It probably was a Magmax cabinet just with the volume turned really low/off. I've been trying to remember what that game was for years.

Was there ever a sequel to Magmax? I feel like I've played something really similar as a kid at a shop near where I went to 6th grade (especially with the collecting robot parts to turn your craft into a walking mecha) but I thought it was more spacey.

Why is my tumblr getting new followers? Oh, it's a bot. Of course it's a bot. Nevermind then. Woohoo indeed.

It's always a pain to find replacement suppliers and rework product lines, but that's a short term pain.

I have to fire one of my candy suppliers. You have to place Christmas orders months in advance only for a large chunk of the order to not show up, what does show up getting packed horrendously, and then also getting expired product that they're not refunding. I can deal with the first two up to a point, but that last one is inexcusable. Earlier this year I fired a tea supplier over the same sort of failure to fix their mistakes.

YouTube survey: why are you asking me about things that I've just told you I never use?

Used the last of my gift certificate on root beer and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today.

Cat

Lazy cat

I think the cat would like it if someone got me a sling for Christmas so I could do housework while keeping the cat in convenient petting range. Do not send me such a thing.

Holiday Blend has now become my #1 most produced coffee within the past 4 weeks. Need to make another big batch today. This year it's a custom roast combining coffees from Kenya and Sumatra.

My sister bought me a Ramune. I've never had that. I think it was an impulse buy, seeing something she recognized from an anime in the grocery store.

It's time for the cat to tell me about her day.

Got an email from someone I know just asking how I was. That shouldn't be weird but it kind of is.

Found and fixed a bug in Typica related to using the manual log entry window for pre-blend batches. I expect this is not a widely used feature (nobody reported the bug) but if anybody needs the fix before the next release it should be safe to just grab config/manuallogentry.xml from the development branch.

"repaired" a grinder. Somehow one of the wires going to the power switch fell off with predictable results.
