My sister says the cat got on a scale while I was out of town and she's a 14 pound cat.

@OldBrushNewPaper Thanks

bored cat

dinner was not enough food

Needs soy sauce

I'm making shrimp in dinner and the cat is yelling at me.

Got the feedback forms for my class. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology It's easier to do stuff like this if you get a group in the same place (so rather than whole apples it can be apple slices and split the cost). Alternately, hang out with sensory scientists.

Did the (I hope) final Typica 1.9.1 builds. I'll be doing deployment testing later today and then that should be available to download in the usual place.

Windows users on 1.9.1rc1 can safely ignore this (no functional changes). Linux users with HiDPI screens or who don't stick to their default system themes might want to track the development branch for a little while as I'm fixing stuff related to themes and HiDPI.

Grocery store printed out a coupon at checkout today. This freshly printed coupon expired 5 days ago.

It seems like every time I read the communications manual for another device that speaks modbus I run into another way the protocol gets abused that needs special case handling in software.

Went into work early to finish up some stuff only to find that my staff did all the stuff I was going to take care of.

Cat recommends petting the cat.

Airline sent an email apologizing for the delay. That's nice, I guess, but there was a pretty bad storm at the destination and the weather control technologies we have are not exactly free of consequences.

Everybody waited to place their wholesale orders until after I was back in town.

@joereddington Right, but if you've already decided that you're not going to talk to someone, why waste their time?

Why would you agree to be transferred to someone who can answer your questions only to refuse to ask them because the person isn't the one named (who you've been told you need to call early in the day if you must talk to them [you don't]) on your paper? There's something about stereotypical office work that rots the brain, I think.
