Apparently the platform getting used for my workshop is over-eager to notify presenters and that's why I got weird copy pasta where some of the text looked like my class and some looked like something nobody talked to me about. I'm really only doing just the one workshop. If I become aware of a sign up I'll stick a link in the video description for the trailer and flip that public.

I have a date (May 29) for the online adaptation of the class I was going to be delivering in Portland. I also received notification that I'd been added as a presenter on another class that nobody has talked to me about at all where it looks like the info from my workshop was improperly copy/pasted so I've raised the alert on that so it can get fixed but also to find out if I really am expected to do anything for some class I've never heard of (but which also sounds like it could be good).

Another cat was trying to get into the house today. I've alerted Punk and asked her to inform today's back porch cat that the position of house cat has already been filled.

The cat was so eager to start hsnging out with me on the couch that she knocked over another stack of books while running over. I should really put those back on shelves.

Downloaded the newly free Pac-man and wow, that's a lot of tutorial.

An SD card just forcefully ejected itself from my laptop and flew across the room. It's been a while since I've seen something like that happen.

Finished making the workshop promo video. Letting the PeerTube server do the smaller than 4K versions before I send off the link to that as they'll probably want something smaller for their stream.

Doing promo video editing. The cat makes an appearance.

Got more book feedback today. Very helpful.

They're really pushing for the use of props in the video. Maybe I'll record it at home. Cat counts as a prop, right?

Was asked to put together a 30-60 second promo video for my online workshop. I've got the script for that written now it's just a matter of picking a nice looking quiet space to record that, editing, and the organization that's paying me for this wants an mp4 so I think just uploading it to my PeerTube might be the easiest way to get them appropriate download links at whichever unspecified resolution they want for their stream.

Is it time for ice cream? I feel like it's time for ice cream.

@debugninja@banana.dog Nah, it would conflict with the annual "Mastodon is crumbling because it doesn't replicate these things we hate about other sites" article.

Today I'm staying late at work to roast more coffee. The cat will be disappointed.

The puzzle exchange is starting to look pretty picked over now. Probably a good thing that got moved into a business otherwise considered essential as a lot of people probably have more time to do puzzles and could have a harder time buying them.

@fribbledom fun fact: Typica's C++ core is written in a literate style, though perfectionism clearly isn't evident.

It's time for cat hugs.

Renewed the typica.us domain.
