That's what it's for.

If you receive an email that was sent to lots of people separately listed in the to field, please consider carefully if you really need to reply to all of them or if it's fine to just reply to the original sender (odds are really good reply all is the wrong choice).

I need to name a thing.

The port adapter connected to my computer right now runs very hot. I suppose I should keep that in mind in case I find myself in need of a left hand warmer and there isn't a cat available to do the job.

as opposed to normal email that doesn't have any computers involved at all.

census.gov wants me to create an account and I have to wonder what they think the threat model is to justify 5 security questions and a 12 character password.

Put the new license plate sticker on. Apparently I never did that last year. I think it arrived in a rainy stretch and I forgot about it once things dried out.

Eating dinner with Dad's cat.

I just like when I can look at a code base and tell where it's doing something.

Oh dear, it looks like I really am building a new web app in C++.

I can't figure out how to train my cat to give back massages.

I should make a compilation album of noises my cat makes.

Daily #cat visit.

Today is stressful.

If you're saying something like coffee shouldn't taste like coffee, please do everybody a favor and stop pretending you want to be in the coffee business. Apply yourself to something you enjoy rather than try to ruin things for people with taste.
