We’ll move some stuff around

Yesterday there was a validation error with the aggregations which took ages to resolve, but I eventually got them up by like lunchtime working in between meetings. I washed my hair, met with Indicators, including a new observer D who is an experienced project manager, then worked on fixing the aggregations and catching up on slack and the issue tracker. Lunch, met with L for the weekly anomalies report, and met with P from the viz team and discussed coordination and the current release. Did some tests to check that the data releases will go off as planned, which was a good idea because there was stuff to fix there. Got introduced to J at the INI to coordinate the hackathon we’re planning for the 19th. Nowcasting had their new signal with standard errors ready end of day, so built the release candidate demo and sent it out.

The first AC company came to do an estimate just before lunchtime; P handled most of it. Because of city building permit schedules, we are unlikely to get AC before August, which sucks, but them’s the breaks. He was also reluctant to consider high-velocity mini ducts, in favor of a simpler traditional ductwork solution that would cool the top two floors and let the ground floor cool passively. Most of the ductwork would end up in closets, with a bit in the staircase and second floor landing. Acceptable, but not ideal; I’m interested to hear if the second company recommends similar.

Dinner, crossword, DS9, snack, sleep. Dreamt of trying to function on campus with social distancing. Not fun.
