How to drink coffee:

Step 1: Get ALL your cups.

It looks like I might have a shortage of station instructors for my next class so I've been working out equivalent roasting plans for the IKAWA that can be done ahead of time with minimal coffee to fill in on the tasting side. One of the nice things about this is that I can publish those plans for people to replicate the exercise with their own coffees.

A customer dropped off a gift bottle of beer. He says it's the best porter he's ever brewed and it's made with my decaffeinated Sumatran coffee. Beer that I get paid for is my favorite kind, so now I need to adjust my dinner plans so I can enjoy that tonight.

$28 to see 15 movies from 11 countries, most from 2017-2018, but also a 2015, a 2016, and a 1960.

The last time I tried the tickets weren't on sale yet, but I tried again today and was able to buy tickets for the local university's foreign film series. I've signed up for what is historically their least popular show time.

Looks like online ordering won't be going live todayish as planned. My sister (the other 50% of company ownership) is concerned that I'm leaving town soon and wants me on site a little longer after that's available publicly. It's frustrating that she couldn't come up with that concern until after the work was finished and ready to go despite extra stuff I did to make sure my being remote wouldn't be a problem.

Lots of the fediverse was proactive in this. I waited until they started making a mess over here. Now that that's happened, buh bye.

Are you a good cat?

re last boost: I got to swim with sharks while doing rainforest studies in Panama ages ago. They were good sharks.

Best Voyager character?

I'm not completely sure, but I think the cat can tell when WiFi is down.

The server that's running on is probably a little too under-powered. It's managed to eat all the swap, <100M free RAM, lots of ENOMEM going on.

My first test use is letting instructors decide which coffee roasting machine they want to use for my next classes. Hopefully they find that this works for them, but if it doesn't I'm prepared to take email replies and fill things in myself. Probably there will be some people who just flag me down at the event and sort it out last minute.
