Other news: I have my repaired car back and one of my coffee deliveries arrived with about 900 pounds of coffee on it. That includes the Guatemalan coffee that I removed from the web site so I wouldn't accidentally sell too much of that. I've roasted a test batch of that so I have 12 roast levels to taste tomorrow and figure out what I want to do with that. If all goes well, I should be able to make the new lot available for sale some time on Sunday (if things don't go well, it will take longer)

It turns out that the addition of the fan increased power draw too much for the aux computer, but I grabbed a powered usb hub from home and now it works again.

Roaster cam is reinstalled, now with a giant heat sink and a fan.

@Taweret@octodon.social @jaybird amphibian, not fish. Remember, Worf has a fetish for frog girls.

Yesterday I sent the roaster cam back to Madison for the next round of hardware updates and now UPS says I can expect to see that returned to me tomorrow. It's coming back to me with a big heat sink and fan hacked on the end which should help a lot with measurement consistency from batch to batch and make it easier for me to work my signal processing mojo to get a more useful measurement stream out of the system.

Having some kringle. The bakery across the street ran out of half & half so they bartered a kringle for the 7 ounces of that they needed.

Uploading the new video. It'll take a while.

Freight generally is moving more slowly right now, and with that combined with my current orders coming from farther away than they often do, it's going to take some time for the new coffees to show up on the shelves. I'm going to need to figure out some possibly short term blend substitutions for blends that I decide to not just sell out of. I've already removed some offerings from the web site so I don't accidentally sell too much of coffees I won't be able to ship promptly.

Tonight the cat has requested all the cuddles.

My car is expected to be ready to pick up some time on Friday assuming the parts show up on schedule. Insurance is covering most of the repair costs, so in all not too awful. Of course, it would have been better had the inattentive speeder not slammed into the back of my car.

Frog bag is almost empty.

Bought another 2500ish pounds of coffee today as planned. Some is coming from the east coast, some is coming from the west coast, so all of it will take longer to show up than when the coffee is warehoused in Madison.

Me sitting down in front of any DAW: where is anything?

Firis' Tent utilizes the same sort of technology that allows entire villages, castles, and dungeons to exist in only one square of an overworld map in a lot of the old 8/16 bit console RPGs.

Now that YouTube is sort of willing to tell me where that massive spike in views on an old video came from, they're claiming it's from Google search (keywords undisclosed), and now I'm wondering why a couple hundred people would suddenly decide in the same half day to search for and watch a thing I made 8 years ago.

Dropped off the car at the repair shop. I'll be borrowing someone else's car for probably at least a week.

@goat@hellsite.site Have you considered calling it a guild instead?

@professor_stoke @evelynyap That's okay, I've taught heat transfer classes so this is not something unfamiliar.
