I've been able to complete most of the analysis for my Ph.D. thesis work, at last. I need a few runs more but I am arranging to work at a location of one of our research partners, as I don't have a powerful enough computer to handle the calculations (apparently, 1Gb of RAM isn't enough). At least the results I have look promising. Now all it's left (and that's not an easy task, heh). is to write them down in the "thesis summary" (deadline: June 30th) and then in the thesis itself. I'm already studying a bit on the topic and papers are quickly piling up on my desk.

Also, in order to be more productive I started using a [wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki) for laboratory notes (though I also keep my lab book next to the computer). Currently I'm using [DokuWiki](http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki) and it's been good so far: I have a "diary" with daily notes and separate sections with analyses and my own comments. With a few plugins I've also been able to insert the CSV files I use directly.

This is for more organized data. I'm keeping [BasKet Note Pads](http://basket.kde.org) for quick code snippets and random notes I have to take. I have to thank Mike of [Bioinformatics Zen](http://www.bioinformaticszen.com) fame for the suggestion he posted on [using a hyperlinked documents as bioinformatics laboratory books](http://www.bioinformaticszen.com/2007/04/use-a-hyperlinked-document-as-a-bioinformatics-lab-book/).
