The first thing is average rate of change through the range. Very easy calculation. The other thing that I'm thinking is percent breakdowns which nobody should be doing with roasting data, but I've had some thoughts on how to make those metrics less trash so I'll implement a couple variations on that and see what users think about it.

Started adding some new features that I've been thinking about lately. I'd previously combined the batch timer display with some other secondary displays and changed the range timers to something with more information density. Now I'm thinking that multi-range display could sensibly be extended to include various other kinds of batch statistics where it's useful to show that separately for different parts of the roast. The easiest way to add that looks kind of ugly, but I'll make it work first.

Finally got the new coffees up for sale on the web site. I still need to update the wholesale list and get a sample out to a company that expressed interest in one of the new arrivals before I had it.

I kind of miss when there was a shop across the street that offered sewing lessons. We'd get people bringing their sewing machines into the shop to do their homework at the last minute before class.

Someone brought their mechanical typewriter to the shop today. It's been a while since I've heard that sound.

It would be nice if the parking cops would knock it off with the flashing lights when people could reasonably be trying to sleep. Of course, better still would be scrapping the idiotic ordinance they're currently abusing in a fundraising scam. I complained at politicians when I saw them pulling this nonsense last year.

The overpriced comment is not a knock on quality (which is very good) or value, just that customers are going to look at the price, look at the size of the thing, and decide to not buy it from me. I'm sure there are other shops with customers who would go for it.

Decided to add another chocolate bar supplier that one of the sales reps we buy other stuff from also handles. He's been trying to sell us on them for a while now and while their small things are egregiously overpriced (so I'm not ordering any of that) for my customers, their full sized bars are priced reasonably for the level of quality and I think it's a good time to bring something new in and see how it does. This will also make the dark chocolate fans happy. Several new options for them.

Oh joy, I guess I'm learning how to deal with docker now (or rather, I fixed my issue and will now promptly forget all of that)
