<\/a>It’s been a pretty good couple of days.<\/p>\n

Spent the weekend out in the catskills with technolope<\/a>, capital_l<\/a>, multiplexer<\/a>, ect<\/a>, mcniadh<\/a>, aerospcgrl<\/a>, and Nichole, whose LJ handle I do not know<\/strike> fire_starter_<\/a>. Ostensibly, it was an “art” weekend. Many of the participants practiced their artistic hobbies … which included everything from painting to chainmail making. For my part, the closest I got to art was in playing my cello and practicing my forms (hey, I’m a ‘martial artist’, right?). Still, I walked into it with a goal of getting some quality, undistracted, thinking done … and I certainly did that. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Compassion, compassion, compassion. It really all comes down to acting with compassion.<\/p>\n

Had a funny experience at work today – I think I was stuck in the mud and not as open as I could be to a new and nifty technology. My colleague cariaso<\/a> suggested a very innovative way to use content tags on a wiki instead of making up a web based database of some sort. My initial reaction was to pooh-pooh it … but as we wrangled the idea around … it’s actually very clever. If you’re trying to manage a small to moderate number of very free-form documents … with a small number of pieces of metadata which might be consistent across them … some clever scripting on a wiki can do it for you. Turns out that this is almost exactly the case when you’re dealing with a small lab that needs to keep track of experiments. here<\/a> is kinda what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
