Queuing

Today was a busy day with a variety of activity.  My morning started with showing another students how to use a new software package (SOLIDWORKS).  Afterwards I attended the first session of a joint Massey University and Vic chemistry seminar as one of collaborators from Massey was giving a talk.  Next I left campus to take my wife to airport.  Later in the evening I returned to the lab and worked on some much needed programming.  Specifically tonight I was working on speeding up a data transfer between the memory card on one of my instruments to a desktop computer.  I am extremely pleased with the results and now I can exchange files at a fraction of the previous transfer speed.  I also prepared a sample to run measurements on this weekend.  Nearing my work limit for the day, I've been thinking about compiling a list of all the small tasks I've haven't had a chance to work on the past couple months.  With my wife out of town, I figure I'll spend most of my "off" time catching up on these jobs. 

And don't worry... I haven't forgotten about my writing goals.  I am working to finish my data collection and anaylsis.  Ultimately inching my way towards a complete draft.
