Something seems out of place.

Why do so many coffee articles lately use stock photography of people who have been served drinks with upside down latte art? (the base of the design should face the person drinking it)

One of the things that I'd really like to do for the 1.9.1 release is improve the quality of the documentation. I've got an outline of what I want to see but it's a lot of writing.

Stay home, play with the cat.

I made a little video about my favorite new feature in PeerTube beta 9. https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/1bc870de-8296-4c6f-8f7b-c390e7eba136

I don't watch a lot of TV news but when I do I see that nobody responsible for the visuals knows the difference between "wave" and "waive".

code editors with auto-indent as a rule have trash defaults for switch blocks

Pricked a finger doing yard work this morning. I should probably get some gloves.

Had to detour around a bouncy house on the way home.

Spent some time with a coffee farmer visiting from Guatemala. He knew that I wasn't looking for a new supplier but we roasted and cupped his coffee and had a good conversation about that.

Air conditioner at work isn't keeping up and I'm drinking hot coffee because that's an important part of my job. Recently switched to a new lot of coffee from Costa Rica, designed 2 roasts. I can now confirm that the production test batches are delicious.

I have bonus slides that can get worked into the lecture proper, but hopefully I can also get more student interaction/questions/&c. from this group. The group in April was pretty shy.

It looks like I need to add another half hour to my lecture for the class I'm teaching in August.

I think there's already a merged PR that adds that.

Tried out time tracking last night. Maybe I'll use it more when aggregate stats are easier to get at. https://code.typica.us/neal/Typica/issues/2

After work I want to make myself a big sandwich. I have materials to do that at home.

Today I put together a holiday chocolate order because if you want snowmen you order those in June. Fun fact: chocolate reindeer are really just chocolate bunnies with different printing on the wrapper. The catalog seems to have a much larger selection of boozy chocolate than usual. I ordered none of it.

The rules help keep the worst pols away and keep them from being too disruptive, though some of them attract very large crowds. This one has more equipment (lights, &c) than usual.
