The cat is requesting praise and admiration.

My mother wanted me to come over after work and lift things, but instead I'm looking at her (e)mail and telling her what's an advertisement and what's a scam.

@yomimono Sorry I wasn't available to chat if you were looking for that. I don't usually work the bar but I'm doing more of that this week. Hope you enjoyed the drink. (also, if that wasn't you visiting today please disregard)

Documentation: This implements a multi-line text editor.
Me: Great, I wanted a multi-line text editor. But why can't I see it?
Code: This control has no visible representation but you can tab into it from another control and there's a tiny slightly misaligned patch of screen where the cursor changes shape.

Cat purring intensifies.

Today's coding seems to mostly be fighting against bad defaults.

Just in case anybody is confused, https://typica.jp/ is entirely unrelated to the much, much older https://typica.us/

It would be nice if people would check for things that might seem overly similar BEFORE doing marketing spend.

The cat has picked up a sock.

The cat is at risk of rolling off the couch.

Was up late last night working on some code. The new batch window in Typica 2 looks quite a bit different from the Typica 1 version now. Decided to ditch the table view for green coffees which lets me make some operations a little more obvious and makes logical space for new features. Weights are also auto-filled which should help places that standardize batch sizes or blend before roasting.

Finished up a couple tiny features that make the program nicer to use. Nothing in terms of new capabilities, just takes fewer steps to do the most commonly wanted thing.

Fixed 2 bugs. One was a > that should have been a >= while the other was not updating a value on one very specific code path which was solved by lifting it out of a loop and unconditionally doing the right thing, which in most cases will also be a tiny bit more efficient (where it isn't is already the fastest path so I'm not going to worry about a couple extra instructions to calculate a 0).

Severe case of phone elbow today. Nobody call me for the rest of the day, please.

Thinking I should probably do a demo video with the software I'm working on. I don't have an estimated release date yet (it'll be released when it's ready) but people might like to know that I'm not dead or something. There are a few cool demo-worthy things.

Based on my agenda for the day, I think petting the dog is likely to be the best thing that happens.

Today so far:
Cons: Customers are behaving in a way that causes needless stress. (nothing bad, just being extra oblivious and holding up the line)
Pros: Got to pet a dog!

Added a small feature and it revealed a bug elsewhere which has now been fixed.

The cat saw me bring in a new bag of cat food so she tried to convince me that she was starving and I needed to open the new bag of food. She wasn't very convincing and I expect she'll be offended when she really doesn't have enough food in her dish and I give her more from the old bag.
