As you can see, I ordered one of those nifty Basic Instructions custom avatars. It's me! I can now say offensive things in bubbletext!
Inching closer to house buying. The house we are getting is a short-sale, which is good because we get a good deal, and bad because it takes a long time to get approval for the sale from the seller's lender. Fortunately, we just got word that the bank has assigned a negotiator, and they are sending an appraiser to the house. Our realtor tells us that this means we are likely within 30 days of close, which is all kinds of win. K has been wanting to get into the house for a while now, so as to avoid beginning of year rush/moving issues.
Last week at work was incredibly (65 hours) busy. This is a LOT for me. But, we are on track to meet our deadlines, and this week hasn't been as bad. The software is now feature complete, and I actually have most of this weekend to myself.
On the school front, I've started working with my advisors on projects. At Devolab, I'm initially working on replicating the results of one of the senior Ph.D. students. This is mostly for getting up to speed on the software they use, and becoming familiar with their research and methodologies. The other project is producing a fast DNA sequence storage and retrieval system for bioinformatics applications. The output of this project should actually be really useful, but it's also a pretty gentle introduction to the field.
This weekend is Cottage Weekend, so I'll be working a little bit while I'm up there, and then in a couple of weeks, it'll be Westward Ho. In order to facilitate the traveling, I bought this in black. It's wonderful.
I also got my new bike, which is great, though I haven't yet made a ton of plans for weekend trips.
