Ordered another thousandish pounds of coffee today. I still have sample roasting and cupping that I need to catch up on, too.

Okay, but seriously, why is the compose key not just a standardized key that's available and properly labelled on all keyboards? It's way more useful than, say, caps lock. (mine is mapped to right control)

Everything, of course, includes everything in the graph as well. That's not a static image and elements can be hidden, shown, animated, zoomed, transformed, and the like. The milestone markers will need a slight repositioning at the smaller size.

Thinking of maybe doing something like this for a future video. The segment title animates when it changes and everything you see has a banquet of script bindings. #QML

Cat almost fell off the couch.

Time for belly rubs

Clearly what this needs is more hexagons.

Dark mode? The yellow mark is easier to read at least.

Did a little clean up on the graph showing roasting plans for a class I've been teaching lately. Temperatures are based on what they'd be on my machines locally and should probably be removed because it's the timing of event milestones that's important here and those are going to happen at different temperatures on different machines with different probes in different places. It's cooler in interactive form.

Whatever happened yesterday, after getting it back up and running, nvidia graphics are still ridiculously unstable even after all the updates that are available so I'll be switching over to Intel graphics for a little while and I'll deal with sorting this out later.

I don't have to talk on today's teleconference. I probably didn't need to show up at all, but it tends to be useful for me to know what happens at these.

more cat

Cat wants to hang out with me.

Dad's cat has a chair. I was invited over for free food and that sounded better than lawn mowing.

cats are using Toronto as a proving ground in efforts to take their global domination activities to the next level. It's the only way to explain so many people suddenly "accidentally" obtaining hundreds of cats.

The nice thing about GNU/Linux is when stuff like this happens I at least have a clue where to start with fixing it and it's still possible to do a lot with a handful of virtual terminals.

X isn't working and Wayland gives about a minute before the fans all kick up to maximum and then everything hard powers down. Alt+Ctrl+F* to a text console works fine so I guess I'm fixing this from there.
