Cooking another batch of chai concentrate.

My sister picked up some new wrapping paper for the shop so people who don't want to wrap their own coffee or tea related present can pay me to do that. One of the new designs is dinosaurs wearing scarves and hats. That's the design I'm going to recommend.

The bunny clock is cute but if you're going to leave food in the microwave for a few days, that's probably beyond what bunny clock can fix.

The cat mostly only greets me at the front door when I come home from work at the end of the day. If I go home for lunch she can't be bothered to get off the couch.

Headline: Five Years Later, Who Really Hacked Sony?
Me: Which one was 5 years ago? At this point who hasn't hacked Sony?

I seem to be building another web app in C++. Each time I do that it gets a little more pleasant.

When I say that company doesn't know how packing material works, I mean it. Often times they don't bother with it, but I've also gotten shipments where the shipping box was filled with the breakable mugs lining the edge of the box with some paper to keep those from sliding around protected safely in the center where it does absolutely nothing to protect from impacts during shipping. At least they're good about crediting for breakage so I'm not paying for broken stuff.

More sloth mugs have been ordered. I don't know if they'll ship and if they do ship I don't know if they'll arrive in one piece (they come from that company that doesn't know how packing material works). There's still 1 left from the previous shipment.

Fedi has spoken. I'm also Ice Cream Kitty which brings that up to 50%. Surprised that Aristotle tied with the much cooler Chompy Picasso.

There's not much time left to declare in the poll which ninja turtle you are (see thread). So far the results are shaking out about where I'd expect.

re: @Gargron poll

For those who sensibly want explicit actions to move a video in toots somewhere instead of auto-crud on scroll, that already exists. Click the toot. It opens in the last column. You can play/stop the video there and you can carry on down your timeline without worry about getting back to the video or having that auto-anything'd.

Today is a good day for chimney sweeping.

I got a birthday present!

Which ninja turtle are you? Take the poll.
