I've had a beastly head cold (like a jackhammer on the brain) since Monday afternoon, and little time to sleep, so I took today off to just sleep. But since I couldn't possibly sleep all day long, I put this together as well:...
There are advantages to being sick. In this case, since I've been home in bed all day, I spent some of my waking time to put together this dashboard:
Having half a dozen different websites has made it almost ...
It's way late and I really ought to be in bed, but I just got back from dinner at my family's. But then again, I'll be with them forever, so I guess staying quite that long on Sunday nights isn't entirely necessary. :P Anyway, my first impulse was ...

Lately the displays in the library have been bothering me. They show how many computers are in each part of the lab and how many are currently occupied. The bothersome parts are outlined in my comment on the library blog. (The image didn't go through, though.) ...
