The last time I tried the tickets weren't on sale yet, but I tried again today and was able to buy tickets for the local university's foreign film series. I've signed up for what is historically their least popular show time.

Looks like online ordering won't be going live todayish as planned. My sister (the other 50% of company ownership) is concerned that I'm leaving town soon and wants me on site a little longer after that's available publicly. It's frustrating that she couldn't come up with that concern until after the work was finished and ready to go despite extra stuff I did to make sure my being remote wouldn't be a problem.

Lots of the fediverse was proactive in this. I waited until they started making a mess over here. Now that that's happened, buh bye.

Are you a good cat?

re last boost: I got to swim with sharks while doing rainforest studies in Panama ages ago. They were good sharks.

Best Voyager character?

I'm not completely sure, but I think the cat can tell when WiFi is down.

The server that's running on is probably a little too under-powered. It's managed to eat all the swap, <100M free RAM, lots of ENOMEM going on.

My first test use is letting instructors decide which coffee roasting machine they want to use for my next classes. Hopefully they find that this works for them, but if it doesn't I'm prepared to take email replies and fill things in myself. Probably there will be some people who just flag me down at the event and sort it out last minute.

Setting up Collabora was not easy and I'm still not completely sure what eventually got that working, but collaborative editing of LibreOffice documents appears to be working now.

Thinking I might add Collabora Online to that. I have rare use for something like Google Sheets and this looks like it might be a better alternative for me.

Updating my

Did a coffee roasting demo/mini lecture for one of the more recent hires. Followed it up with a tasting to demonstrate why we don't evaluate flavor until the coffee has had several hours of rest.

Talked with the political door knocker today, assured her that I ALWAYS vote, talked about a couple state and national candidates she asked about, etc.

Punk is keeping an eye on me.
