More mugs arrived.

One of my suppliers has shipping practices that are completely insane. Highest rate of things arriving broken of any supplier I deal with. They know they're awful at this so they're really good about dealing with us not paying for broken stuff. I'd think it would be more profitable to do things like use a little packing material, make sure outer cases are properly taped, but this is how they've always done it and they don't seem interested in fixing their shipping issues.

The problem with holidays is that when I have the day off I forget to make coffee. Now it's 7:19PM and I haven't had any yet today. Clearly it's time for an espresso.

Make it safe and sane.

If someone wants to talk about baseball with you and you have no clue, just tell them that you don't have the express written consent of major league baseball. MLB's claim is ridiculous, but it gives you an out.

Nothing kills an Uta Macross session like the orientation sensors deciding you've flipped the device upside down mid-song on higher difficulty levels when you're on track to full combo.

The site update that will happen with the 1.9.1 release is going to add recurring payment support so people who want to support ongoing development of Typica financially can choose between 1 time payments (just like are currently available) and monthly payments.

I hope that some day the people who want me to improve free software I've written will collectively provide me with a budget that I can use to cover costs associated with that work.

Any time I'm working on code on and off over an extended amount of time before testing I get unreasonably excited when that works exactly as expected.

Enjoying a nice oolong tea.

Browser spell checker doesn't think oolong is a word; wants to suggest oblong, Woolongong, longing, Long, or long.

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.
