So after a nearly 4 month hiatus from even bothering to look at my coding, I sat down and cleaned up the parsing code I wrote way back when and got some subroutines going for it. Nothing too fancy, but it should discriminate satisfactorily between RIS and BiBTex formatted library ...

So in following up last night's post, I've been riding on a mildly high on life kick lately. With the move finally being finished from the past month, it has finally given me a chance to settle down and observe things with a little more clarity around me. Lab work ...

I always keep talking about posting more, and I always keep failing at that. Less of a promise now, and more just a hope that I will. My weeks pan out to busier than they expect to be, and on the ones that I'm free, I'm too lazy to do ...

I'm looking for a new apartment. Something to cut down the cost. I investigated an option for a roommate this evening. Seemed nice enough, the apartment is nice, the landlord seemed very welcoming, and ...

I only garnered about five hours of sleep that night, so between errands early on Saturday combined with working on my presentation ...

Last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy. Makes me feel like I need a vacation, but I've been getting the feeling a lot lately. My de-stressing methods have been non-existent as of late. Need to work on that.
What I've been up to lately has included the following:

This weekend is the yearly Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in the Biomedical Sciences (IGPBS) primary recruitment weekend. I have been solicited for help every year since I joined the program as the students have been stated as one of the largest factors for coming to the program here at the University ...

Concerts, photographers, and OpenSolaris, oh my! Please do come inside. If not for the interesting tidbits about the BPO (which I will finish at a later hour), at least stop in for my latest techie project with some gushing on the side about some local photographers!

My committee meeting on Wednesday went about as expected. Unfortunately, I didn't really get to assembling any of my presentation until Tuesday night. I guess this just fulfills my old dogma that I always perform better under a deadline. Maybe this is why I have so many white hairs already...
But ...
