Extra annotations on the previous set of graphs I posted. The old version was made in LibreOffice while this one is mostly my own code but the larger sized text was plopped in with The GIMP.

I thought I had one bug to fix, but it turns out I had two.

Lately I've been working on a new French Roast since I've run out of the coffee I was using for that. Evaluated the production test batch today and it's quite excellent (provided you like a good French Roast, if you hate very dark roasts you won't like it).

This morning the smol cat was in my driveway. It ran under my car when it saw me coming so I needed to be extra careful to make sure it was safe to leave.

There's a smol cat in the back yard.

Also learned that the building that used to have the local furniture store has been bought by a martial arts place. I'm optimistic about that development and expect them to be good for my business (the parents can have a coffee while the kids have their lessons, happened a lot back when we had a dance studio a similar distance away).

Just got an email from my ISP saying they've made my Internet connection faster. Sadly, no mention of upload speeds which is really the only kind of upgrade I'd likely notice. Downloads were plenty fast enough, but I'll take the free upgrade.

Some example data that I pulled together for an upcoming coffee roasting class. The top section shows the temperature of the coffee and inlet air, from which you can get a good sense of the control strategy in play. Below that is rate of change of the coffee temperature. Then below that is a visual spectrum (roaster camera) approximation of the Agtron gourmet scale roast level over time which isn't saturated out of range at the start because this is a decaf coffee which already starts out brown.

The cat has taken one of my hair ties to her box. It was getting worn out anyway so she can have it.

Government screwed up big time when they changed the rules and let dairies claim that ice milk is really ice cream.

Switched from the grocery store that kept dropping the stuff I had switched to them to buy in the first place back to my previous grocery store which brought in new flavors of a local ice cream I like (one where the top ingredient is cream).

Despite the estimated ship date being moved earlier previously, now I've got a new estimated ship date on some hardware I ordered in April of end of November. I may have to just give up on that company and assume the hardware doesn't really exist.

@mhoye They're not even trying to hide what it is with a name like soylent green.

Pretty sure cricket is purely a fantasy of some rogue sports news generating AI and we're going along with it because movies have taught us that crossing the AI never ends well for us ugly sacks of mostly water.

I haven't done all the web site updates that are needed yet, but the new coffees from Yemen, Java, and Kenya are up for sale along with a Mocha Java Blend. https://wilsonscoffee.com/coffeelist.html

You, yes YOU, could be hugging a cat RIGHT NOW!

Updated the project site for Typica to better reflect the current reality of the project. https://typica.us/

YouTube has decided to demonetize my channel. If they don't value my content they don't need to show it. I've marked everything private or unlisted, deleted the playlists, and recommend watching at https://video.typica.us instead.

Tasting the new coffee from Java. I'm tempted to put on the label that it's a very coffee coffee, but I won't.
