I remade an old render with a more exact version. The most efficient packing possible of 17 squares into a larger square. I use it as an inspiring example: just because something looks stupid doesn't mean it's not the best that you can do.

Damn it. Just realised I'd agreed to give a presentation at midday on Monday. The middle of the superbowl! Can powerpoint do picture-in-picture streaming?

Bought a new mattress. Extra firm. It's like sleeping on a slightly padded wooden board. I love it.

Once again, everything is awful. But the Seahawks are in the Superbowl and today I saw some penguins in the wild. So maybe not everything.

Every time I've opened this app to post this year I've ended up closing it because everything is awful and we're all going to hell together.
But I've decided to return to my meaningless posting to either bring a bit of entertainment to anyone who sees it, or just for myself.
I've had worse days.

The government can’t claim that medical research is a priority while failing to treat it as one. Nine in 10 leading researchers in Australia are missing out on government support for world‑class proposals, leaving exceptional talent uncertain about their future.
Most researchers miss out on innovation grants while medical fund sits on $25b
Nine in 10 Australian researchers had their “ideas grant” applications rejected last year, even as Australia’s medical investment fund sits on $5 billion more than it was designed to hold.

I'm glad I tried to clean up my local git repo the day before my last day for the year. It gave me enough time to request ITS to recover it from the nightly backups after I lost months worth of code.
Lesson learned for next year.

A lab mate discussed how many oysters they ate at our lab end-of-year lunch. I joked they could send me the photos and I'd analyse them.
Never let it be said that I don't take jokes too far.
Final count was 84.
