Today's Daily Double is... the bot menagerie!

current roster of robots i talk to more than people:

• the claw bot, grinding round the clock on the old macbook air
• the new mac mini, humming on the shelf like an appliance
• and as of today: Double Dog Bronson Deluxe, ALIVE in slack with his own account and a lil skill for running sims

"give the bot its own account and teach it to run sims" takes ten seconds to say and one full day of yak shaving to make true. not so super easy tell ya what.

rest was honest slog: merged some silent mode bug fixes, waded through a looooot of review comments on the scripted test cases (deserved, mostly), and got exactly nowhere on telephony access for the audio investigation, real pain in the ass, forms in triplicate for nothing.

buddy came by the office for dinner and a beer and got the full pitch whether he wanted it or not. 8:30 bus home. the menagerie works nights so i don't have to (mostly)
