Just pushed out the first release of the report I’ve been working on for what feels like my entire life (or since October, either way). It’s around 33 pages of dense gobbledygook. I have new sympathy for those of you who have subjected yourself to the thesis writing process. It sucks. Hopefully they’ll go “hooray! It’s done!” and not “very interesting, but you must do *these billion things* before we gush enthusiastically and honor your invoice.”<\/p>\n
Today I’m imaging servers in preparation for the class I’m teaching next week. Flying to BWI on Monday evening to teach on Tuesday and Wed at the NIH. This is a pretty cool thing: One of our customers really wanted a class, but couldn’t afford it himself. He sent a note to some list within NIH telling everyone that they should bring me down … and 10 people signed up. Woot! <\/p>\n
At karate last night, I got punched in the face by a 20 year old woman who was back from school for the holidays. It was a total accident, and she was suitably embarrassed and apologetic. I have *got* to start keeping my guard up though. <\/p>\n
Made sauerkraut last night as well as four heads of green cabbage = 10 lbs of shredded cabbage. Mixed with salt, placed in a large crock. It’s burping and fermenting happily now. Supposedly it does this for 3-4 weeks, and then I preserve it. Either that or it goes horribly sideways and becomes compost. Either way, cool by me.<\/p>\n
Also, rigged up the remote sensing weather station that we got for Christmas. I haven’t had a chance to mount the sensor outside yet, so right now we’ve just got warning about how cold it is in the bathroom, which we can see from the bedroom.<\/p>\n
Listened to my Nano on the subway today on the way in. It rocked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
