Odd jobs

With a couple meetings and errands, today was also a bit of a blur.  I did stay true to my week's ambition, to prepare for my upcoming trip, by starting to collect and organise what equipment I need to take.  When I had a chance to sit at my desk, I worked on a couple programmes which run on various electronics that I've built and will take with me next month.  Also, and this was a bit of fun, I ran our lab's new 3D printer to make a couple replacement parts, with a couple custom modifications. I've been good not to be distracted by the printer, but these jobs had a purpose and it wasn't a make work (or make fun) exercise.
