I just learned that Good Friday's this Friday, so I'm assuming there's no need to go to work this Friday. My supervisor also asked me for my bank account number, reason being that she needs to cash my paycheck in. Unfortunately, I don't know what my bank account number is, so I went to ask my mum.

Ooops.

i use the term "lab" loosely. it's really the old reactor bay where they've kluged together some high voltage supplies, vacuum systems, and called it a plasma lab. it much more resembles a machine shop.

I feel your pain. My research project (nearly a decade ago) was in a dilapidated building that should have been condemned years ago. We had two xenon-flash pumped nd:YAG lasers, each of which went through two frequency doublers. The frequency quadrupled laser beam was powerful enough to burn a dime-sized hole in a business card in only a few pulses. The primary undoubled infrared beam was powerful enough to cause the business card to explode (water in the paper fibres couldn't diffuse out fast enough as the temperature caused its pressure to surge, God that was awesome...). So, the optics were having to carry so much power through them that even a tiny loss of efficiency on reflective or transmissive surfaces could cause them to overheat enough to crack. We needed to be in a fricking cleanroom, and what we had was dust-bunny paradise. We had a HEPA air-filtration unit running full time, and no matter how frequently I changed the filter, there was still dust all over the optic table within a week of cleaning everything.

But obviously I just wasn't taking my cleaning responsibilities seriously. Bah. Some professors are just insane. Hang in there.

ive spent the last 2 days programming a software oscilloscope that reads a value from a adc on my arduino, formats the data along with a timestamp as an 8 byte serial packet, sends it to the computer, where moar software decodes the packets and graphs out the data. i managed to get my sample rate up to around 3.5k samples/second, which is enough to hack ir signals (which happens to be why i wrote it in the first place).

You worked in a dirty lab? I can't stand messy mess. Even I didn't make it I still maintain efficient workspace.

If there's one thing I learned during my summer research stint, it's that a clean lab isn't a working lab at all.

I'm watching a movie titled Abominable. It's a low-budget yeti movie. Not thrilling enough to be good, but it's still watchable if you have nothing better to do.

[EDIT]Well, it's not a piece of movie-making art, but it's been entertaining in its own way.

I solved the booting problem on my PC by wiping out both the partition that had the shishkebabbed bootmgr and the partition I installed the new OS.
Then just installed 7 again. Hooray.

On another note, cyanoacrylate smells tight.

I got back from abseiling down a few rock faces, climbing a few, and a slice of caving. + Obligatory playing of Football whenever time allowed.
