Tonight is possibly clubbing with friends who have made a house sale after months of (the usual) horrors...

#today is conference #poster work day (and bath day, unconnected).
Tonight is possibly clubbing with friends who have made a house sale after months of (the usual) horrors...
And it seems to be #NewScientist
#today am on campus at uni, I have shared an updated draft of my paper with my other supervisor, and I am starting on my poster...
Online PowerPoint will not do metric measurements. I wonder which bizdev genius thought that would drive desktop sales?
I heard the UK Government's Children's Commissioner on #BBCRadio4 #Today Programme about an hour ago.
I won't get into the #UKPolitics of the discussion (a consultation on …
On my way into uni #today, though hotter than I'd usually like to be travelling (~30C), so I am exposing my manly tank top to the train a/c to try to be less damp upon arrival... A friend is taking his viva today, so there may possibly be a beer afterwards...
#today we have been cleaning while blasting the #SouthPark #musical soundtrack."Shut your f**king face uncle f**ker" :catjam:
#today visited the ARC@KU #retrogaming
#today I have made some progress on the paper. I think that it is good enough to trouble my supervisors with tomorrow. Then I can start on the conference poster!
#today given that there is negatively-priced electricity available (though not to us on our #tariff), so lots and lots of renewables, I am running #maintenance (hot)
#today is #RepairCafé ... and we're also on the way to setting up a new branch in a smaller library nearby!
#today I having been plugging away at the new paper. I've nearly finished starting...
Well I am on course for a first draft this evening which will need at the very least heavily cutting down, or some more drastic action...
Tomorrow is #RepairCafé...
#today I must I must I must I must improve my paper (and try and get it to good draft stage, to share with supervisors). I will also be helping a friend with some legals, being a witness to a bit of admin. I also have a small wash of #NewScientist articles to read. Oh, and a bath, timed to hel…
#today I am trying to find a way through some trying insurance stuff for our putative new #RepairCafé and then will be probably back on some #research stuff - 3D building outlines in
#today I am about to lunch (like a student!) and will continue work on my paper while some of my family is at the Arsenal parade...
#today I caught up on some admin around one project in advance of a Zoom call for it, had the next stage of a slow-mo fight with insurers for a proposed new #RepairCafé, and two of us had to wrestle with the cable TV company cancellations folk for an hour to avoid home phone cut off AND price …
#today I'm not even going to try working on my paper as am at a friend's party this afternoon, and have a huge #NewScientist article backlog glaring at me! House in heat lockdown, though probably not going to get to 30C...
#today will be mainly spent avoiding the heat again (34C forecast), with not much 'work' planned. I will attempt to keep on top of the #NewScientist article flood, if it arrives (only 5 unread tabs at the moment).
Not looking forward to temperatures forecast to touch ~34C #today and tomorrow. House is already in heat lockdown mode https://www.earth.org.uk/manage-the-heat-Maltese-style.html…
#today it seems that Sunday morning is *obvs* the right time to hack in the boilerplate changes for my new draft paper! And I already made a bunch of edits to my mentee's position paper. Shoot me now...
#today I'm back (on Firefox, on macOS, on my MacBook, in my logged in session here)!
What do you mean you didn't notice that I was away / typing less? Huh? Huh?
Anyhow, I've been doing very little today, aspiring to the @… level of wo…
#today I have fitted an extra circuit-breaker to an experimental doohickey that I have going, I have checked some documents for friends, and I am about to do some admin including for a meeting next week. All wrapped around a nice warm relaxing bath*.
*Except for some HUGE knots in my hair!
#today I did several hours of QA work for a new uni BA course (as one paticipant in a Teams meeting), which was pleasant and interesting, and I think that I managed to jam sustainability a bit more firmly into the new course! Tomorrow is meetings with friends but also I really really ought to do work on my #buildingModel
#today I am *slowly* getting some admin done and doing some tinkering. My order with 12 Volt Planet was dealt with this morning, hurrah!
(I have also run the dishwasher and have laundry out on the line, and I think I shall go for a quick walk...)
#today I have just caught up on the #NewScientist article backlog, I am fiddling around with some logging detail for my microinverter proof-of-concept, and will probably go round to a friend's for the afternoon...
#today I am in at uni again (there was a third poster session this morning) and have the inventors' club this evening back in Kingston.
#today is a grand library tour with the new Repair Café at Tudor Drive in the morning, returning some stuff to the main library, and now on my way to chair KEF at Tolworth library, and meet the people who run the library services as it happens!
#today will involve a bath, the #NewScientist article flood, some #research work (I think I may have settled on a change of building archetype in a set of 4), and prep for tomorrow's new taster …
Yesterday had some unplanned #nightclubbing which meant #TaiChi with minimal breakfast and a slight hangover #today ... Just ordered some bits for my off-grid tinkering. Not doing much else...
#today I should do more admin and #research but also I'm going to prep some ideas for adding a little bit of #plugInSolar now that our

#today is a uni day, and though my mind is currently on my #PintOfScience talk for Monday and catching up on email, I have some interesting #research stuff to think about...
