I think I want to do a video on coffee cupping forms. I have a bunch of different ones that nobody uses anymore and am old enough to remember a lot of the history of why the forms changed and some approaches that never gained traction. I have other projects that need to get finished first, but I think I could make that video both entertaining and educational.

Cracked open a box of my competition coffee today. Since the competition got cancelled I'll just sell the coffee instead. Can't taste that until tomorrow, but it smells nice.

I suspect it's Apple since I never have that problem in KMail on Linux.

Don't know if it's the sender or just Apple's Mail.app but I needed to do the whole copy base64 text into a file and command line decode into a PDF thing again today.

Got an email from my insurance company letting me know that they're trying to claw back my deductible from the person (or their insurer) who rear ended me a while back. That could take a while and might not come to anything, but I'd be glad to get any/all of that back.

Blog, with no indices, none of the entries linked on a main page, primary discoverability only through the RSS feed?

Up next, an hour of cat petting.

The cat is telling me about her day. Apparently it was not completely uneventful.

Today I'm wearing a new dino mask my sister made for me.

Deemo Reborn's VR mode could be re-skinned as a Star Trek Deep Space Nine game in which you play as Odo pretending to play the piano at Vic's. It would be a better game than Crossroads of Time.

There's a cat on my lap.

Also adjusted some colors and shapes on the upcoming site redesign. I still need a better bio photo.

Did some significant expansions of the sample roasting section of the book in this afternoon's editing session. Put in some todos to find more photos as well. Hopefully I'll be able to motivate myself to continue editing work after dinner.

cat, on seeing me with extra groceries: I will sit directly in your path and refuse to move until you're done bringing stuff in.

Bought more groceries than usual because there were good sales on stuff that won't go bad before I have a chance to eat it.

I really need to figure out how to get the shop's mail server to notice when its certificates have been renewed out from under it (or set up a cron job to kick the services every few weeks). If I have too much uptime, mail clients start to complain about expired certs because the server just keeps serving the one it had at last system startup, completely ignoring the fact that those no longer exist and have been replaced.
