Did a bunch of coffee roaster cleaning today. More of that got done as planned because one of my employees got bored and started scrubbing stuff for me and I wasn't about to turn down the help.

Ordered more coffee. Went through as 2 orders because my supplier didn't have what I needed in 1 warehouse.

Not sure what's going on with this, but today is the 3rd day in a row that I've had a big batch of French Roast on the roasting schedule.

I don't sit on the cat when she's trying to eat.

Have you appreciated a cat today?

I voted.

Ended up cooking an Easter lunch because my mother wanted the local family over, but she's been having some movement issues (is working through it with her doctor) and didn't want to do the cooking herself. I opted for a stir fry because I don't like her oven.

The cat has declared it to be hugs time.

The cat is shoving her face in my mug. I guess I'm not refilling that tonight.

How do we feel about cats tonight?

The cat is really into hugs tonight.

I think it might mostly just be the snow. She didn't want me out in the snow.

The cat wanted me to stay home from work today, but she doesn't get to make that decision. We were both heading away from the kitchen when she turned back, saw me putting my coat on, and went MAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Need to buy cat supplies.

The other day I noticed a bug in some unreleased code. Today I found and fixed the source of that problem. There's still a little work to do on the feature before I inflict it on others.

USB stick broke. The parts related to storing and retrieving data work fine, but there's a little hole on the side that I used to attach a little charm to it since otherwise it's too small to easily get out of some of the stuff I plug that into..That's the part that broke as I discovered when the charm fell off and its string was still intact.

I don't know where the political text message spammers get their lists, but I've apparently ended up on both the pro-choice (which I am, mainly just as a pragmatic realist who recognizes that the way to fewer abortions isn't just banning abortions) and anti-trans (which I'm not because I've both employed and partied with them which makes it hard to think of them as a threat [to what?]) scare mongering lists. I keep replying STOP.

There's sort of a weird tradeoff here. I tossed it out for anybody to use for free (it's all done as a single static HTML file with no server side anything so serving this is super cheap) so there isn't any need for a sales pitch on the site. You just go there and start using it, but that also means that there's no good place to onboard people.

I get the sense that this is the sort of thing where people who should find this useful look at it and don't understand what they're seeing at all, so seeing someone actually using it and explaining it as they go could go a long way toward getting other people to use it.
