The cat was really excited tonight when I opened the new bag of cat food. I think she'd like it if the bags were smaller so new ones could be opened more frequently.

So I decided to start replaying this last night.

No Instagram, I'm not "having trouble" logging in.

Road construction has another route between home and work shut down.

Cat allergies are bad tonight.

New burrs installed in one of the shop grinders.

One of the nice things about having ssh access to a PeerTube instance is when I publish new videos I can put a follow tail on the access log and see all the great and whimsical domain names in the fediverse.

First episode of the new vlog is up if anybody cares to watch me ramble on about random stuff through a glitchy terminal while petting a cat. https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/89ce5e05-8e6a-4035-b1f4-3f4a6125ba88

Doing a little more editing on the new vlog before uploading that. I needed to add more cats about half way through the episode. They don't stay on screen for long so be sure to watch carefully so you don't miss them.

New feature for whatever comes after Typica 1.9.1: https://code.typica.us/neal/Typica/issues/7

Altering history is generally not a good idea, but the question comes up enough specifically for INVENTORY transactions that I'd rather have a better answer than "here's some SQL you can run to fix that."

Since she sent coffee, we sent cookies shaped like bats. They're "con-bat-ulation" cookies. Yeah, my sister (who made the cookies) is really into bats these days.

Opened some more issues after an email exchange today. Any fixes there aren't going to get into the 1.9.1 release, but I think those can all be implemented purely as config file changes (Typica's config system is absurdly powerful like that) so people who need things before whatever release is after that should still be able to get it without needing to touch a compiler.

Doing lots of coffee blend tasting today. As new lots replace old ones, blends must be verified and possibly updated to keep things tasting right.

Last night I did a rough edit of the first episode of "Coffee and Code" and it ended up at exactly 30 minutes. I feel like maybe that's a little bit too long for a vlog but if I'm only doing them monthly maybe it's fine?

Every time I pause to take a sip of coffee a computer voice says "coffee coffee coffee coffee".

Any time I use a piece of software that I know has a database and that I have the ability to access that database directly I like to poke around in that just to see how things work. While I'm not a fan of case sensitive tables/columns in the PeerTube database, things otherwise look reasonable.

Contrast with say, QuickBooks for Mac. The awfulness in their schema design (if you can even call it that) explains a lot of the problems with that program.

I'm going to take it as a good sign that this text is readable even on the little upload preview here. I was a little bit worried about that. I'll have a segment where I poke around a bit in the database behind my PeerTube instance and I'm tempted to do a separate video that explores what's in the database and walks through some of the stuff that's currently easier to find out with SQL than through the web interface, but I think I'll wait until after beta 10 for that.

Is the cat a co-host or a special guest?

Figuring out how I want to roast some new coffees today. For the first one I'll try replicating a sample that doesn't taste like celery.

Coffee comes from a fruit. It shouldn't taste like a vegetable.
