Yes, all of it. All the science is belong to me.

Also, 2008 citation FTW. Looks like a very useful paper too.

...not very well, so it seems. Yes, I am in the lab office, supposedly trying to wrestle the 1.5GB of data I have into 5000 words of terse, insightful prose. However, I seem to have spent much of the morning catching up on LJ, realising how many people on here I miss a great deal, and looking forward to finally having some free time to put this ( Read more... )

Post-rehearsal discussion of LJ in the Mitre the other day reminded I still have one, and lo, when I log in it decides to present me with a post written some time last term. So, for posterity's sake:

( this was my life about 2 months ago )

I've just lost 2 days work, at a time when everything is moving slowly anyway, and very frustrating. NUTS seems to be incapable of saving a list of peaks and labels. This is a vital operation - it should be one of the most obvious things you'd use the software for. I can't imagine how it could be so broken and remained unnoticed. Yet again, until ( Read more... )

I have a new monitor. This is a marvellous thing, as it doesn't take up my whole desk. However, the old one had the advantage of being here, until I got rid of it. Since then I've been without internet or music, which has been strange ( Read more... )

It's late, and I've still not done a couple of the minor jobs I'd been intending to get around to, but they'll wait til tomorrow. Facebook and LJ are clearly more important. HHOSI think I'm coming around to the idea that I don't actually look terrible in photos - I seem finally to have learned to turn off the gormless rabbit-in-headlights ( Read more... )

Did I say a few weeks ago that it would do me some good to be working regular 9-5 hours in the lab? I must have been mistaken. I've not been out before 7pm yet this week, and I was in last weekend, and will be again this weekend. On Friday night I didn't get home until 10:30. It doesn't seem to be doing me much harm yet, but it is making me wonder ( Read more... )

And, in further news to my not being dead, I've had a pretty good day in the lab, figuring out that an HSQC spectrum can't be phased to be all-positive, but that it's alright because the negative peaks just indicate CH2 groups rather than CH or CH3 ( Read more... )

I'm still here, sometimes. Sometimes here is Merifield now, or the lab where I'm working. Two days in and it's slightly mindboggling how little of what you need to know to actually do useful work on the machines is taught. Seems like a bit of a theme, everything that's really useful to know is untaught, and you have to learn it by innovation, ( Read more... )
