B is working on his thesis again. When I thought I would get a job in his department, I promised his chair that it would get finished this summer. Well, I didn't get the job and I wish I hadn't promised such a thing that is so out of my personal control.
He's keeping a blog as a way to keep track of progress/achievements/next steps, which I think is a really great idea. Researchers always think they'll remember everything they've been working on, but how quickly and easily we forget. Basically his blog will very easily be turned into a Materials and Methods chapter for the thesis.
In other news, my laptop wouldn't turn on this morning. B was able to take out the hard drive and connect it to our backup drive so as to back up all the files (whew!) but the laptop itself is dead. I have an appointment on Friday with the college laptop fix-it people, and I've already begun to agitate for a new laptop. Mine is 4 years old; I use it at least 16 hours a day; and it's my only computer.
