Upgraded my Fedora to version 14 yesterday, which has a new background of intriguing jagged blue thing that I immediately switched away from. Have also learned how to clean up old incompatible system components and now Daemon runs slightly faster, which pleases me immensely. New version of firefox is compatible with more things now (though I still need to manually install JRE plugin, which is annoying) and, for reasons still unresolved, my US English install still has a Firefox with UK English spell checker.
Then I saw the thing about the Chrome OS. I don't use Chrome, mostly because my experience with it so far indicates that it's a fusion (albeit a very shiny, nice fusion) of Firefox and Opera, both of which I have. However, the promise offered by the OS is attractive, even before I got to the bit with the shark shooting lasers out of its eyes (because how can you resist sharks with laser-eyes?). Well, we'll see how that goes.
In the meantime, cloning has officially invaded my subconscious, in the sense that I had a dream last night where all the colonies still expressed beta-gal and the gel dried overnight for some reason. (I guess it qualifies as a nightmare....) I am, also, finally done with classes, with both the requirements for graduation and the requirements for my training grant (well except I still have to go to journal club once a week, but it's journal club). Now the next goal is...publication.
Well.
[edit 8:00]
Have tried to put the new version of OS to hibernation for the first time and the shell script popped up with error, "device failed to thaw". Have no idea yet what that means exactly, yet (error #16, anyone?), but am finding the code uncommonly funny. In the " 'k making defrosting jokes now thx" way.
