Hell Week

Dead week was a bitch this year. I had a 35 minute presentation and a 20 page paper on the effectiveness of astrobiology's education outreach materials in relation to national science standards. I'll post my paper and presentation sometime this weekend.
I attempted to do a non power point presentation. What I found in my prototype is that I was still making content appropriate for slides. As a result I moved back to power point just so I can get the bloody thing done on time. Which didn't happen
They keyboard on my laptop (named Cosm in the tradition I name my machines after science fiction novels) and a small little fight with a can of Coke. The can had been drinking as I smelt some rum mixed in with it. Only the left shift key was slightly sticky so it wasn't a problem. However it rained when I was walking to campus and the moisture got in and spread around causing the control and capslock to be permanently engaged. I disassembled the keyboard and washed it off in rubbing alcohol, but the problem persists. This morning I ordered a new one off of ebay for $30 (<3 to Logicsequence for the links). Thankfully the rest of the machine is fine.

Hehe, that’s what friends are for :). I’m glad they turned out to be much less expensive than i’d thought. :D Now, just keep Cosm from starting fights with alcoholic coke cans and you’ll be set! Or better yet, consume the contents of the alcoholic coke cans first, and then dispose of them, far far away from Cosm. ;)
