Got some data

Filed under: Normal boring stuff — Tyler @ 11:20 am

I’ve been pushing like a mad man to get some positive definitive data to present at this year’s ASMS conference. For those who have not done research just imagine being obsessed about something that did not give you any superficial reason to be captivated by it. Maybe it is the hunt that I enjoy, I don’t know.

Anyway, I finally got an expected, clear result. Usually what I have been getting lately is a bucket of muck. Now I have to see how broadly I can apply my idea to my thesis project. This is just the start. At least it provides some encouragement to continue on the path. I’ve left out any detail about my ideas, I’ve already been scooped once and don’t want that to happen again.

Please flush

Filed under: Irritating Things — Tyler @ 6:14 pm

The toilets and urinals in our building flash automatically. The flash devices on the urinals don’t have a button to force a flash, but the toilets do. When you stand to use the toilet (usually when the urinal is in use), the toilet does not flush because the sensor is calibrated for users who are sitting. That’s why there’s a button. Some people on my floor don’t know about the button or are just lazy. I know exactly what can happen in a bathroom, so I don’t need a visual reminder. So, please remember to flush, even if the flush is supposed to be automatic.
