Photos Fixed

[jae_builds]

I have fixed the photos in the previous entry. Apologies for the error.

(I have them in a shared album in Google Photos, but I forgot to add yesterday's to the album. So from any browser I was logged into my Google account, everything looked fine, because I had permission to view them, even if I was not logged in to Dreamwidth. But from any other browser, they weren't loading. That was fascinatingly difficult to diagnose. Also TIL when you add photos to an album in Google Photos, it does in fact change their underlying embeddable URL.)

By the way, that shared album contains more photos than just the ones I'm including in the posts, which I curate to be the most interesting ones. If you want more, you can check https://photos.app.goo.gl/8sP7F8acaDBfVkq46 and there will likely be new photos there after each build post.

Discussion prompt, because I've heard feedback from multiple people that y'all like reading them even if you don't reply. Which I don't fully understand, but ok. Have you ever had a problem that was difficult to diagnose but simple to fix once you'd figured it out? What was it?

That's my entire job and while the fix (if there is one) is often not easy, sometimes it's just a matter of re-prepping samples or reagents which can take a day but is far easier than the multi-week rebuild if we can't fix it! Boring answer but it's really exciting when this happens and it makes me look like I did my job well when it was actually just simpler then I thought.

Yeah, you say "boring answer" but you have one of the most interesting jobs in my social circle. If you want to go into more detail, I'm very confident I'll find it compelling.
