I suspect this might contribute to the total lack of outside code contributions, but it does make me more productive, especially if it's been a while since I've modified the program.
For those wondering WTF a .w file is, the core of Typica is written in literate C++. The .w files get processed by ctangle to produce the files the compiler expects and you can optionally run the same stuff through cweave to get a .tex that pdftex can turn into a (currently) 649 page book of source code documentation (which is unfortunately not as nicely typeset as version 1.0 was).
My sister made another mask for me. Now I can choose between topographic dinosaurs, monochromatic dots, or whatever I borrow from the supply of work masks. I think she's going to make a couple more for me now that she knows I prefer the type that's tied on behind the head instead of looping behind the ears.

If your state gives you a "mail in ballot" you can almost certainly go drop it off and either a drop box or a county office at a time of your choosing.
Mask up and go drop it off as soon as you can. Avoid any possible shenanigans.
Please repeat or boost this message so folks who haven't done this before understand.
Also early voting is your friend!!
Thanks.
It would also make it a lot easier to incorporate images and data from that into videos. I could do some fun stuff live streaming roasting sessions if I can get it working well.
I'm not promising anything (I don't know if anybody really wants to support this) but I've got the go ahead to see about maybe extracting the code from the auxiliary computer and turning it into a library that could get loaded by Typica (since such a library would be derived from unreleased code that's not mine, I wouldn't be releasing that library without coordination with the rights holder). That likely involves rewriting in C++ but it would save desk space and both a DA and AD conversion.
Roaster cam is expected to return Monday, though without all the planned modifications. I'll see how that looks when it returns and might end up doing a later hardware mod myself (hopefully with instructions). Software side things are good to go so I'll now have four data series graphed at my production roaster: bean temp, air temp, rate of change of bean temp, and degree of roast.

Being angry at your barista on Facebook over their employer going along with a municipal mask ordinance is not going to convince their boss to take on the risks associated with you choosing not to put on a mask (that the shop is happy to provide at no charge if you don't have one). PS, the competition has the same requirements and some of them won't give you a free mask. Good luck finding someone willing to sell you a coffee.
