That's getting some dark roast flavor but not to the point that I'm losing body and the sweet apricot note really pops here. Flavors continue to hold up as the coffee cools.

Each cup was delicious so the new coffee from Sumatra makes the cut for things to recommend to home roasters (you can end the roast about anywhere and won't have messed up too badly), but I want something around here to sell.

@gnomon and she knows it

Figuring out how I want to roast new coffee from yesterday's delivery.

Someone commented that my cat was adorable but then they deleted their comment.

Is Punk fediverse famous yet?

@yomimono Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'd probably go for the little sleeper.

Apparently parrot.vc generated, "With a powerful narrative, you should be able to go from raw materials to a launch ready vehicle in 60 days." I'd like to remind everybody that that's pretty much how Patchouli built her moon rocket.

Sometimes I wonder if the cat is copying me or if I'm just being cat-like. As a child I was raised by a cat so either is plausible.

I saw the cat playing with luggage and when she noticed I was looking at her she looked straight at me and went *MEOW*

@eldaking It's time for another Good Idea Bad Idea.

Good Idea: Connecting devices to the Internet.

Bad Idea: Connecting devices to their corporate overlords by way of the Internet so they can deliver less than half a product that starves the cat when they have technical difficulties.

@Satsuma I just tried this and could get no visible feedback on option selection from the keyboard but could click the vote button. Could just be me not knowing what I'm doing, though. In my case there's also xdotool from the command line, but it's hard to estimate the screen coordinates of the things you want to click on, though I suppose you could make rulers to tape to the sides of the screen and tie a washer to a bit of string to measure that to get your command line arguments.

Got to talk about hot pot at work today. That's the meal that got me to learn how to use chopsticks. I looked at that and said something like, "I don't see how that's going to work if I don't learn to use chopsticks," so that's what I did.

Just got the code for free attendance at my next event since I'm teaching a class there. Unless something else comes up super last minute before then my next event is in Portland, OR this April. I'm considering taking the train since Amtrak runs a Chicago to Portland route and I've never done such a long trip by rail.
