Eyes and Basketballs

So the lab recently bought a new eye-tracker (should that be one word???) system and I spent most of today attempting to set it up. I've decided that I'm not inept but rather new technology doesn't like me. Step by step through the manual I plodded and in my defence I did get the video to work but the thing couldn't track a basketball let alone an eye. I couldn't even get the darn display to come up on the screen to allow me to try and track something. Back at it from scratch again tomorrow for the third time.

Today wasn't a total loss for the first time in a while since I got to look at my new data and lo and behold the welcome sight of significant results where there should be and >.05 where there shouldn't be. Now to write it up and have it ripped to shreads by reviewers. Does the fun ever end?

The only other thing of consequence today was a ball game with a friend's team, Funnilingus. We put up a valiant effort but with my idiotic ground out to lead off the bottom of the 9th and an inning ending popfly we left runners at the corners and ended up losing by a run. Painful but it was nice to be doing something that didn't require electricity!

Anyway good night and who wants to work with eye-trackers anyway.
