Sad news (albeit perhaps not unexpected for a man who enjoys poisoning things) the scientist and satirical song writer Tom Leher has died. I always remember hearing the Elements Song in chemistry at school then discovering Poisoning Pigeons in the Park that my kids love! www.bbc.com/news/article...
American musical satirist Tom Lehrer dies at 97, US media report
Lehrer, a Harvard-trained mathematician, wrote darkly humorous songs, often with political connotations.

Ron Swanson is great!
This release also fixes issues on iOS devices where date-based traits sometimes auto-selected the current date. This is an iOS issue, but a new setting to prevent auto progression prevents this.
We have also fixed issues with trait deletion and export format issues.

When exporting in the long-format, you can now include more information about each individual data point. This includes a full timestamp (rather than just the date), the position of this measurement in the set and the person who collected each data point.

Add even more information to each plot by providing treatment, pedigree or a friendly name.
These provide more information to the person collecting the data.
You can also assign a dedicated barcode for each plot that isn't the same as the germplasm name! This helps keep barcode tags shorter.

First time back to #floorball in 10 years tonight. Different team, some old teammates, a total lack of fitness and what I assume will be a day hobbling about tomorrow with sore muscles. Was great! Stick tape does not store well for long periods and apparently my equipment was 'vintage'
