Needed to shut down the coffee roaster for unscheduled maintenance because it's better to do that as soon as a problem starts rather than wait for thing to catch on fire.

I heard someone on the radio say pandademic and I think that would be better.

Decided to not go with a 100% shell implementation for server side on selling the ebook. For logging purchases to the database I've decided to go with C++ so I don't need to figure out how to avoid shell quoting problems while preventing injection attacks. That program, of course, is still called from a shell script.

CGI in bash: Let's be real, you don't need to scale.

Despite efforts by state politicians to suppress the vote, I voted. One of the options is drive through voting, but I opted to get out of the car and use the single outdoor voting booth that was getting sanitized between each vote.

Wore the mask while out at the post office and grocery store. I'm going to act as though this changes nothing for risk profiles and will treat it as a fashion accessory. If it does offer protection for anybody, that's just a bonus.

Some of the coffee going out in the mail today was also roasted today and is going to an address close enough that I wouldn't be surprised if they got it tomorrow. Then I'm out of milk at home so I guess I'll try out the new dinosaur mask.

My sister made me a dinosaur topography mask.

Nope, it was pretty random, usually fixed within a few hours. When it was my own sites some would work and not others even for things living in the same datacenter.

Firefox's DNS over HTTPS has been causing random breakage for random sites (can't find the server). Turning it off, everything works again.

So much paperwork today. Payroll for Friday done, bills paid, sent unemployment corrections for another person who got laid off from a job they got after leaving my shop (nothing that would mess up their claim), sent money to the food bank, &c.

Dinner was extra spicy.

My sister is making masks out of leftover fabric scraps, mostly from skirts. The first one has bats on it. She's a big fan of bats.

tfw everything you're cooking finishes at the same time.

Train ticket refund posted to the credit card, so that's helpful.

Reminder to smile at your chocolate.

The cat hid my shoes.

Ordered another several hundred pounds of coffee. That's a smaller order than I'd ordinarily like. One coffee is the last of what I already had on contract. The other is getting pulled from one of my supplier's other customers who's long on their position in light of current events.
