Diagrams and datasets remain

Yesterday I shut off the Y survey autobot for good, since it has stopped generating results files altogether. I spent most of the day writing the hackathon kickoff presentation, with a break for lunch, the Engineering meeting (which is the new name for Indicators), and miscellaneous Slack conversations to clarify how the prototype validation code works, and lend my enthusiasm to scheduling meetings for team leads so we can shift discussion out of the lab-wide meetings.

P got my first run-through off the presentation, and gently but efficiently helped restructure what needed restructuring. We had dinner, then I gave the second run-through to A and J, who had additional feedback that dovetailed beautifully with P’s. J had to run but A and I wrote a nice conclusion, then stayed on the line to gossip about various campus news. P made a small hilarious cameo coming into frame dealie-boppers -first, which she much appreciated. A is good people and I’m really enjoying having more of her in my life with this hackathon happening.

Crossword, sleep, dreamt of something complicated and solving it with a group of people but that’s all that’s left.

The greatest rhetoric you can possibly offer of something’s importance to you is to give your time. Nobody is given more than 24 hours in a day, and each of them is precious.
