4th of July Literature Reading
Sigh, I'm trying to get through some literature for references to use in a scientific paper, but it's getting slow and distracting. After all, it's by now a pretty old project, and I've moved on to other things, so trying to get back to relevant literature is always a challenge!
And note to scientist/future scientists/grad students: be sure to keep a decent lab notebook that actually logs what you did. Trust me, in even a week, you possibly can't remember what the data in xx.dat even means. And if you program: COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT. It's never a bad thing to actually comment too much - you might not even recognise your code in a day, much less a year!
