Had a small chaff fire in the roaster while cooling that off after the last batch of the day. Not sure what set it off. It looked bad enough from the outside that someone in the area called the fire department over, but I had it put out by the time they showed up. They stuck around while I verified that it hadn't spread into the exhaust and set up some big fans to help air the place out faster.
One of the checks in the deposit was from a business account that I have access to so I could go and print their scan of the back of the check with my very clear written instructions on it that the credit union failed to follow.
Nobody has reached out to me about teaching at SCA Expo in Boston, but one of the classes on offer has exactly the same description as a class I developed ages ago under a new title. (I wrote the class with the express intent that lots of other people would be able to pick up the material and teach it, and many people have so don't read this as me taking issue with that. I kind of hope it is just what it looks like.)
(all of the competing programs I've looked at on this front do worse, but I don't think that's a good reason for me to not try to do better)
It's been a while since I used goto in C++ but I don't feel the slightest bit bad about doing that today. The code I'm working on now is going to get refactored pretty much immediately once it's done so I probably won't need that in whatever this turns into when it ships and even if I did, well, the project I'm working on has been open source for nearly 2 decades without a single outside code contribution so I'll do what I want.
The too much work option is to just build something custom myself, which I could, but that's not a yak I need to shave.
The option that upstream is working on I might want to switch to because it's better, but I might not because it brings in too many dependencies for something most of the people using my software will only very rarely need to interact with (I'm probably the heaviest user of the feature).
