Today was a bit of an eye opener. The HIVE is barely operational while we are waiting for 2 Matrox TripleHead2Go boxes to come in. We had workies in 3 days ago installing small scaffolding and the Vertalis guys in putting a new constellation of trackers on the ceiling to increase the range of motion on the headtracker, gloves, wand etc.
Regardless, PhD students have to get up and on with things and there was another RDC induction at Dudhope castle that we were to attend. I had teaching until 11 this morning so I had to go in a bit late to listen to some of my fellow PhD students present their work to their peers.
Of course, 15 minutes in the place and I was informed that I needed to give out my password for the HIVE....hmm, I think not. There had been a last minute scramble to get the Chief of Police for Tayside and some STV cameras in for a photo op and, of course, they wanted the HIVE.
I am loving the extra responsibility of helping restore the HIVE and hopefully taking its capabilities to a new level but I seriously under-estimated the work involved and the drop-it-like-its-hot attitude I have had to take with other tasks in order to fulfil these tour commitments.
