Zooplankton

February 2, 2010 Sampling for zooplankton

Today for lab, we collected water near the dock. We were sampling to see what types of zooplankton were in the surface water in day time and night time. You might be able to see a shrimp-like thing under the scope. Many other things required a bit of magnification. It was fun, except for the counting part. Also, scopes make my eyes sad.

Frame

February 2, 2010

I'm running out of ideas. Usually I take my camera to UW, but this week I didn't. So, here's a photo frame that's hanging in the living room. I want it. My dad bought another frame that doesn't fit my room that well. They could hang it in the place of this one so I get this one.

What else... I helped someone install Ubuntu today. Yay Linux!

Tourist

February 1, 2010 Up close with a bison in Avalon

When you see my album which I will eventually upload, you will be able to tell where the bison comes from. I decided to take this attractive picture. Every time I see a wooden statue of a bison, I must take a picture. So far, I have seen three. Unfortunately, with only 3 inhabited areas on the island, I have probably seen them (the statues) all. :(

Set-up

February 1, 2010

As you know, I installed Windows 7 and started using Dropbox. I was hoping that I would be able to sync chats real-time and preview / edit files on different computers. Turns out, file exchange is too slow to happen in real-time, and Dropbox does not write to files that are already being used by other programs. Also, Dropbox cannot yet be configured to sync arbitrary folders.

So, that picture is my imaginary set-up. Here's reality: I edit and preview on the same computer, on the PC. I chat with you on the Netbook. And I wait until Dropbox is able to sync other folders so I can sync chat logs.
