Productivity is down.

So there I was, taking a glass out of the cupboard to get a drink, when the cup slipped, breaking into a thousand pieces just as my hand had grabbed it, essentially causing me to slam my hand into broken glass. After what I believe to be the loudest I've ever cursed, ever, I quickly wrapped it in a tshirt, and went to the hospital.

Silly me to get hurt at night. At that point, there was only one doctor the entire hospital, a bunch of parents waiting with their small children and a constant flux of ambulances. I waited in the ER for 9 hours to get 15 minutes worth of stitches. Typing is not nearly as fun as it used to be. I also missed two presentations for AstroFluids that i need to do next week. 

This was Wednesday, a day precceded by a day where I TA'd a lab. It went really well, no major issues (apart from perhaps a poorly phrased question), the only problem was that the other guy I TA with didn't show up for lab section, and so I had to do it alone.  Considering it was my second of the day, though, it didn't go too bad; I just did more running around than usual.

I've purchased a USB to Serial adapter so I can talk to my computer from the FPGA board, I'm currently coding up a peripheral so that I can test it up. In theory, if all goes well, I'll know right away whether or not my peripherals are working right, which means that the last issue to remedy will be the Ethernet. Things are looking good.
