Where have we been? That’s a pretty damn good question. We’ve been busy. I’ll try to fill everyone in, but I have to start from the beginning. . .which I guess would be sometime around October 1st.
Well, to start off, Katie on the other hand has been busy almost every waking moment with her research. Her animal studies have been completed, she is working on her final target compound, and is nearing the finish line with her computer modeling. Only thing left is that gigantic paper she has to write. It has become clear that she won’t be officially graduating until May, but she should be able to defend her thesis come January and after that she can get a job. She just won’t have that piece of paper that makes everything official.
Me on the other hand, I’ve basically been working and then relaxing on my evenings and days off. I have found time to finally get a decent file server setup at the house. It has a 1-TB RAID-5 array, which should be plenty for us. We’ve currently only filled up 23% (approx. 230 GB), but that frees a lot of stuff off our of computer drives. The best part is that I have it setup to backup to Carbonite, that way if anything happens all of Katie’s important research and all our pictures are safe. I highly recommend it to everyone. I have also spent time cleaning out the spare bedroom and slowly getting rid of the stuff in there. We donated our old waterbed frame to Goodwill and gave MJ a lot of stuff too. It feels nice to have an almost fully functional spare room again.
