Left a comment about an awful hacky workaround I'd anticipated needing which did, in fact, turn out to be needed for now. On the plus side, a different related problem that could have existed doesn't seem to, so that saves me a little work.

I miss scroll bars. Can we have real scroll bars back please?

Note to self: try the clean build sooner.

Spent entirely too much time trying to figure out how some stuff valgrind was reporting was at all possible. After failing to sort that out I did a clean build and the problems went away. Ugh.

Pluto TV's Star Trek Voyager channel has changed to being a DS9 channel in case anybody wants to watch that as it was originally intended: with advertisements trying to convince you that if you look like a normal person instead of someone with a professional makeup artist and a photoshop expert you should ask your doctor about deadly toxins and here are the 8 ways that'll really mess you up (but ask your doctor anyway).

The cat is pretty sure she wants to sit on me but is unsure of which direction she wants to face.

Replaced about 90 SLOC with about 20 SLOC. The 20 SLOC could be half as large but was spread out so I can understand it when I have to read it again later.

Shop is closed, but I'm at the shop doing some work anyway.

Made some good progress during a night time coding session. Scrapped part of an approach that wasn't working for something that still isn't perfect but at least makes more useful trade offs.

The cat is pretending to be chill with it, but she's bothered by all the exploding happening outside.

It's time to make dinner but there's a cat on my lap.

cat: *sits on me*

The cat has discovered cheesecake.

Web site update is done to make more coffees available to buy there. Waiting on a mailing list update preview before sending that out (I like to give it one more proof read in a proper email client before sending that). Mailing list subscribers are up again compared with when the last update went out. That's pretty much always the case since it's a very low volume list.

the cat has declared it hugs time

I guess I did a little better than I thought. Was still decently high at 129, got in a few more attempts to move back up to #18. Still not all that happy with the runs and still expect to drop quite a bit before it's over.

This morning I was ranked #1 on a pinball tournament, not because I was any good at the game but because I was one of the first people to post a score. I expect my position has dropped at least a few hundred spots by now.

Finished sorting out blends. Most of them could just carry on using the old recipes with the new ingredients, but one needed an adjustment to the proportions to keep it tasting good.

And the cat is back in my lap.

The cat has moved. It looks like 2-5 hours was the correct answer.
