@agudbrandson Option 1: Enter some green coffee purchases and fix the records to some extent by hand. Option 2: Set the existing batch data as target profiles and just understand that early batches (except the one through manual entry) are problematic elsewhere. Option 3: Like option 2 if you want to save the data that's already in there but then nuke the database and start over, remembering to enter valid data this time around.

If the externals change, I can step in a couple years later and maybe there will be more interesting work to do then.

Officially turned that down. The other big factor in the decision is that the upcoming deliverable schedule is all redoing (for dubious reasons) stuff that we finished years ago. I'd rather work on new stuff.

Received a "thank you for your order" email that was written IN ALL CAPS.

let's start an argument about star trek. ready? 

@Taweret no argument from me, because I'm one of those sickos that enjoys the animated series and personally considers it canon

On the other hand, I'm very much that kid who when asked, "would you like to teach the class?" has a history of saying yes and then knocking it out of the park. (I started in 4th grade)

I'm leaning toward either no or not yet, but I'm standing by for more information, clarifications, or a convincing argument for why this is a good idea. There are some things I could do better, but most of my reasons for leaving wouldn't be fixed just by my taking over because the problems originate external to that group.

Yesterday I was looking at new mug designs and mercats (like mermaids except with a cat top) are apparently the hot new thing. I'm guessing these were designed by a Macross fan. Personally, I'm looking forward to getting the octopus mugs.

So in a completely bizarre turn I've been asked if I want to take over leadership of the committee I resigned from. I'll be asking some people for advice and getting some more information to help me make that decision.

My sister is having dental work done tomorrow so I'll be taking over more of the tasks she normally takes care of for a few days while she recovers from that.

Baseball; :DS9: joke 

~ Science fact ~

Did you know that the fictional game "Baseball" from Star Trek's Deep Space Nine has been adapted to be played in real life?

Of course, there are no real-life Vulcans to play (and lose) against, and the sport is nearly unbearable to watch or play

But some die-hard Trekkies went out there and made it happen anyway!

I say, it sounds like a fun bit of cosplay and silliness. Play ball!

I'm not exactly sure where the typo was (once I knew which section it must have been in I just copy/pasted from the example instead of trying to hunt down the difference), but it resulted in 404s on webseeds (downloads still worked).

video.typica.us/ is back up and running with local videos working correctly. Bad nginx modification during the upgrade to PeerTube 1.2. I was stuck in a meeting for too long before I was able to fix that but everything should be good now.

Made the cats a drinking fountain.

It's just a plant pot with a tiny pond pump and some pebbles.

All hooked up to a PIR sensor so it only runs when a cat passes by.

Mlemlemlemlemlem.

local videos on video.typica.us temporarily down. will try to get that up soon.

Cat is wet. I think she decided to drag herself through her water dish.

Traffic design there is bad enough when everybody is following the rules.

Had to double back and reroute on the way to work today. There was a convoy of extremely slow moving public works trucks going the wrong way on 1 way streets blocking my route.
