Took my sister to the hospital. Nothing too awful I expect, but needs a professional.

Time for the evening cat visit. #catsofmastodon

I have a cake cooling, but it's still too hot to cut.

I made rice crispy treats but they sold out fast.

Making chai concentrate. One of these days I need to scale up the equipment so I can make >4 gallons per batch.

It's cat season in my back yard again.

Quality time with the cat

Was called into work early today for emergency cookie baking. Now I'm enjoying the test production batch of a new coffee and waiting on a coffee research and education committee conference call.

Over lunch I outlined what I'd like a new video series on coffee evaluation to look like and... it's a lot of videos. Still, I think it's worth working on and I've tried to structure it such that I can work on it a little bit at a time as I'm able to make time for it.

Got a BOL for another 800ish pounds of coffee. This one won't need any product development work because it's a shipment from coffee under forward contract (forward contracts with a delivery spread are a common tool to ensure availability of a specific coffee, spread the cost over time, and not need as much on site storage) and I've already gotten some of it. I still have the same amount on contract to ship later in the year.

It's hard to write code with a cat licking your wrist.

Cat visit

New coffee from Kenya is really tasty at a few different roast levels. Making it harder to decide what I want to do with that.

@jamey Agreed.

@jamey Yes, that would be nice to have, but at the same time I'm so glad to be off servers like that. FTP updates run a lot slower and it's easy to end up with things being temporarily broken for people visiting mid-update, especially on larger updates or naive update strategies.

@jamey My preferred setup for something like this is to just have git running on the deployment server and use a hook there to deploy updates on commit to a specified branch. Then deployment just looks like git push origin master. Not quite push button, but pretty close.
