#introduction

I'm part owner and roaster at a little coffee company in Wisconsin. Author of Typica, a popular free program used to capture and work with coffee roasting production records that's used at roasting companies all over the world. Volunteer on the Roasters Guild education committee. Available for paid coffee consulting, training, open source software development. Living with a cat who broke into my house and decided to stay. Likes: cute, travel, food. Dislikes: blinking lights.

Between an early arrival and a longer layover I could take ICN more leisurely than SEA. Enough time to use a bathroom, fix my hair.

Connecting flight 1 wants to leave early. Did fast walking and used the non-moving stairs to get to the gate fast enough to beat the all zones boarding call.

Got the seat with leg room.

I've been informed that my cat calmed down 10 minutes after I left.

Made it to the gate for today's first flight. Very little traffic, everybody at the airport has been pretty chill.

While the cat was good about waiting patiently and going into the travel box, she made sad noises on the entire trip to Mom's house and kept complaining once there. Hopefully this won't be a repeat of last time when she stayed at my sister's place and stayed mad the entire time I was gone.

I think the cat has figured out that I'm going on vacation. She was loudly protesting my leaving the house this morning.

Put my physical mail service on hold for the imminent vacation.

Cat wants lots of hugs tonight.

Pro tip: Amazon is not going to contact you about refunding money with a text message sent from Tunisia. There's no way that isn't a scam. Don't click the link, just report spam and block.

Production test batches both turned out nicely.

The first time I built a pyro Qiqi I was only able to get her to deal a bit over 305K damage (but hitting 3 enemies at once so if you want to add those up and call it over 900K I won't object). Years later she's doing more than 8 times the damage with today's hit for 2,511,657. The boss can provide another 5 buff stacks if the curse doesn't kill off the team so there's still room for improvement but I'm happy with the 2.5M for now.

The cat is jealous of my pizza.

One of today's spam emails has a subject in Arabic and a message in Chinese. I don't read enough of either language to tell what they're trying to sell me.

Today's meeting went well. Wasn't expecting to get an order out of it today but they were ready to go on that.

Did a PDF export from LibreOffice on my laptop and for some reason it decided to replace all of the non-bold 0 with fi. Doing the same export on a different computer didn't replicate the problem. This is why I generally make my PDFs with xetex instead.

Today's physical mail included a data breach notification for my father who has been dead for years and hasn't lived at this address for even more years. Needless to say, I'm not signing him up for credit monitoring.

Why did the raccoon cross the road? I don't know, I'm just glad I didn't run it over.

Had to fire a supplier. I was expecting a couple shipments from them, but after I'd already paid for the first one the owner of the company informed me of a change in payment terms which is really the sort of thing that needs to be disclosed either before sending out contracts or in the contract. Their new terms are unacceptable to me and they weren't willing to make an exception to honor the original deal so I'm not getting the other shipment. A shame as the coffee would have been excellent.
