Roaster is back in the US. If it weren't for customs it could get delivered tomorrow, but I'm not counting on that.

Will the Raspberry Pi 4 make 2019 the year of dual 4K screens on the Linux coffee roaster?

Found the last of the three hidden rooms I missed in Bloodstained. The last one was hidden under a floor and contained a Santa Hat.

Next up there are 8 demons that I haven't gotten all the drops from yet. Six of them should be easy enough to farm but the other two take longer to get to between attempts and one of them is still dangerous.

Grocery store added another ice cream where the first ingredient is cream. It was a mistake when the government let big dairy take ice milk and sell it as ice cream.

The cat likes to lean on my arm.

Today there's an anatomy puzzle.

This is a lot better now. Not perfect, but I was able to delete a ton of code that didn't need to exist.

Espresso machine manufacturer called to get a bit of info about the new machine that's on the way and a phone number for the place that's doing the install. Assuming there aren't any problems that turn up they'll ship the machine to the installer and once they have it they'll call me to set up a time to come out and put that in. So there's progress there.

Fixed. Uninitialized member. Was getting set to nullptr with a debugger attached but not without.

So I tried cleaning this code up and now the program crashes instead of working UNLESS there's a debugger attached, at which point everything works perfectly.

The cat seems to think it's VERY IMPORTANT to notice that the cat is a cute cat.

It's interesting to go over to the puzzle shelf and see what's there. The puzzles that come back aren't always the same as the puzzles that leave so there's a steady supply of new ones.

Including a note with an order today because this customer's order is for the quantity that's most expensive to mail and it's been their usual order for long enough that they'd save a lot of money on the postage if they bought 1 more or less and adjusted their order frequency accordingly.

I'm happy to continue selling them what they've been ordering, but just want to make sure they're aware of those potential savings.

Every so often I think about fixing up my Computer Space cabinet, but at this point it's probably easier to write a clone of the game and hook everything up to something like a Raspberry Pi than it would be to diagnose, find, and replace parts on the circuit boards.

Coffees from Burundi historically aren't popular with my customers (I think it's just a familiarity issue), so I'll only get ~500 pounds of it.

On the gaming front I've continued playing Bloodstained. I like how the game has chairs throughout where you can sit down, take a break, look at a giant portrait of someone's cat.

Slayed 100% of the demons but the map is only 99.8% complete so I need to find the 2 possibly hidden rooms I'm missing. I've been maining the fairy familiar who flies over to hidden stuff and tells me to look there.

In other news, the repaired sample roaster (arrived with a fan that only goes full blast, preventing a successful pre-heat and also immediately ejecting any coffee you might try to put in despite that) is on its way back. There's no delivery estimate yet, but probably late this week, early next depending on customs.

It's a coffee out of the Muramba wet mill which gets coffee from a bit over 1000 small farms, located at 1720masl. It's a 15+ screen fully washed 100% Bourbon.
