Might end up finishing a 6th episode of Roast Profile Development before the end of the month. After that it might be a new series, but I'd like to put that one out all at once for easy binge watching.

Today grass got put back in between the sidewalk and the street. There's still concrete barriers at the cross street so no access to my driveway, which is probably just as well because it looks like the entire contents of my next door neighbor's house has spilled into it. They didn't last long, but I won't miss having diapers left on my porch (wtf neighbors).

Everybody I've shown this to was surprised that THIS was the part that broke.

This is the thing I repaired today.

Yesterday was my father's memorial service. He had a good turn out, lots of people had stories to tell. Today he was entombed at the cemetery. Honor Guard was at both events (he was drafted during Vietnam). Got to spend some time with some family members I don't see often enough. I'll be glad to go back to wearing comfy shoes.

I left the cat channel on the television when I left the house today. I don't think the cat cared one way or the other.

I somehow ended up getting stuck on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles channel (which is apparently a thing that exists) and one of them was watching a Star Trek knock off in which mirror universe evil Wesley Crusher appeared and was promptly mutilated horribly in a transporter "accident".

It looks like the latest video is also the longest in its series (7 minutes longer than the previous episode).

Asked my alderman what to do about my missing recycling bin and he's just going to take care of that. Apparently the bins have chips in them so they can get a replacement out to me and recover my bin from whoever took it if they try using it.

If I wrote a blog post called "How to Win at @chest_bot " would anybody use that to knock me out of 1st place?

To be notified when that and future videos are available, you can follow @neal@video.typica.us from your favorite fediverse account.

What's getting transcoded now is the all new episode of Roast Profile Development, this time focusing on two coffees from Burundi and in particular going into a lot of depth on the one that I take to a dark roast, but the real point is the product development process that guides these roasting decisions. There's stuff here that can be applied by anybody who roasts coffee.

I recorded the latest video in WQHD resolution, so I guess I'll find out how my PeerTube installation at https://video.typica.us/ deals with that (should be fine). It handles 4K just fine. Still need to upgrade that server. It's running out of storage space and another core would be nice to speed up the transcoding jobs.

You've heard of Taco Tuesday, but are you ready for Choco Taco Tuesday?

I was supposed to have the day off from work today...
