stellar_muddleHmmmm, the boredom of the last half hour at work on a Fri, especially after an hour 20 min long seminar on more than you ever wanted to know about composite materials, carbon fibres and their astronomical applications. It was interesting for the bits I was awake for...
Remembered to bring in the box of birdseed - happy parrots:) Must bring the digital camera in at some point.
So, the rain has turned patchy and sporadic (according to the radar), so, to walk home or not? Did walk in and will mean perkier in the evening without a soggy bag, but on the other hand, get more exercise and it may not rain again...
A discussion raised from carbon fibres and their use in bicycle (strange conversations around bikkies after) - bikes rely on torque to stay up and torque is mass dependant... so what happens if you make your wheels out of lower mass but stronger tensile material... Do you wobble more?
And the reason for this babble (apart from being bored): I fucked up on my line lists and am procrastinating manually correcting 198 (x2) entries in a spreadsheet and then re-editing them as I spent most of the late morning and early afternoon doing. Fingers crossed that is the cause of the NaN hissy fits from the program. If not, I reserve the right to throw things...
But as I have about 11 min til the bus, I am rapidly approaching Dontgiveashitville, which is bad from a work point of view, but great from a sanity point of view.
