Today was an exciting day, if not a busy one. I finished (more aptly finished for now) the code I was working on for one of my home built instruments. On that note, I had an idea this weekend on how to improve the mechanical design of the device. To see if I was on to something, I headed down to the workshop to talk the machinists through my latest inspiration. The response from the boys was literally, "Why wasn't it designed that way in the first place?" A bit of ribbing, but it tells me we're moving in the right direction. Back in the lab and thinking about programming, I spent the rest of the morning working to update the instrument's documentation.
In the afternoon I had meetings with the Director of Student Academic Services and then the President of VUWSA (the main student association at Victoria). Both were great meetings and I returned to the lab feeling positive.
Add to all this the fact that registrations for the PGSA's 3 Minute Thesis Competition are starting to roll in, making today, truly, one of the better days in recent history.
