Time flies! Seeing as I'm off to the lab between 08:15 and 19:00 (approx., inlcuding transit and shopping) and I'm doing reading outside of those hours, I'm not here that often. I've also been located in Amsterdam for some of the remaining time, but as my reason to be there just moved to Exeter, that'll no longer be the case. Que planning to leave for England (again). Maybe I should also start to plan to leave permenantly.
But before I start to do that, I'll at least hole up here for at least two years. Along those lines, I'm also finalising the furniture in the room. The latest addition are two identical bedstands on wheels, that sit beneath the table and are used to store my pots and pans. I still need a cabinet for up against the wall to store my plates and glasses. On the next-week list is hanging up some mini shelves above the kitchen and possibly increasing shelf space in the rooms by utilising some unused space (yes, I still had some). Also unused: the staircase, undoubtedly I'll find something creative to use it for.
For those asking about the research: I've been working op copying small parts of the DNA encoding for a protein and getting bacteria to express what's encoded on that DNA. This involves putting it in a vector. As there were weird results (probably because the supply of vector was contaminated) and part of the copying also didn't give results (probably a primer problem), I'm starting over.
As for Blog maintenance etc.: I'm low on time in that direction. I just accidentally wrecked my freeBSD install (turning it into a media server linked to my TV and Stereo), so that's restoring in the background. I'm looking into using Skype (via my MSN Messenger e-mail address) to dial out (need a field test of PC to PC first). The blog is next on the computer priorities list...
Links? Ow well, I'll dig something out.

- This I don't get. Is it because I'm a guy, or is there really no point? Walk
- Probably at least the 1st repost, yet here's one of the examples that good flash animation is still possible: Beatles - I feel fine
- Revenge on snail mail spam: Revenge
Well, that's it for now...
