Chocolate cupcake (with cream cheese goop in the middle and a nut topping) for breakfast. It's one that's too old to sell but I'm certainly still willing to eat it.

Ordered the season's supply of Girl Scout cookies. Kid of a long time regular customer.

@Taweret 5 is too many. I only know MISSINGNO.

Cat happens.

Why am I getting NFT spam? How did I end up on that sucker list?

Worked out a couple new coffee blends using the new coffee from Sulawesi. I'll probably need to do more blend reworks in the upcoming week when the Brazil switches over to the new lot.

The cat thinks my elbow is a comfy pillow.

@Zerofactorial @Taweret A common misconception. Royal refers to the main ingredient of the jelly.

On the early sips this time there's a broad range from cups 4 (very start of 2C) to 8 (out of 10 which is a bit beyond a French Roast) where I think a roaster could credibly choose any of those, but I do need to consider my existing customer base for that coffee and I also like to use it in blends in ways that will push my decision toward the darker side.

This time around the lighter side is less uninteresting than usual, especially in the aromatics and I'm getting some black pepper earlier in the progression than usual, though there's still that boost in hedonics out past 2nd crack.

This is a mark that I've carried for well over a decade now and it's pretty consistent in terms of what I get out of it. The way this usual works is that the light and medium roasts are fairly uninteresting, but around where shops in the 1990s would call it Vienna Roast the flavor really opens up with interesting spice notes and a bit of sweetness.

I'm likely to want to go with a dark roast on this, but I've got a few cups with light roasts, a few cups with medium roasts because the way I do things there's no down side to checking and you'll never find interesting roasts in places you never look.

Time to try the initial exploratory roast of the new coffee from Sulawesi.

I probably won't delay release of the next version to get the new feature in. I'll just finish up the feature that I've been working on, get that out the door, then start on the newly roadmapped feature.

Added another feature to the CRUCS roadmap. The UI details aren't fully worked out in my head yet.

@Taweret This is why I just treat those as secondary passwords. Sadly, lots of places don't allow those to be equivalently secure, but the answers can be logically disjoint from the question. Never answer those things honestly.

Initial exploratory roast of the new coffee from Sulawesi is done and ready to taste tomorrow. Based on the initial fragrance I'm looking at probably something still quite dark but perhaps not as dark as the previous lot. The Brazil will need to wait until I've roasted the last of the previous lot. That'll be some time within the next couple weeks.

Got coffee from one of my suppliers (more Brazil and Sulawesi), ordered more coffee from another supplier (Costa Rica).

New SSD is installed and receiving files.

The cat is upset that I was late coming home from work today.
