New coffees (22 bags, 60-70Kg per depending on where it came from) in the building now.

The latest episode of Coffee and Code is now the most liked one for the series over on YouTube. No likes on PeerTube yet.

@goat@hellsite.site How long until you beat my Chest Bot score?

Too much sneezing. I blame the cat.

(might help at my own company if people who don't roast often or don't do certain tasks often know there's a nicely indexed set of tutorials where they can look up how to do a thing instead of them taking their best guess and my having to fix things when I get back from trips)

Considering making a whole bunch of Typica tutorials to go along with the next version release. It's complicated software, but I think if the concepts are broken down better and maybe made a little more accessible, that might help people use it better. Might also help with training if companies using the program can just point staff at a thing and say, "do it like this."

Doing web design stuff today. Last night I sketched out roughly what I want on paper so it's just sorting out the details and making sure things work, then I'll see what I hate and iterate on that for a while.

Paid a bunch of bills and now I'm back to not having money anymore.

Catching things like that are just one reason I prefer to read my email as plain text in a proper mail client.

Tonight's phishing scam email was almost convincing. Most of them are awful but I can easily see how someone could fall for this one. There were two big tip offs.

1. Claiming payment was declined out of sync with my billing cycle
2. You don't log into Linode through what appears to be a German lighting company that apparently needs better security practices.

Today I decided I wanted a big sandwich for lunch.

Just bought another ~3000 pounds of coffee.

Test production batch of the new Guatemalan coffee (Huehuetenango) is approved and now available for sale. I don't have very much of this lot available (it's a get something in while waiting for new crop on what I usually buy that I ran out of early) so I decided to only do a medium roast (no light or dark variant) on this one. It starts out crisp and floral but with some texture to the body and as it cools some nice caramel becomes apparent in the flavor.

How do carpets manage to store so much cat fur?
