Get in Babkans and other fedizens, we're doing Tuesday.

Today has been busy, and my activity stats reflect this, which is a good thing because I'm bent on keeping this week's streak going.

We put in a small grocery order and I dealt with that, every dish we own is clean with the exception of the ones we've used today so far, and now I'm finally sitting down at my desk to get some web development done.

I was going to go outside for a bit but it's super humid out there. Today is promising to be a hot one, with temps getting up to 92F (33C), so I think we're officially in the thick of summer at this point. It's going to be a long one.

Oh no I'm not trying to place blame. We have a client whose finance department can't or won't interface with our invoicing system, so we're stuck sending them a manual invoice every month they need one, and it's honestly a huge pain just to keep the numbers on track so as to not mess up the record keeping.

Oh a thing I forgot to mention earlier.

Google is apparently upping the hostility game by stealth-blocking Youtube when visited using Firefox. It signed me out yesterday, and every time I tri to sign in, it just hard redirects to the /oops page. I even tried turning off UBlock Origen along with ensuring I'm signed into the right Google account. No dice. But when I use Chrome to browse to YOutube, just like magic, Youtube works just fine. Guess we can add this to the list of how to make people hate you tactics Google seems to be bent on employing.
