This post catches up over the last week.

On Saturday, what had been up until then a relatively benign cold suddenly decided that, no, I can't go and meet thalassius and herringprincess in the city centre. Sunday and Monday followed in a similar vein. I really don't understand this virus and I'm not going to try ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had one of those wonderful headaches whose sole purpose is to tell me that I'm trying to be happy about something that is actually making me unhappy. I get nothing more than that and I have to figure out what's wrong and correct from that. Oh brain, your level of debugging info is just so good ( Read more... )

2. I'm totally programmed out and sick of sitting at a computer.
3. I've just discovered that all the effort I put into making my code compatible with the old analysis pipeline is wasted as I overlooked one teeny ( Read more... )
