Lots of the fediverse was proactive in this. I waited until they started making a mess over here. Now that that's happened, buh bye.

@liamcottam@mastodon.technology good cat

Are you a good cat?

re last boost: I got to swim with sharks while doing rainforest studies in Panama ages ago. They were good sharks.

Best Voyager character?

I'm not completely sure, but I think the cat can tell when WiFi is down.

The server that's running on is probably a little too under-powered. It's managed to eat all the swap, <100M free RAM, lots of ENOMEM going on.

My first test use is letting instructors decide which coffee roasting machine they want to use for my next classes. Hopefully they find that this works for them, but if it doesn't I'm prepared to take email replies and fill things in myself. Probably there will be some people who just flag me down at the event and sort it out last minute.

Setting up Collabora was not easy and I'm still not completely sure what eventually got that working, but collaborative editing of LibreOffice documents appears to be working now.

Thinking I might add Collabora Online to that. I have rare use for something like Google Sheets and this looks like it might be a better alternative for me.

Updating my

Did a coffee roasting demo/mini lecture for one of the more recent hires. Followed it up with a tasting to demonstrate why we don't evaluate flavor until the coffee has had several hours of rest.

Talked with the political door knocker today, assured her that I ALWAYS vote, talked about a couple state and national candidates she asked about, etc.

Punk is keeping an eye on me.

@healyn Schedule a 4th duel, stay in the middle, then duck.

Battery chargy thingy seems to work well.

Picked up a big battery so I don't have to worry about losing GPS on the road trip. The cat wants me to carry her around the house.
