When things are working

When things are working... don't leave the lab!

That's the advice I've heard a number of times over the past couple years and today I am taking the message to heart.  So far it's been a big day and I say "so far" because it's not over yet.

This morning I made some awesome progress revising some parts and I think I've sorted a big issue that's been looming for the past few days.  I haven't finished my prints, but I was able to get a jump start on a handful.  Not exactly what I wanted, but there's no point in having a blueprint if the part would not work!

In the afternoon I moved on to testing my latest sample.  It takes some time to run a suite of experiments as there are a number of temperature steps followed by equilibration.  I am on to my second go, as there were a few bugs the first time around.  What data I did get from the preliminary series looks pretty good.  There's definitely something of interest going on and hopefully today or next week I'll capture a reasonable data set.
