The cat complained at me when I got home from work because she wasn't awake yet when I left so she missed out on her morning cuddles.

Today I've been redesigning some stuff and I'm trying to hit the right defaults as on the one hand the new design could be a lot more powerful than the old design and on the other hand I don't want people to need to read the manual for the most common use cases.

Last night I set a new personal best for damage per screenshot with Qiqi (personal best for that particular character, not overall). I think I might be able to squeeze out a bigger hit with better play.

@mhoye Can I control what's on both sides of the network connection? If so, no problem. If not, that's going to become a problem.

Disappointed to discover that my box of ice cream sandwiches was empty.

I saw on the calendar that National Bosses Day is coming up and as a boss I just have to wonder WTF do we need that for?

This is also something they can take with them if they decide to seek employment elsewhere.

Two employees recently passed their food safety manager exams for the first time. That's a cert that the business covers for employees who want that even if it's not required for their role. The shop is required to have at least one person with that cert, but my view is that it's better for more people on staff to know the relevant food safety regulations.

@Taweret Be sure to spend all your gold before doing that as the king will take half of it.

Had some thoughts on practical mitigations for a common Typica feature request that I've resisted trying to implement on account of it generally not being possible and in some cases veering into the territory of unreliable and unsafe. Still not 100% on the UI for this but I've put some thoughts on the roadmap because I think I can do something useful on that front which will be better than just ignoring the problem.

My yogurt got crushed somehow so I'm eating that early so it doesn't go bad.

@yomimono If it fits in the back of your car, it's portable.

New coffees have been added to the web site.

@mhoye This reminds me of my grandfather. He kept a Coleco Adam running well into the 1990s (it did everything he wanted a computer to do) until he couldn't find more machines to scavenge replacement parts from. My uncle passed along an already obsolete DOS PC as a replacement which he did not get along with at all, at which point my family got him an iMac which he did better with, but the existence of hidden files had him perpetually convinced the thing was stuffed full of viruses.

There's a cat on my lap.

One thing that I will say is that the attribute he identified as what he wanted to cut out is completely absent in the coffee.

Auto drip was not one of the recommended brewing methods for the coffee so I'll probably use the last of it on an aeropress which is on the recommended brewing method list.

As an auto drip brew, there's some unpleasant mustiness to it and an overall deficiency in intensity, but as the coffee cools the more positive attributes become easier to pick out and match the description on the bag. Personally, I'd probably roast this a little darker and change up the profile timing to make the stuff I like about the coffee more obvious, though I get the sense that the machine this was roasted on has less of an ability to use unorthodox profiles this coffee would benefit from

Got a bag of coffee from someone who asked for some roasting advice a while back so I'm brewing a pot of that now. There's also some cupping that needs to get done and a web site update that needs to get finished.

The cat thinks I should skip dinner and burn down the kitchen so she can keep sitting on me, but she would regret that since her food stuff is also in the kitchen.
