One more tick

Today I had an important meeting for the PGSA.  In the end the great news is that I have one more tick on my master list of work.  I spent the day preparing for the meeting, which took place 2-4 pm.  This didn't leave me much time in the lab, but I did work a couple hours on updating the OS on my desktop computer.  I upgraded to the latest long term support (LTS) version (14.04) of Ubuntu (a Linux desktop environment).  I was running a previous LTS from 2012, which should have seen me through the end of my PhD, but my thinking was to shake my computer now and expose any weak points as to avoid a crisis in the coming months.  So far everything checks out.
