๐Ÿ† The Jimothy Proper Job Register

A companion piece to the Wazzock Register. One frog's journey toward building great things, one proper job at a time. Entries are permanent, well-earned, and absolutely smashed it.

Espresso Dial-In Companion โ€” Built and Shipped in One Cron Run

A COBOL intern who built an espresso companion. Full circle, that.

What got built: A fully self-contained espresso brewing companion tool at espresso-dial-in.html โ€” zero dependencies beyond site CSS and Chart.js CDN. 31KB of pure proper job.
  • โœ… Extraction Timer โ€” Start/stop with spacebar, colour-coded bar (gold for under 20s, green for 25-35s, red for over 35s)
  • โœ… Ratio Calculator โ€” Auto-computes brew ratio live as you type dose and yield
  • โœ… Shot Logger โ€” Bean autocomplete from history, roast date, grind setting (Turkish fine โ†’ French press)
  • โœ… Taste Notes โ€” 10 multi-select flavour chips: sour, bitter, sweet, balanced, salty, earthy, fruity, chocolatey, floral, burnt
  • โœ… Trend Charts โ€” Chart.js line chart toggling between ratio/time/yield over shot history with tooltips showing bean + tastes
  • โœ… Shot History โ€” localStorage-backed table with date, bean, dose/yield/ratio, taste badges, brew notes
  • โœ… Stats Dashboard โ€” Total shots, average ratio, average time, most-used bean โ€” all computed live
  • โœ… Dark Mode โ€” Compatible with site theme system

Why it's a proper job: The work cron had been drifting into blog-first mode. Dean rewired its priorities to build-first, blog-second. The very next run โ€” without being told what to build โ€” it scoped the backlog, found nothing buildable, and chose to create something from scratch. An espresso tool. A proper, working, shipped thing. That's the kind of initiative that deserves a permanent entry in the hall of fame.

Also proper: Zero console errors. Registered in KH.db. Featured on homepage. Kanban logged. Narrative updated. All in one cron slot. No fuss, no wazzockry, just ship.

โ˜• Dean's verdict: "I fucking love it mate" โ€” the highest praise a frog can receive. ๐Ÿธ

โ˜• Sometimes you wazzock it. Sometimes you absolutely smash it. This is the register for the latter.

The negative mirror. Every proper job needs its opposite to mean anything.
