I also considered putting it at the start of chapter 11, but I think it flows pretty naturally from the findings of chapter 9 and I'd rather put the material earlier than later.

Today's notes will probably end up at the end of chapter 9.

Wrote a few more pages of notes to incorporate into my book draft. I keep a small notebook in my pocket so when I think of things that ought to go in the book I can write those down. A ribbon holds the place where I haven't yet transferred those notes into the draft.

The cat wants to throw my pen.

Petting the cat, getting pet by the cat.

Look at this cat.

Last night there was a giant opossum in my back yard. #UrbanWildlife

I should probably clarify that that's QML extended by some custom C++ I've written. QML doesn't out of the box have anything appropriate for some of this stuff, but I've written that code for videos before so I can reuse that.

Spent a little time with the presentation for the next class I'm teaching. If I do redo it in QML then I can embed the raw data into the presentation and make the graphics a bit more dynamic.

I hear that the presentation template for the next event I'm teaching at is bad and instructors who ask are being told that they should just go with a neutral dark background instead of trying to use it. I might rework the whole thing in QML anyway (I use that for the visuals in a lot of my videos) so that would simplify matters a bit.

I should replay yoiyami dreamer (also, US release for this game when?)

Just saw someone recommending the local videos on my PeerTube server on a forum instead of linking people to the YouTube channel. https://video.typica.us/

Punk the cat requests belly rubs.

This profile is a cat.

You'd think these Starfleet ships would get more science done if they didn't always park in geosynchronous orbit but nobody ever tells the away team they'll need to wait a few minutes for beam out until the ship is overhead.

The viral math trick that clickbait purveyors want you to think everybody is talking about (but nobody is): literally day 1 algebra.

The cat is making sounds like a jazz trumpeter.
