Hrm. There does not appear to be an introduction to the use of MediaLab from the perspective of a programmer. Very sad. It's very like a scripting language, and I can't tell if I can tell it "hey, use the files in this directory", or if I actually have to specify each one individually. And, as it's typically used by psychologists, I find the help... somewhat less helpful than I would like, mostly because I'm impatient. Ah, well. I shall read it through and hope it answers my questions!
Very much enjoying having a job again. I mean, I _love_ working in the garden. But there's not a whole lot to _do_, and in fact trying to do too much makes the plants unhappy (see: overwatered container plants in our backyard right now). And there's only so much I can learn when I have not the physical space or brain space for the variety of interesting plants out there.
So now I have something to do and learn (make the lab have a website, and get as ready for my Masters thesis as I can before class starts in the fall). Largely, this involves, respectively, having access to the editing software and finding the PDFs of published lab work that aren't already handy, and figuring out MediaLab so as to make the previous work done work with my own (the only real changes are that the photos have changed, but I'd really like to make it easier to update/use/maintain, too). Also, most probably, I can start work on my proposal (which also sort of means that I will have started work on the thesis itself, I suspect).
I'm going to be _so_ busy with classes come fall. Yeesh.
Ok, I have taken multiple hours to get back to this, so I'm going to say I'm done!
I have thoughts that aren't quite solidifying about the confusion people often have when learning about poly for the first time in relation to the terminology one uses for partner(s) of people. Feels related in my head to the idea of there being a single progression path for monogamous relationships, so the idea of having multiple relationships and them being different types and states and such perhaps being even more perplexing. And stuff. Nebulous!
