It's not the nicest looking green coffee, but it can taste great.

Time to figure out how I want to roast this #coffee.

Coffee arrived. Unfortunately I wasn't here to tell the driver to not block the door. That makes it harder to bring in and it's a potential safety issue.

running cat is loud

daily cat

Google has been pretty messed up the past couple days. YouTube says that on the 9th my videos only had 21 views (that's missing somewhere between 100-200) but AdSense is claiming that on those 21 views they served 253 ad impressions (for an average of just over 12 ads per view, which I'm pretty sure didn't really happen). The view count/watch time for that date used to be higher (in line with what's normal for my channel).

I'll probably ditch that platform eventually.

cat

A web server that only returns status codes 400 and 404, but does it very fast.

boost.beast is actually pretty nice.

Too much cat. Time for allergy meds.

piano cat

Tonight's plan: cat cuddles and code. I should probably figure out a dinner as well.

How many hours will it take to "upgrade" a file that's only a couple hundred MB (would be much smaller if the file weren't polluted with garbage that's faster to compute in a delegate than query from the database)?

QuickBooks for Mac
pro: uses SQLite3 for data storage
con: nobody who knows how to SQL worked on that so their schema is a badly performing steaming pile of hacks.

If Typica development seems slow, it's because I'm putting my development time into paid work. A lot of that (hopefully all) will eventually make it into Typica at some point, but right now it's all wrapped up in NDAs.

There's a Send Money link in my bio here that people can use to help me spend more time on stuff that I can share immediately, but so far that's just barely covering hosting costs and I like to eat.

I am at least a little hopeful that I'll be able to bring them around since they're talking to me (someone who is known to put permissive licenses on code) instead of proprietary shops.
