Added the ability to mouse around the graph and get some useful information in response. The vertical line follows the x position for the mouse while the horizontal lines show the temperature and rate of change given in the plan for the given time. A text box gives all three values.

Have I mentioned lately how I hate graphics programming? Yeah, still true.

Had a weird baking soda experience today. Shelf had the major national brand that everybody knows about in a little box plus a store brand container. The store brand got you two and a third times as much in one container, but it was priced 10x. I can't imagine they're selling any of that unless it's to people who are just not paying any attention at all to what they're buying.

The cat was still asleep when I went into work this morning so I'm getting extra attention from the cat now.

Making the graph on the web page I've been working on lately interactive to make it more useful. Pretty straightforward code, but finding the relevant bits of documentation to write it was more hassle than it should have been.

Used all the coconut in today's baking.

Realized I didn't need some recently written code and removed it.

Doing some refactoring from my initial quick and dirty port to enable a few features that I think are important. Also, I can barely hear anything today. Nurse mother thinks it might be wax, but the stuff she recommended for fixing that hasn't worked yet.

The cat is looking at a wall.

There's a lot that I could add to the web page thingy I've been working on lately, but I think I'll just see what I can get done by the end of the weekend and maybe throw a version 1.0 online if there's nothing too broken so that other people can have a thing that's useful sooner rather than have to wait until I'm completely happy with it. It's already useful and usable enough for the main use case I had for making this in the first place..

What's up with all the sales pitches I'm getting for POS terminals lately? Emails, text message, in person visit from a sales person. As near as I can tell, the value proposition is that I pay way more money over time so my staff can be slower at helping the customers and I get some features that kind of sort of look like they might make sense if you squint at them just right but genuinely don't belong in a POS terminal. (If I wanted a POS terminal I'd just build a POS terminal)

Had a bit of time before I was going to be able to fire up the coffee roaster so I did a bit of work on the CSV import feature. Had a silly bug in the preview generation code that was highly likely (but not certain) to cause the browser to consume a CPU thread at 100% and all the memory it could get, but that's fixed.

Opened Pinball FX to check out the new season rewards and the game just went ahead and instantly unlocked all of them immediately. Not sure what's up with that, but I'll take it I guess.

Very little coding today, but fixed up a bit of code that would have resulted in strange breakage had anybody attempted feed in a mathematical impossibility. I think that was the last issue I'd made a note of when writing the function so I've removed the comment explaining what was wrong with the old version.

Electrician has finished. I'll want to get a hole in the side of the cabinet to run the power cable through since right now it's snaking the side and it'll get wear that isn't needed, but as a short term have it working thing it's all good now. Unrelated, getting a lot of rain today.

Electrician is working on getting a new outlet installed so we can start using the new cold case. Old one is disconnected (that was hard wired).

Anyway, there's still a decent amount of work that I want to do on this, but I think it's coming together nicely.

The text in that top menu bar thing is the generic system-ui set bold, so that'll also look different on different platforms while the colors used are Canvas, CanvasText, Highlight, and HighlightText. Graph line colors can be set with color pickers in the Graph options to be whatever the user wants.

Web page I've been working on when the system is set to the Breeze Dark theme. This time with a dark roast plan that includes turnaround (when using something like this I generally prefer to ignore that and have it come up from room temperature instead). The top bar shows and hides the various options and controls to make it easier to see what you're doing when you mess with those instead of drowning in a sea of all the controls including ones you're not using at that moment.

I've given some thought to styling and how I want this to look and started to add some of that in. Decided to go with system colors where possible. Kind of cool seeing everything automatically change when I change my system theme.
