Cat visit

New coffee from Kenya is really tasty at a few different roast levels. Making it harder to decide what I want to do with that.

A mastodon shirt arrived in the mail yesterday. It still smells bad from printing, but that comes out in the first wash.

This is a case where the download link is really handy. Lots of instructors don't know how to download from legacy tube and terrible Internet connectivity is pretty common at instruction venues so if people are using my stuff like that I'd really prefer them to be able to fetch that in advance rather than break the class flow with technical difficulties.

I'm thinking about maybe doing a new video series on coffee evaluation methods with an emphasis on cupping and its variations. The idea is to do lots of small videos that cover a narrow topic/skill/technique. I know that there are companies out there that use my roasting videos in their training programs, but I think breaking it down into smaller chunks would make it easier to incorporate these into training programs. Might be a good first set of videos to try on peertube.

Figuring out how I want to roast some of the coffees from my most recent delivery.

It looks like I forgot to take a cat photo today.

Anyway, I've got my short list of features I want to work on for 1.9.1 and I'll see how much of that I can manage to get done. The goal here will be to focus on bug fixes, performance improvements, and features that can be implemented without creating any work for translators (no new translatable strings).

Some day I'll have the budget for a decent machine to do dev work on. This one is really not suitable for it (I didn't buy it for that, but when my old machine got smashed something that I had available was better than nothing).

I think I need to put out a 1.9.1 release with that fix, but not today.

Ran into, tracked down, and fixed a bug in Typica. Honestly surprised nobody reported this one or that it didn't bite me sooner.

There's a spider on the ceiling and my cat is fascinated and slightly disturbed by it.

I'd take my dad's cat home with me but she's a jerk toward my cat and doesn't like moving out of her house.

During the extra-early morning cat visit the cat had two sessions of sitting on me and we took a nap. This means I can skip the evening cat visit today and get home to my own cat sooner.

Driver had poor spacial awareness and did a lot of cursing, but I got him through the delivery.

Coffee delivery is here. Driver is making more work for himself than he needs to, but whatever.

There's a DNS propagation checker that shows success everywhere except Mumbai, but they don't have a check for Racine, WI.

Provisioned another server to do some exploratory dev stuff. Now I'm waiting both for my coffee delivery (should be arriving within the next couple hours) and for DNS propagation.

Today I was woken up because the morning shift couldn't figure out how to get the charge terminal working. I specifically asked if it was plugged in before going in, but yeah, it wasn't plugged in. Doing the cat visit early.
