Yes, the ruckus this past week is caused by Marine Lab's Lynette Loke's seawall project. Construction materials have ben stockpiled outside the Frog Lab and she told me another 180 tiles would arrive this evening. But she has found help - the handy kungfu hands of a botanist no less, have been recruited to do the deadly work! How we love to see honours students hard at work - it motivates the rest of us!

Poor Mr Bats, can’t keep up with my long hours of lesson preparation. This was another marathon for LSM1103 Biodiversity, a first year course in which we introduce some of the animal groups to the class. In this particular lecture, five phyla are discussed and Mr Bats slumped over the student's text book, Solomon et al. apparently in recognition of the futility of the task. In my time mollusca took two lectures.

I love watching white-vented mynas forage along the beach, just above
the tide line. This bird ventured forth after the first year's left
Changi beach at the end of their LSM1103 practical.

I have been using Graphic Converter for batch file renaming of my
pictures. Mook Sum recommended this free batch file renamer during our
meetup today. I am going to try this during the International Coastal
Cleanup Singapore next year when Site Captains come to Lab 7 with
photos from their various sites - they can now do the renaming
themselves before handing the files to me; what a relief!

CNET TechTracker can check your software and alert you about updates. Useful when you decide to conduct a maintenance session. You need a CNET userid, which I already had, to download and install the software. There is a Windows version.

Although we'd like to cover our shoreline completely and there are willing hands to do it, not all of Singapore's shoreline will be tackled during this year's International Coastal Cleanup Singapore. During the Site Buddy Briefing last Saturday, I pointed out that there are areas of the shoreline which are either wired-off industrial areas or under the army's jurisdiction, or reclaimed coastlines which are not yet safe for work. Also, Kallang Basin is now a reservoir.

I just checked System Preferences' "Language & Text" option after reading this blog post from Mailplane and discovered Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) has text substitutions!
