I have another one of these meetings tomorrow but someone else is the lead instructor there (though I guess he wants to restructure it as more like a panel thing so I might take a chunk of the lecture) so I can mostly listen on that one while for today's I'll be talking too much.

All set for today's meeting. This time it's my turn to run through a class that I'm leading with station instructors. There are still a couple slides in the presentation that I'll want to tweak before class, but I'm not going to have those ready today.

Cat is winking at me.

I'm lucky only 1 cat decided to move in here.

20th anniversary barrel shouting game

Work is done for the day. Time to build a city with lots of barrels to shout at.

It feels like a good time for someone to announce a reboot of Max Headroom. Netflix?

Someone said they liked my shirt today.

It's been over 20 years since the last update to HyperCard was released. When I was in the 4th grade I taught a small class on that. It was pretty neat because the people who wanted to make it do stuff could easily get into the coding side of things and the people who just wanted to draw stuff on the screen could do that, too.

Reglued the rubber strip that was falling off the bottom of the laptop. It seems to have elongated by an extra cm.

I was going to have another banana but then the cat sat on me so I guess I can't.

Tonight the cat keeps sitting up, saying meow, and then tipping over onto her back.

USPS says that tomorrow I can start playing the new barrel spotting game.

Roasting system calibration is something that I've done a lot of work on in developing Typica so it's good that there's external research happening at a larger scale that confirms the results of the work I've done, and having a class where people can prove it to themselves is great to see.
