Most people visit the lab on Fridays, including former students and collaborators. I like how active everything feels on this day, which manages to create an atmosphere of productivity and reconnection.
I also enjoy to go around and catch-up on what everyone has been doing as of late, so I end up bouncing between tasks and ideas often.
The day, interesting to share or not, went something like this:
-pull/push changes to the multiuser workstation repository to avoid merge conflict agony
-say “good morning” to people
-do homework assignments before the meeting
-attend the lab meeting
-talk about graphics and engine programming with Aaron after the meeting
-finalize travel plans to the SIGCHI conference with Ken and Zhenyi with the incredible help of Samira
-discuss project ideas with Zhenyi and catch-up on project details
-witness Alex debugging a Raspberry Pi
-reinstall audio/midi libraries onto a different computer to prepare for some music production
-tell puns and hear puns that others share throughout the day
This was a pretty great day.
