a brilliantly beautiful day and I'm stuck in an academic lab at Harvard... rescue me!
resolves to close the computer as often as possible... not quite starting tonight, though
will have great people over today (Manda, Anjali, Veronica...) for a full house of Drupal learning!
in Cambridge importing OBO-formatted gene ontology data into Drupal taxonomies (yes, still)
focusing on client http://changents.com ("Change Agents", get it?) cool people; ostensibly Drupal, legacy code a bit scary
now at a Stop the Wars Coalition meeting -- see Chomsky Nov. 19! -- and waiting to conference in to a Seacoast Outright meeting!
at Harvard meeting with scientific folk from Manchester, United Kingdom regarding SWAN and SCF (where Drupal and I come in)
fire alarm at Harvard!
