My sister says the cat got on a scale while I was out of town and she's a 14 pound cat.

my cat snores

she also likes to sleep near my head

bored cat

dinner was not enough food

Needs soy sauce

I'm making shrimp in dinner and the cat is yelling at me.

Got the feedback forms for my class. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

Did the (I hope) final Typica 1.9.1 builds. I'll be doing deployment testing later today and then that should be available to download in the usual place.

Windows users on 1.9.1rc1 can safely ignore this (no functional changes). Linux users with HiDPI screens or who don't stick to their default system themes might want to track the development branch for a little while as I'm fixing stuff related to themes and HiDPI.

Grocery store printed out a coupon at checkout today. This freshly printed coupon expired 5 days ago.

It seems like every time I read the communications manual for another device that speaks modbus I run into another way the protocol gets abused that needs special case handling in software.

Went into work early to finish up some stuff only to find that my staff did all the stuff I was going to take care of.

Cat recommends petting the cat.

Airline sent an email apologizing for the delay. That's nice, I guess, but there was a pretty bad storm at the destination and the weather control technologies we have are not exactly free of consequences.

Everybody waited to place their wholesale orders until after I was back in town.

Why would you agree to be transferred to someone who can answer your questions only to refuse to ask them because the person isn't the one named (who you've been told you need to call early in the day if you must talk to them [you don't]) on your paper? There's something about stereotypical office work that rots the brain, I think.

https://code.typica.us/ is now running Gitea 1.5.0. If you're interested in approximately how much time it takes for me to work through issues, it's now easier to see that information.

Now, help with making range timers and related functionality more powerful, easier to use, that would be genuinely useful.

(if you're making a competing program, please consider at least not making % notations the default behavior; you're giving people what they're asking for instead of what they need and it's screwing up their roasts)

People are asking me about DTR again (because pretty much every competing program displays it now) and it's still about the worst idea in coffee roasting (if you're using it, I can guarantee that your roasts have less batch to batch consistency than they'd have if you just stuck to the raw duration values instead of obscuring those with a division operation that doesn't correspond to any known chemistry). If you want it in Typica, I need an argument that outweighs the damage this concept causes.
