oh, and I don't do windows!
Inspired? It's an okay piece of work. I like the stuff near the end that ties protein evolution, backbone geometetry and the codon table together. That's actually what my idea was initially, just had to hide it a little behind protein engineering and then work near it and leap out on it.
Terrified? Explain.
Have I made the "graphic novel" joke yet?
The thesis, in many ways, is a lot like my holy grail.
Terrified? Well, that's the other side of the grail quest. The hardship. The sheer amount of work. How much left I have to go, and the possibility of utter failure.
And yes, it does make a very pretty graphic novel. :)
The pictures were annoying. I wrote the text and just put in descriptive placeholders that said "insert picture of blahdeblah here" but when I did the modelling to generate the piccies I'd see something new and interesting and write a whole bunch more text.
