Lots of people are commenting on my Hatsune Miku shirt today. I got it at her Chicago concert.

Yeah, I don't completely hate that. Can you tell that I'm not really a web designer?

Hmm... I should probably repeat the shipping address on the page that asks for payment info just so that people have a last chance to verify all the information before placing the order. Right now it only has the products/shipping rate/price information.

I should sign up for the local university's foreign film series. It's $28 for a ticket to 15 movies.

Also no auto-opt-into my non-existent marketing mailing list.

Other features: no Javascript except for a little bit at the very end of the process for integration with the payment processor, only 1 cookie and it's a session cookie so if you ever close your web browser that will go poof and that only gets generated if decide to add an item to your cart or try to look at an empty cart. No tracking bugs scattered around the site. No accounts to create or log into (browser auto form fill features make this less useful).

Busy Saturday morning at the shop but now more staff is here and I can get back to work on making it so the web site can take orders for pounds of coffee to ship. Today I finished up the work on looking up shipping rates and generating a final summary. The next step is collecting payment information (or rather, collecting a token that can be used to initiate a charge with a payment processor. I'm trying to minimize the data collection here because you can't lose data you don't collect).

Cat was making her these are high quality scritches face.

A shakerato sounds good right now. I think I'll make one. @gnomon

My credit union is showing a pending deposit from Amazon for $11.39 (and another one that looks more normal for 16 cents) and I can't see anything in any reports to explain where such a large amount is coming from.

Idea for TV show: just the commercials for TV comedies run back to back.

It took a while to find the right wrench but today's plumbing adventures were successful.

Obtained the trophy for, "Defeating all blow the volcano."

A while back I was at an event having a beer with the owner of another coffee roasting company and he was showing me his shiny new e-commerce site and was really happy with how that looked and worked, but he couldn't even manage to migrate his mail order business over to the site and had gotten precisely 0 web orders as of that date.
