This just arrived in my inbox and, umm... I didn't have an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign? There aren't any super-obvious signs of a scam going on, so I think maybe this just got pushed to the wrong mailing list? If someone used my email address to set up an Indiegogo campaign I'd think I'd've gotten an email about that and rather than an award I guess I'd rather have the money. I'm sure I can find a project to push that to.

Crossed legs

VR mode in Catlateral Damage is dangerous.

It's cold at work. I want to go home and hug the cat.

Last night's cat pics. I tried to get one of her hugging a table leg but she noticed that I was about to take a picture and composed herself for that.

This morning the cat decided that she needed me to wake up so I could hear the garbage trucks. She got a claw in my nose, which earned her an ejection from the bed. I don't think she meant to inflict pain, but I don't want to encourage that behavior.

Why did teleportation become such a popular choice for moving in VR games? It's almost never the right decision.

Cat's giving me lots of head pats tonight.

Spent some time working on a new order entry interface for Typica. I want to make this both much simpler than currently exists and also add more features. This might seem like a contradiction, but if I'm willing to redesign this aspect from scratch it isn't.

Bakery across the street gave my shop a free box of donuts as thanks for our help with their coffee emergency earlier in the day. Hopefully people noticed that the coffee was a huge upgrade from their usual fare and they set up a wholesale account to buy my coffee regularly, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

I got a phone call from my mother this morning. It was a wrong number.

blanket pile

Okay, this is odd. Apparently if I plug a PS4 controller into my laptop to charge while I'm playing a game the touch area is picked up both by the PS4 and as a mouse on the laptop.

pet the cat

Okay, crazy thought here, but what if the people who buy/run/make policy decisions about web sites started by, you know, using that site and having some kind of awareness of what it is? Oh, who am I kidding, hey yahoo, want to buy my Mastodon instance?

Just because all the articles about fixing your finger nails are apparently written for women doesn't mean that men can't also fix their nails. Saving yourself some pain while that heals doesn't make you any less of a man.
