May. 22nd, 2010 08:26 amMan, I hardly ever post any more.
Lot of grant proposal writing. No sooner did Cassini Data Analysis go in than I had to start working on Planetary Geology and Geophysics. And once that's in, it's time to start on Mars Fundamental Research. Perhaps I can support myself 100% time writing grants! It would be better if I didn't totally suck at writing grants. This is extra interesting because one of our two budget people is out with an injury for an extended period. The other goes on maternity leave in two weeks. Don't know who will be doing the budgets then.
I'm off to LA tomorrow morning. Giving the Planetary Science Seminar at JPL on Monday. Tuesday evening, I pop up to Santa Cruz for a meeting with some colleagues there, return home Thursday and hopefully beat this proposal into submission. Pun intended.
On the electronics front, I acquired a Macbook Pro last week, which I'm reasonably happy with. Imagine, the Unix-style interface is built into it. I don't need Cygwin! I can ssh without having to download PuTTy or anything!
For a phone I have ordered (but not yet received) an HTC Droid Incredible. I'm sure it will arrive half an hour after I leave for the airport.
