Four weeks since last update?

I can not believe that it had been four weeks since my last update to this blog. Maybe Livejournal should include a functionality in their service where a warning email goes off once you do not post for significant length of time....

Now, I have been busy these four weeks or so. Crazy busy. First the moving to my beautiful new apartment, which I did all by myself, then taking care of my fathers remarriage, his citizenship test tutoring, multiple school stuff deadlines (in preparation for gradschool!), and the io9 synthetic biology contest I must have mentioned a few times in this blog and beyond. 

All of that with my main laptop still broken, so I am still working/playing on this finicky little 7in. laptop called Asus EEE. The default linux distro on this machine is not quite so hot either, and the keyboard goes into a panic whenever I try to do something like Im.... See the lack of punctuation mark over there? The B key does not seem to like getting pushed either. And the hilarious part is that the machine itself is working fine. There is simply something wrong within the OS itself... Something I probably tinkered with.... The replacement board for my laptop will arrive soon, but I plan on purchasing another laptop anyway since the old one is, well, old. I am on the fence between new macbook update supposedly in preparation for September 15ish announcement, and a thinkpad.

Now that things are beginning to gain some semblance of peace at last, I think I might be able to update on this blog quite frequently now... Hopefully.



Now that I think about it, I spent the whole summer working! Now the summers gone and schools are starting... Ugh.
