Today I provided email support to someone who is using a version of my software that's over 6 years old. I think he'd benefit from upgrading to the latest version (I've added a lot of useful stuff in the past 6 years) but it's his choice and if he wants to just move the old version that's working for him onto a new computer, there's nothing wrong with that.

Got 2 butt dials from a contractor doing some work on my house.

It reminds me of the time I got a butt dial from Dubai. I never did ask that guy what his phone plan was like. That could have been an expensive mistake.

A marketing company wanted pictures of some caffé lattés (they're working for another company in the area doing some kind of client gift via phone app thing. The company they're working for requested bringing my company in and I've decided to let them try that) so now I have all these lattés to drink.

Roaster is back in the US. If it weren't for customs it could get delivered tomorrow, but I'm not counting on that.

Will the Raspberry Pi 4 make 2019 the year of dual 4K screens on the Linux coffee roaster?

Found the last of the three hidden rooms I missed in Bloodstained. The last one was hidden under a floor and contained a Santa Hat.

Next up there are 8 demons that I haven't gotten all the drops from yet. Six of them should be easy enough to farm but the other two take longer to get to between attempts and one of them is still dangerous.

Grocery store added another ice cream where the first ingredient is cream. It was a mistake when the government let big dairy take ice milk and sell it as ice cream.

Today there's an anatomy puzzle.

This is a lot better now. Not perfect, but I was able to delete a ton of code that didn't need to exist.

Espresso machine manufacturer called to get a bit of info about the new machine that's on the way and a phone number for the place that's doing the install. Assuming there aren't any problems that turn up they'll ship the machine to the installer and once they have it they'll call me to set up a time to come out and put that in. So there's progress there.

Fixed. Uninitialized member. Was getting set to nullptr with a debugger attached but not without.

So I tried cleaning this code up and now the program crashes instead of working UNLESS there's a debugger attached, at which point everything works perfectly.

The cat seems to think it's VERY IMPORTANT to notice that the cat is a cute cat.

It's interesting to go over to the puzzle shelf and see what's there. The puzzles that come back aren't always the same as the puzzles that leave so there's a steady supply of new ones.
