Routinely Good
Greetings,
I am having quite a good day here, pretty relaxing. It feels like Houston in March, the weather here is amazing most of the time. Especially the windy nights and cool, sharp mornings. I’m pretty up to speed on my project, and there are tons of other things to work on besides the main project. It’s always nice to be able to decide when you are most productive and work on that schedule instead of someone having to schedule your mind for you. i.e. me posting this blog entry because I need a break from coding and wish to flex my writing is a great example of the way things work around here.
Today I am working with MATLAB, FDS, and other things:
You see, I take the document from FDS :
Then I take the document upstairs and process it:
Then I take the results to the engineers:
I WORK WITH PEOPLE. I’M A PEOPLE PERSON! (That there was a weirdly placed Office Space reference if you missed it)
That’s right, those plots are dynamically generated from the MATLAB code. Sweet.
It’s very fun to use everything that I have ever learned here. From programming logic (this MATLAB code comes from using MATLAB for 2 days), to computing platforms like Linux, Mac, and Windows, to technical writing skills, to LaTeX document editing, to SVN committing, to Differential Equations, to cable details, to technical communication, to philosophy, to image editing, to fire dynamics and chemistry… Well, you get the idea.
Everything helps tremendously. If I had looked at that list five years ago and wondered if a job or field existed which combined those things and more things that I love, I would have laughed.
See y’all later:
P.S. I got my first piece of mail from a friend! Thanks! That was an awesome photo.
