Just got back from #Fantasycon! Had a great time there! Also came back with some good books! I'll have to figure out which one to read first

Last night, I saw a moon rainbow! Naturally, my phone camera captured it horribly
The sky at night. The full Moon is on the left. Surrounding it in a faint halo is a barely visible rainbow, which is brightest to the right of the Moon. Where the rainbow is brightness, it makes a smear of light

In a quest to figure out why my external dvd drive stopped working after a few months, I stumbled across this review:
A one star amazon review titled "CD drive or Satan reincarnated?" There is not enough space to put the whole review into the alt text, so I'm providing a link to it instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/RNWVZZFY65S24/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07JGWBLVH

I've finished my first writing goal of the month! The peaks in the graph correspond to the temporal phemonena known as "the weekend" and "cancelled plans."

Next goal will be to write 5000 words by the end of the month.
A graph comparing the number of chapters edited (orange) to the writing goal (blue) over time. The orange line follows the blue in a wiggly way until the day 9, where the orange line shoots up. The final goal of 24 chapters edited is completed by day 10, five days early.

Going to have the oppurtunity to actually set myself writing goals this November which means it's time to break out the spreadsheets! Goal #1 is to finish editing draft 6 of my current wip by November 15th.
A line graph comparing the number of chapters edited to the goal of getting 24 chapters edited by November 15th. The blue line shows the goal while the orange line shows how many chapters are completed. The orange line goes to 4 chapters on day 2 which is above the day 2 goal of 3.2 chapters.

Last night the Moon was so pretty but my phone camera is so bad
A bad photo of the Moon peaking out from some clouds. It is full.

Was doing some xrd data processing and stumbled across a phase called "Steve6" that someone added to the database. I have to wonder what Steve1-5 are.
A list of different phases that are candidates for a diffraction pattern. One is called Steve6. It has the formula (NMe4)2[Fe4S4[SCH2CH(OH)Me)4].
