Pictures as promised. Spent the majority of today doing actual work. Wrote some code for Jun Xie who wants to seed a a dynamic programming all pairs best match algorithm with the protein matches from BLAST. Her idea isn't bad, but I think it will get stuck on local maxima and won't be an order of magnitude better than random seedings.

I spent the evening debugging code for the project that I am working on with Professor Katy Simonsen. Her project seems much more fruitful. She was a Solaris administrator as a graduate student so she is quite knowledgeable about UNIX and programming. In addition to her competence she has a delightful demeanor. As such she has been a joy to work with.

This evening in a search for an email address I stumbled across the LiveJournal of someone I know. I noticed that so called "blog" entries tend to describe other people and list relations in great detail as opposed to cataloging events as I do here. Even though this is primarily intended as a personal history and a reservoir of thoughts I suppose I must have made it public for some reason. In the future I will attempt to introduce new people to provide context as I mention them in order to make this more palatable or perhaps even "interesting" to others.
