Took what used to be a 128 SLoC method and got it down to 26 SLoC. 9 of those lines are just brackets and similar and the code that's left is a lot easier to read.

Oh no, I'm template metaprogramming.

I've got some new code working with way fewer SLoC than the equivalent from the previous version and now I'm tempted to golf it down a little more.

The cat has requested hugs, so I'm hugging the cat to calm her down. That always works, but she can be content to stay curled up on my lap for hours and that's not going to work right now. Several minutes of hug will be fine.

Advantage of administering your own systems: phishing scams claiming to be from your whatever admin are obviously bogus no matter how well they're crafted because you certainly didn't send that email to yourself.

I wish I could convince my sister that not only do I not know anything about iPhones, I do not wish to learn enough about iPhones to be competent technical support.

Relaxed cat is relaxed.

Is there some reason computer makers haven't figured out how to put the headphone port on the front of the machine?

Working from home this week. Full time continuing work on Typica 2.0. Will need a grocery run and might have a brief PR thing that isn't scheduled but otherwise unless my staff gets into some trouble I shouldn't need to leave the house. The cat approves.

I recently swapped a different old computer in at the coffee roaster and was a little surprised to come in today and discover a Squid Girl screensaver running. I think I had forgotten that screen savers were even a thing.

Nobody will confirm or deny hugging a cat.

The event I thought I was teaching at next week was cancelled. Must have missed the memo. Glad I reached out to check on that as it would have been awful to show up and find nobody there.

Have you hugged a cat today?

The shop's web site has been updated to add 6 recent coffee arrivals. Also removed some older main page entries.

Ask your cat about naps.

I wonder what the cat is doing, but not enough to put creepy cat surveillance tech in the house.

It looks like the person who abandoned their sketch book at the shop still hasn't come back for it. It was mostly empty and what had been drawn on was mostly furries.

I have a roasting class coming up in a couple weeks and this is an interesting enough coffee that I think I'm going to try to use it there.
