Various things

Today I started experiments to look at the long time stability of certain measurements.  It's easy to set-up the instrument and start collecting data, but then it's a long acquisition.  In the mean time I looked in detail at my results from last week.  Figuring what information is present and what I need to follow up on.  I spent a short amount of time in SolidWorks updating parts and prints.  Also I made contact with a shop outside of the school that I'll use for some glass work.  At the end of the day I attended another postgraduate seminar in our school (last week's "How to Find a Post-Doc Position" was in the same series).  This talk was given by my supervisor and discussed the typesetting tool LaTeX which I have been using for the past three years, but I still wanted to attend to pick-up on some of the less technical aspects (history, pros, cons, etc.).
