Business was on the slow side during the event as we needed to shut down the seating area due to COVID cases being higher than they've ever been locally, but we ended up raising $823 for the food bank. It was $803, but there was a customer while I was updating staff and she tossed another $20 in the box.

The cat thinks I should spend less time writing software and more time petting the cat. I'm doing some work from home days this week so she's seeing more of me than usual.

Note to self: never read the comments on news sites. (why do news sites even have comment sections?)

The cat needed a hug this morning.

My shop is once again closing the seating area. Hate to do it, but with case and hospitalization levels where they are it would be irresponsible not to.

There was a big cat at the back of my yard this morning.

Removed Holiday Blend from the web site. I don't intend to make any more of this year's recipe.

Are you ready for Inventory Day?

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe Only if the H is capitalized.

@satur@fosstodon.org I have one server running Gitea, but my preference is to not bother with having any extra web interface on top at all. Just plain git on a server.

Is there a shorter word for the copy and paste equivalent of a typo?

Removed a copy-and-paste-o from the web site (extra + character because I was copying from a patch describing an update made last year and failed to delete one).

Details of the New Year's fundraiser have been added to the web site. https://wilsonscoffee.com/

Removed the closed Christmas blurb from the website.

I guess I'm done using that arm now.

My shop ended up on another one of the best coffee shops in all 50 states listicles, but since those alphabetize on state and I'm in Wisconsin, nobody is going to see that. Of course, all these lists lack credibility anyway as it's done by aggregating reviews and other lists with nobody actually checking the places out and using a rubric or even authorial judgement. But yeah, if you're in the area you should totally buy my coffee. It's the best.

One of my orders recently shipped with a sample pack from $UNNAMED_BIG_COFFEE_CORP and reading the marketing text all I can say is that I've worked with enough of the people making that product to know that not only is the marketing text a lie (who would have guessed?) but the company also has sensible well documented policies in place that only make sense if the marketing text is un-true.

The Illinois Tollway says I should give the gift of a road toll transponder. I will not be doing that.
