Drafted a few more sections of my coffee roasting book. I think these sections need graphs. I should put together placeholders to insert so I don't forget to go back and create those.

I also didn't pay the people who threatened to publicize me masturbating and the porn I was watching. That threat always seemed kind of weird. Like, if anybody noticed they'd probably share a kink and that could be the start of a deepening friendship.

A 2nd, slightly different version of the same bogus bomb threat just arrived. Still not buying it.

So the Darmok and Jalad aliens. Picard and crew are stone cold sure that all their cultural references are to Important Serious Cultural Myths similar to Homer and wevs. But it seems just as, if not more likely, to me that Darmok and Jalad are cartoon characters or part of some popular franchise or something like that. I mean which types of references are people in our culture more likely to get and use? Allusions to Ajax or Bart Simpson?

Another day, another day I'm not going to get around to updating my servers. I don't want to let my Mastodon/PeerTube/Gitea/Nextcloud installs get too far behind the latest releases but I've got too many other things that need attention right now and it's not like I've got a lot of users to support on those servers.

Just got a completely non-credible bomb threat by email telling me the bomb won't go off if I send bitcoin. Let me be clear. Even if I believed that there was a bomb (and I don't), I would not pay them. The last line is particularly amusing.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is supposed to be an obvious mistake but sometimes you're a time travelling nanny, the baby is hitler, and maybe it's fine to throw out that baby with the bathwater.

I only just realised that the actress playing Dr Pulaski in TNG (Diana Muldaur) is in two original series episodes (Return to Tomorrow S2E20, 'Is There in Truth No Beauty?' S3E5)

I still think it's mildly insane that Amazon doesn't combine the payments for video royalties from different regions. They could have done a single 82 cent transfer instead of a 74 cent transfer, a 7 cent transfer, and a 1 cent transfer. Of course, if Amazon can afford to do that, what's Alphabet/Google's excuse with YouTube?
