I have... not been around much

In the "posting or commenting" sense, though I am reading; nonetheless: as I'm on the mass spec for the next two days, any questions/curiosities/discussions? No guarantees about how rapidly or thoroughly I'll reply...

What's a pet peeve?

And what's something that makes you absurdly happy?

What's your favorite icon, and what's the story behind it?

Hello,

One of the items on your todo list is catalogue the BPAL. That's also an item on my list; and in my case at least, it's an item tidily located in a drawer in the spare bedroom and therefore not having much chance of actually happening any time soon. I will be in London in early April and again in June; if we were to both get around to doing any sort of sorting out, would you be interested in a possible swap of things that have turned out not to suit?

I don't yet know my work schedule for those dates, and might not be able to get away at all, so this is totally a provisional question and will very likely be subject to some kind of change.

Ooh, what kind of GC/MS setup do you have? And how did you find out you had a leak? Did you fail a routine air/water check, or are you lucky enough to have a helium leak detector?

I hate compression fittings. hate hate hate.

My research into familial dead people leads me to let you know that my great-great grandfather was Curtis Fletcher Marbut, the ridiculous Soil Dude. (He has a Wikipedia page.)

Bert Kempster and Gilbert Chester are my great-great uncle Harry Hornsby Clifford Gibbons' pseudeonyms for writing pulp fiction. Sexton Blake was the person he wrote about. He was sort of the black sheep of the family. They didn't approve of his marriage. They were from Middlesex.
