Test batch with the new computer hooked up at the roaster landed perfectly on spec.

I've got the new machine as far set up as it's going to get today. It's working with both roasters, the batch tag printer is set up. All that's left is to bring in an HDMI cable since the new machine doesn't have a VGA port for the external display.

Old machine.
It ripped itself apart.

Setting up a new computer in the roasting area. The old one self destructed (defective battery warped everything) and is no longer suitable. Sadly, I couldn't get the budget approved to put in something good.

At least the manufacturer does offer this model with Linux so it shouldn't be too challenging to make that change later if I swap out the data acquisition hardware on the roasters for stuff that works there. Windows 10 is not exactly fit for purpose.

I was asked to write 3-5 statements on my views of the sample roasting spec so the people teaching that class could bring in my perspective on what I think is important (a few other people with very different experience were asked to do the same thing). I should post those some time after the class.

Hello, cat.

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.
