Registered for the event that I'm teaching at in April. They've added a $5 volunteer administration fee, which is pretty messed up. A lot of the draws of that event are things that run on volunteer efforts. All things like that will accomplish is drive disengagement. (Technically I'm getting paid for what I'm doing, but not enough that it makes sense from a purely transactional perspective, but if I were signing up for grunt shifts I'd be pretty pissed about getting asked to pay for that.)

The base UFoP holomatrix template implements DRM which prevents the singing EMH from covering mid-23rd century Andorian hip hop because it's still protected under copyright.

The most obnoxious part about this is that the same data needs to be sent to another part of the government and to do that it's just a couple clicks in the accounting software and it goes off electronically without this stupid hand transcription of digital records step.

More tax crud. The state requires that I hand type all the stuff on everybody's W-2 into a web site that has awful fake windows made out of HTML where the state selector only works if you type at exactly the right speed.

Here's a link to that dinosaur fabric if anybody wanted to look at that.

I also found a really nice map of Ethiopia that I was given during my first trip there.

Found my first coffee roaster while cleaning the basement. This was useful to demonstrate the changes coffee goes through in roasting before we were roasting our own. It also had some time roasting samples, but the control on this is limited and consistency is bad. Eventually I was able to do better roasting samples in a production roaster (basically roasting by sound as that's so far below minimum batch size that visuals and instruments are unavailable). These days I have something appropriate.

Why do I have so many partial rolls of teflon tape?

This is clearly what you'd choose if you wanted fediverse pyjamas.

She didn't pick the fabric featuring among other animals an elephant in spandex and a crocodile with an anarchist symbol on its cape.

Took my sister out for lunch today. After that we went to a fabric store where she got a dinosaurs on a topographic map fabric that she's going to try turning into a skirt.

Time for cuddles. #cat

Another Atelier Rorona DX glitch: Ster Highlands Dragon Lair, it's possible to get on the wrong side of the area entrance. Enemies can walk through, but you can't cross over to the gathering points. Since you're not supposed to be there at all it's possible to walk off the path and fall off the mountain. I didn't find anything down there and once you fall far enough the game drops you from the sky back onto land, still on the wrong side of the entrance.

That's the spot

The cat is rolling around.
