Every time I tried to scroll through my paper it got all jerky. It was taking time to load the figures. I jacked up the allowed image cache to 256 MB and set the cache timeout to over an hour. It’s scrolling a lot more smoothly now.

Working in the Rudy Lab
Hello from the lab of Dr.Yoram Rudy at Wash U. I’m using a spare desk they had available here. It’s nice to have a stationary, quasi-permanent place to work once more. I’ve been taking care of home GTD (Getting Things Done, for the uninitiated) stuff after breakfast and then heading in once I’m done with all of that. This usually has me here by 09:30 or 10:30 so far. I expect now that I’m on this routine I should get a bit better about that and typically be here by 09:00.
They’ve let me use this desktop machine that was at the desk, but it’s running (blech) Windows XP. Luckily, I was able to set up a VNC desktop on my server (brocktice.com) and I just switch it to fullscreen. I’m really glad I just upgraded the server a few weeks ago. This would have been painful the way it ran before.
The updates have been somewhat infrequent of late, so I’m renewing my focus on keeping you all posted about the fantastically interesting saga that is my life.

Book Crossing Release Found
Someone registered a catch of a book I released about a year ago, Stephen King’s “The Gunslinger.” I released it in New Orleans, and it has apparently made its way to North Dakota!
Alan is looking better
While he still hasn’t got his color back, Alan (that’s my lab fish, for those of you not following along) is looking better this morning. He’s acting more like his normal self, though I’m concerned because he still seems to be having trouble eating. Will he be restored to his former splendor? Only time will tell.
