Fishing to Super-Computing

With a bright sunshine, we (TBGO team) took off a good start to another day of curation work. Though a regular day, it was filled with knowledge, wisdom, fun and frolic. Chotu Lumbu's crazy heights (especially at night), the Moderator's unsuccessful attempts of peace-making, SS's constant curation, Sleeper Deeper's snore filled work, the Hunger (Bugger Bhaiya) happy-GO-lucky work, Dancing Sangeetha and Rajeshwari's moves, the Coffee Freak (Ubuntu, taking two coffee cups at a time) really freaked out. The Hanger, were some of the day's fun moments. The Moderator took on the job of moderating the AC temperature control as well! The Silent Keepers (Sangeetha and Rajeshwari) were amazingly stay-put @ the silent zone.

We did some very very serious work as well!!! Rajender introduced us to his Zebra fishes (Fishes know him better than anyone). We even asked them (fishes) to eat well and drink lots of water. We got trapped at the Orbitrap Mass Spec room for a loooooong session (Anyway we learnt a lot from Rhishi). The buzzing sound of the printer confused us with the MassSpec (& also broke Ubuntu's sleep). Solexa Man (Ashok) explained about Solexa (The famous genome sequence analyser) and we were confused who was solexa, the Man or the machine?!! We had a session with Pandey ji and his TB (terabytes) supercomputers.

We spoke to SKB via Skype. He enquired about our work and our stay here at NDelhi. He encouraged us to keep up this good work.

After the hard work, we went to our welcoming bed at night only to dream about our GOids and literature papers!!!!
