Today started badly. I came in knowing I had to fix the RP machine and try and get my rig working. What I'd forgotten is we had a film crew in the lab filming stuff for a podcast, and I was meant to have stuck a build on over the weekend for them to film emerging from the machine. Bugger.

So I take one of our old builds, cover it in the resin and stick it using double-sided sticky-tape to the build platform of the machine. Job's a good-un.

Then I spent about an hour wondering why my test rig wasn't working, only to find out it was because my monitor was pressing against the on/off switch for the power supply...

At least everything appears to be working now. In typical machine-like style, the machine has *touch wood* decided to cooperate. The rig also behaved impeccably. Hopefully by the end of today I'll have the final component of the rig from the technician, and we may finally have a working device. Then it's time to move up to biology and test it...

And for you today, I have a video of Robin Williams doing standup...
