(one of these days I should make it possible to buy coffee from me online, but every time I start working on that other projects keep taking priority before I can get it done)

One of my suppliers has decided to embrace the 1980s by no longer selling product through their web site. Now I have to buy through a distributor who is really just having them drop ship my order anyway so it's not like there's any labor saving there unless their back end systems were fragmented and awful. I don't really get why companies leave profit on the table by doing stuff like that (they were charging me more than they're charging distributors), but it is what it is.

Only 2/3 of the coffee I ordered arrived today, so that's disappointing. It hardly makes sense to only get about 600 pounds. I've got a couple thousand pounds on the way from another supplier.

She knows I'm taking a picture.

The cat is telling me about her day but all I'n hearing is meow meow meow.

Department of Weights and Measures says my scales are still good.

Hello, cat.

The cat keeps poking my face.

This sort of thing is always somewhat disturbing.

Got things working. The changes shouldn't have made a difference but they did.

Today's code is not working at all and I'm not seeing the problem. I think I need to rethink the approach.

I think my a key might be wearing out. That's going to be obnoxious.

I've been making a lot of typos (missed letters, repeated letters, out of order letters) the past couple days. Wondering if it's my fingers or if it's the laptop keyboard.

Minor UI tweak for the next release of Typica checked in. Certain combo boxes on some platforms were being drawn with a uselessly small width if there wasn't any prior data entry. Now those should all have a usable width.

Design on the new purchase interface in Typica is a lot different from the old one. There are a few things that I'm trying to do here:

1. Make at least the most common use case fully and easily operable through the keyboard (make data entry faster for experts).
2. Make it more obvious what's required and what's optional.
3. De-emphasize the optional stuff so if you're not using it you don't have to see it.
4. Add features.

I might not do everything that I want in #4 before the next release.

The roasting plan for the coffee I'm drinking now is in the latest episode of Coffee and Code. It's not a plan that anybody is going to tell you is a good starting point for how to roast a coffee, but it's the right way to roast this particular coffee.
