Installing Linux. I feel dirty.

Do not worry, Prophet. This means I'll have all three operating systems. I'm going to do  bad stuff to all of them.

Oh, that's different.  Carry on.

Pat Robertson has threatened Armageddon if we don't all stop making fun of him on social media.

Fact.

Found my old Asus EeeePC. Installing Linux. I feel dirty.

I found mine in a corner of the t-shirt drawer.  Flogged that thing around public transit until the battery crapped and it no longer made sounds.  Tempted to see if I can get it running again...

Hey guys.

I quite honestly don't know what is keeping me from here. Probably just something I just need to sort out in my head. Just checking in, letting you all know that Twid is ok.

Actually, I have a bit of good news.

Dr. S, the man who fired me many years ago but I still work on the same floor with, recommended me for extra responsibility. I accepted. I had a meeting with a PI today, and we did the preliminary sussing it out.

I was pleased. Dr. S and the PI I spoke to are close friends. I don't know what happened there but I'll take it.

Nice to see you, Twid!

You too!

I fell in somewhat of... not a rut, not a lull, maybe an aimless? I've figured that I've slacked off long enough being useless and not doing anything of note, so since getting all of the necessary permissions at work for new task this week, I was like, fuck it do more shit in the spare time too. So I've been trying to do something productive everyday. Today I sort of slacked on that, since I just got a new library card and ordered a book (Demon Haunted World). Otherwise I've been brushing up on math and trying to be proactive in fighting the perpetual rolling the stone up the hill that is organizing my room/desk at work (also, my gigging amp is under my desk at work....)

How was the trip?

I'm also attempting to lose weight. I've been somewhat successful in that regard. I've lost about 10 lbs.

So last night, my aunt prematurely announced her youngest son's death with bad phrasing (he's very much alive, and this is good news)

She sent a text to someone saying "Pat passed, and I'm crying"

Pat passed all of his classes and is graduating from college in two weeks. She's very proud, and doesn't understand what she did wrong there. I find this kinda funny.

This is distressingly funny.

Today was a slightly distressing day: Among other fiascoes, my cognitive neuroscience professor actually put on the midterm an essay question that stated that "scientists across all disciplines of biology no longer consider the Central Dogma of biology valid" and asked us to explain why.

This is a grossly exaggerated statement that is wildly misleading and betrays a horrifying lack of understanding of the history and meaning of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, and a blatantly irresponsible dissemination of misinformation. I have to say something, I can't let it go unchallenged, but I need to let a little time pass so that I'm less angry and can do it in a way that is more moderate than how I'm feeling about it right now.

Fact.

This smells like OPPORTUNITY.

I want to catch up on the forum but I have to get up at 4:30 to go to the lab. Which is immensely exciting but also it means I have to go to bed now.

I hear that.

I'm participating in a coding competition that goes for 24 hours starting tomorrow night. I have to get up at 6, ride 8 miles, work all day, and then ride 10 more miles to the event in 90 degree heat, and code until Saturday evening.

Which is also exciting but requires me to GTFO the forum. I hardly have time to read it these days.

I managed to gain about five. I was a bit underweight there for a while.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well, here I am after about five hours of not actually sleeping.

That sucked.
