Quality time with the cat

I'm hoping that I can find an art class to use the mugs that arrived broken. There's a mosaic class that might be able to use them after smashing them up even more.

That AST license that I was grandfathered into came with an individual SCA membership which just expired. Given the mismanagement of the CSP that I've complained about previously it makes absolutely no sense to renew that. I was sent a survey when the renewal deadline passed and I used it to once again raise my complaints about structural disincentives to doing the work that adds value for membership. I fully expect association leadership to continue sticking their head in the sand on this.

An extra 54 cents showed up in one of my accounts today and I can't find any record of where that came from.

Time for belly rubs

I get the thick pizza so it's still hot when I get home.

I have food at home but I kind of don't want to cook tonight. Maybe I'll order a pizza instead.

The down side of getting mentioned in the press is that there are companies that turn press mentions into plaques and they refuse to believe that I have absolutely no interest in purchasing their product.

Just got a bunch of copies of the magazine that featured my shop in the latest issue.

Architecturally it's an eldritch horror, but it has its advantages.

Most of Typica's features are implemented through its scripting system, which means that a lot of the time new features can be added or bugs can be fixed without needing to recompile the program. It lets me get fixes out to people who report issues faster, but sometimes what I want to do requires changes to core code/extending the scripting system.

Warning: the new purchase interface that I'm working on WILL NOT work with the current release build of Typica so don't just go grabbing the config files from the development branch and expect things to work without recompiling the core.

Working on the green coffee purchase interface for the next release of Typica. The existing one kind of sucks so I'd like to get something better put out.

Talkative cat is talkative.

Someone just sent another $50 in support of Typica development. Thank you!

I don't know where they're getting this data but it's nowhere near my birthday, definitely nowhere near my 18th birthday, and I wear a beard.

The new mugs that arrived are from the company that doesn't believe in packing material so there's lots of breakage. This time around they did use packing material, but they don't quite understand how that works. They put the packing material in the center of the boxes where it could be protected by the mugs put against the side of the box. At least they never argue with us not paying for the things that arrive broken.

This morning when she noticed I was getting ready for work the cat yelled at me and then rolled over on her back. She thinks I should stay home and play with the cat.

While working on the graphics for the latest video I noticed a degenerate case in my code that was pretty bad. My solution at the time was to just not trigger that, but today I had some time to go back and fix the problem for real.

Which dog are you?
