Got printing support added to for reports in Typica 2. I hate the way I did it and will probably replace that eventually, but the way I did it gets me something that works for very little effort and honestly I'd rather work on stuff that makes printing less needed in the first place so further work on that is unlikely to be highly prioritized.

The cat is currently purring rhythmically across 7 octaves simultaneously. No clue how she manages that.

Reports in Typica 2 are now far enough along that I've started actually using those for production planning instead of going to another computer with Typica 1 for that. There's still a little more work to do with this, but for the most part all that's left there is bringing over the reports I want to keep. Some operations no longer require a database round trip and are thus much faster and this also represents a significant reduction in code size.

The cat has once again decided that the inside of my right elbow is the perfect cat pillow.

Left a comment about an awful hacky workaround I'd anticipated needing which did, in fact, turn out to be needed for now. On the plus side, a different related problem that could have existed doesn't seem to, so that saves me a little work.

I miss scroll bars. Can we have real scroll bars back please?

Note to self: try the clean build sooner.

Spent entirely too much time trying to figure out how some stuff valgrind was reporting was at all possible. After failing to sort that out I did a clean build and the problems went away. Ugh.

Pluto TV's Star Trek Voyager channel has changed to being a DS9 channel in case anybody wants to watch that as it was originally intended: with advertisements trying to convince you that if you look like a normal person instead of someone with a professional makeup artist and a photoshop expert you should ask your doctor about deadly toxins and here are the 8 ways that'll really mess you up (but ask your doctor anyway).

The cat is pretty sure she wants to sit on me but is unsure of which direction she wants to face.

Replaced about 90 SLOC with about 20 SLOC. The 20 SLOC could be half as large but was spread out so I can understand it when I have to read it again later.

Shop is closed, but I'm at the shop doing some work anyway.

Made some good progress during a night time coding session. Scrapped part of an approach that wasn't working for something that still isn't perfect but at least makes more useful trade offs.

The cat is pretending to be chill with it, but she's bothered by all the exploding happening outside.

It's time to make dinner but there's a cat on my lap.

me: *tries to do a thing*
cat: *sits on me*

The cat has discovered cheesecake.

Web site update is done to make more coffees available to buy there. Waiting on a mailing list update preview before sending that out (I like to give it one more proof read in a proper email client before sending that). Mailing list subscribers are up again compared with when the last update went out. That's pretty much always the case since it's a very low volume list.

the cat has declared it hugs time

I guess I did a little better than I thought. Was still decently high at 129, got in a few more attempts to move back up to #18. Still not all that happy with the runs and still expect to drop quite a bit before it's over.
