I haven’t blogged in a while, mostly because I’m either doing something else, or when I want to, I find out I’m really tired (this and the past week have been very tiring for me). In any case, I’ll make a big, random entry.

Finally I have some time to give an insight of what happened Tuesday and Friday, when I left for Trento to attend to the ITC-irst’s meeting called “Biobanks for functional genomics”. The trip was mostly uneventful, though we had to wait a lot once we arrived at the ITC-irst because we were way earlier than expected. I spent time talking to some people there, they work in an interesting field: applying computational methods to microarray expression data. I was the only one with a biological background there, the rest had degrees in mathemathics or physics.

I’ve been migrating settings and files from the old router to the new one (check my brother’s blog to understand better what I’m talking about). I noticed the free space already dropped significantly, as you can see from this:

I’m very happy to write that I got a second drawing from firekitty! I liked the first one but I like the second one better. Now I’m just waiting for too to show me the character designs he has made… I hope he manages to scan them quickly as I’m rather anxious to see them…

After sorting out the bureaucracy, finally I was able to enroll for the 6th Course in Bioinformatics for Molecular Biologists that will take place in Bertinoro di Romagna in three weeks. I’m glad I was able to, the course program looks really interesting and perhaps I’ll be finally able to learn bioinformatics in the right way, since so far I’m entirely self-taught, and sadly, it shows.

Yesterday something happened: while I was working in the office I heard a loud THUD. Then nothing happened. I kept on doing my work till the site manager arrived, asking us to go out of the room. The reason is that the steel cables that were keeping the ceiling up had loosened, and the whole ceiling bent downwards, which was very dangerous. We temporarily moved in an unfinished laboratory, and we’re still there until repairs are done (it will take a few days, I’m being told). Well, the CISI is supposed to be brand new, but then such things happen… I guess as usual in the public sector, something didn’t go as planned…
