work-life balance. stopping work around 40 hours even when I know my boss will be annoyed and it'll make things messier in the future
but that's fine, because the only way management will care to actually schedule things properly is if it actually blows up on them, so yeah. doing my part to better the company by letting shit get fucked.
A tagging system / script using extended attributes. Seems more viable than hardlinks.
One of the algae tanks is not growing well so I have cross pumped water from a tank that is doing exceptionally well twice to try and kick start it. In the morning I will stir and check it. If it is still not great, I will set up the above ground pool, pump the water out and collect the algae from the bottom of the tank. I will filter it then restart the tank with the biomass. I'm picking up a barrel to use for rainwater collection which will fix what I suspect happened: roof debris from the initial fill are sitting in the bottom, fouling the water.
Well normally something to do with my body and keeping it functioned with this undiagnosed thing I have. Lately it's been what sleep tools and bed to chair rotation must I do to keep my joints from being in pain while giving me enough spoons.
Therapy. So far so good!
What have you learned?
That therapy isn't scary and that putting in the work can be satisfying.
Trying to get coreboot to run on the nvidia variant of the ThinkPad T510. I guess it boots now, but I'm probably going to shelve it if I can't get rid of the random freezes this weekend.
Litter box trials.
Whether I could create a new account on Reddit for the first time in years, in order to share articles I have written with more people
Within 24 hours I had one absolutely crazy person declaring that forever more whatever I posted they'd add a comment under it warning people that I'm on a posting crusade (I posted it to one sub: consolerepair)
Needless to say this experiment was flames
That sounds fun. They seem unwell enough to seriously fuck with
Reddit's community is half made up from server farm bots, but sure you are the problem with your excessive posting and need to become this Redditor's lifelong nemesis
Mostly primer ligation and afterwards qPCR right now
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm currently doing Western blots and I feel my soul leaving my body
Whats that?
Am experiment that determines the relative amount of a given protein in a sample. It takes like 8 hours. Since it only gives relative amounts, in order to interpret any data, you need to do it multiple times on multiple proteins to determine what's an "expected" amount and what's an "unexpected" amount.
It's one of my least favorite types of experiments because of how mind-numbingly tedious it is. The only thing worse is qPCR
An electroplating test to see if my setup is capable of coating something thick enough to make it conductive.
It was a success, the coated section of plate was over a millimeter thicker and conducted much more of an electric current
Life.
Its interesting and always new every day. Hope that doesn't end too soon ... That would be a pity...
