Sitting in the lab…

I guess I haven’t posted anything in a while… again…

Trying to come up with a title for my dissertation project…

It is a generalized framework that attempts to add a standardized structural layer to the genomic annotation…

genome, framework, structure, function,

GFSF?

are YOU living in a computer simulation?

According to the NYT and Dr. Bostrom from Oxford University you just might…Thanks Damon for the Article 🙂

As of August 10th the rachitic fabled shpakOO’s German server has been retired…[`][`][`]let’s hope that the current setup will be slightly easier to manage=updated more often. 

shame on me

it seems that recently certain other(s) have been posting more on my blog than myself…

that does not mean that i have nothing to write about, just the opposite, in fact, there is so much happening that simply there is no time to think about blogs… Nonetheless…I’m sitting in HGS waiting for Dean’s Reception (a.k.a free food), my apple computer is back from repair shops, and purring in the background, i guess happy that i’m making it work so much … I have a few seconds before the food is unleashed upon us, or the mysql query that runs in the background crashes on me whichever happens first…let’s write.

The new school year started.

Pavi and I already agreed that classes do not fit well into our schedules 🙂 After a whole summer of lab work, the rigour of classes kindda caught us by surprise…

The shopping period is not over yet, but I thing I’ve already made up my mind about what to take:

  • AI, why not…
  • Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, i might actually learn something
  • one more… ah, yes, Translational Biomedical Informatics…

(40 minutes of battery life left)

Let us go back to whatever happened to shpakOO in the last few weeks ( shpakOO’s flaky memory implants do not allow him to reach back in time further than that…) shall we?
So… Damon has finally moved to a new appartment located in an extravagant neighbourhOOd of SONO, i helped moving, there were Revelations, overall, however… he’s been around in my life for way over 9 months, and i really hope that the 5 year rule won’t apply here 😉 (you know who you are 😉 )

My brother and I went camping together in Lake George ! That was wicked cool. Besides certain incidents related to excessive drunkardness of two Irish who by some strage coincidence decided to tag along, it was a great trip, and just what I needed to reload my batteries before the new year…

Painted Pony Rodeo show has opened my eyes at how strange this world can be if a dozen middle aged cowboysmen attempt to wrestle the very cows while the enthusiastic crowds cheer, the beer flows, and kids purchase mini-lassos from a vendor…

My first game of laser tag ended, obviously, with an overwhelming victory for MY team 🙂 I guess that made me feel slightly better after a horribly rigged gokart race when I was given a deffective, the slowest, vehicle and ultimately arrived at the finish line doubled or even trippled by some… oh well 😉

(29 minutes remaining… that mysql query is eating up a lot of juice… i should optimize)

Very good time… unfortunatelly the weather was a bit less than optimal.

The week following that escapade, Damon and I spent some time together on a Clam Festival of SONO …  or was it Oyster festival? Hard to tell, because both were VERY hard to spot… hmmm… false advertising?Clam chowder was decent but again, not good enough for an event of this magnitued and with focuse on New England Oyster Industry… Luckily, thanks to Stew and his Leonard, Damon and I ( i just can’t seem to be able to write that enough times :)) prepared a scrumptious soup which was consumed while watching some Faulty Towers… yum and yum.

Now, parents escaped to Poland for some 10 days of reunioning, family feud’ing, business taking-care-of’ing… I hope they get home to Grandma & Grandpa safely =)

well… with 22 minutes left on my battery-meter, i think it is time to put the virtual pen away, kill the mysql query which should have been done 20 mintues ago, and go get some food before they run out of hot-dogs and beer 🙂

hugs to everyone, expecially to certain somewhat who shall not be named here, all i’m gonna say kudeta, yo, and 3 random digits

It’s been noticed that someone indeed reads this stuff, (wow!!!) and responds 🙂

and he(…) thought that goes unnoticed…

far from it.

In fact, the administrators of this website would like to thank all of those who-shall-not-be-named’s of this world for their continuing efforts to keep the community of shpakoo.com growing and entertained.
