Hm, yeah, that sounds good. I need them for the lab, for test-tubed reference samples. The person befroe me kept them in boxes, and they're a mess. As well as not being taxonomically ordered.

You know those drawers in a library that are real thin and come in a wee stack? What are those called?

Flat files?

I am very jealous of all these home owners. It doesn't help that, in an effort to get hills in on my daily walk, I constantly subject my self to house porn.

And speaking of porn,
Happy Birthday Trudy!!!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, totally, Vortex, congrats! The house looks completely awesome.

Best wishes, Trudy!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Does anyone here know anything about Google Calendar? Specifically, how to invite other users to a shared calendar and how to get it to send me email reminders for my events? Because my boss seems to think I have this all figured out and can teach the rest of the department, but all I've figured out so far is how to add events to my personal calendar and the departmental calendar. I'm trying the Help Center, of course, but somehow it's not helping. Like, I'm adding a new person, but her name/email doesn't show on the list after I click "Add Person." And I've told it to send me email reminders of meetings, but I never get any.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Go into Google Calendar, add a new calendar (assuming you don't want to share your own calendar) then select "share with everyone" or "share with specific person" and add people.

I haven't actually used it myself - I just played around and found this.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So I came into work this morning. Turned on my computer. My computer booted into Windows, and then went "CRRRONK." That was the exact noise.

Three and a half hours later, I have a new computer. And internet access again, thankfully.
