Well, looks like Xiao is a skip for me after all. I wasn't enthusiastic about that character to start with, but his try out event had me thinking yeah, that's a fun character I would play with but I won't whale for him. Was near pity on both character and weapon banners and ended up with the sword (which will make my Qiqi even tankier, yeah!) and another Diluc (who I don't play), but that means a guaranteed Keqing or Hu Tao so I'm good with that. #GenshinImpact

Well, it looks like the beg post on the blog worked. Another donation came in that means I don't have to pay for the main typica.us server (not counting social, code, or video subdomains which are on different machines) out of pocket for the rest of the year. That means anything else that comes in during the year can be budgeted toward actual work on the software.

Ordered another ~1300ish pounds of coffee today, mostly decaf. Also got some coffee samples to run through the sample roaster later in the day.

Good day for sales through the web site. February 2020 was the all time monthly low for that and the sales from just today are more than double that. (how to put a positive spin on things: choose a terrible benchmark)

It would be nice if we could get one more rule change here: Wisconsin still wants to tax that money.

Anyway, I've now officially applied for my PPP loan forgiveness and expect that to be approved. We were handling that money under the assumption of what the rules were at the time the loan was approved but the government kept changing the rules and by the end of that just payroll for the longer period vastly exceeded the loan amount so we didn't even need to count other eligible expenses.

It's not quite as absurd as it looks at first glance because that 2nd statement catches things like if you structured a business as a ton of subsidiaries that all got tiny loans that together added up to over $2M none of them can use this form, but that's sketchy on the face of it anyway.

Form 3508S starts out with 2 statements that together seem a bit odd. Can only use it for ppp loans under $50k and separately, in case there's any confusion here, you can't use it for loans equal or greater than $2,000,000. Because I guess some people might think a $2M loan is less than $50,000.

The Project Diva games are also a favorite of the cat. I was playing one of them when she decided to finally let me know that she had moved into the house. By contrast, the cat is totally offended by the game Catlateral Damage and does not like it when I play that.

*plays badly*
*turns up volume*
*sets several personal bests*

Yeah, that checks out.

Playing Project Diva poorly while waiting for the Genshin Impact update to finish downloading. I'll turn up the volume. I play better when it's loud.

Belly rubs are calming her down.

The cat is talkative tonight. She's upset that I was at work late tonight.

Should I try out PeerTube's live streaming after work tonight? Would anybody show up to hang out?

AliExpress wants me to know that Baron Bunny (or as he's known to sellers there, Rabbit Earl) is trending. Sadly, the versions they sell do not dance when thrown.

First donation of the year in support of ongoing development of Typica came in this morning. It doesn't get me to any real feature or maintenance work that requires a budget but it's $50 of server bills that I don't have to pay out of my own pocket this year so that's great.

The trail of paw prints I saw this morning suggests that a cat took shelter from the snow under my porch last night.
