The Wrath of Dawn

-------------------------------
First thing this morning - I've been virtually tagged, in hyper-cyber-space, that part of cyberspace that is inhabited by those of us with completely imaginary blogs.

And there it is, folks. Out of the depths of hyper-cyber-space, Ricardipus revealed. Well, kind of. A little bit. I really think he should have a blog of his own, don't you?

microarray data analysis
Me too. And I'm supposed to be a bioinformatics officer.
Dawn - no, I don't ;).
But thank you for the lovely words. And the bloggy-posty-thing.
trt - good god, I'm sorry to hear that. The Bx guys here hang out right outside my office and have long convoluted discussions that I just.don't.understand.at.all.
Mostly I just fake it though.
Who IS Ricardipus?
Where does he come from?
From where does his name originate?
De quelle planète vient-il?
*je n'en sais rien*
(Tiens. Nous avons les numeros trois et quinze en comun).
Why the hell am I speaking in French?
*twitch*
Who is Ricardipus? Fellow Canuck, commenter extraordinaire, moniker origins shrouded in the mists of time but known in various places on the blogosphere, formerly blogless... yes! Formerly! For now, I present to you the brand, spanking, new still-got-that-new-blog-smell Ricardiblog.
www.ricardipus.blogspot.com
And that link probably won't work because I am still crap at links.
Told you. One last try:
Ricardiblog
If that doesn't work, he's in the links section.
w00t!
More articulate? True TC, so good sometime he don't write And me. But others with the words good.
Mais, j'aime la langue française et c'est bienvenu sur mon blog.
But not Spanish or Russian. I gotta draw the line somewhere. Somewhere around languages I don't read yet.
Yes, it's true, and we at Chateau Ricardipus (see, tc, I know a French word too!) thank you all for the kind words.
Now, if you come for a visit, please remember:
1) Dawn is, apparently, crap at links. It's ricardipus.blogspot.com, so ignore the 'www' part and it'll all be lovely.
2) The answers to tc's questions aren't there, but might be in the future.
3) The blog is ugly, ugly, ugly since I don't know beans about html. Any help on getting rid of the green dividers will be greatly appreciated.
4) Content is sorely lacking at the moment...
Dawn - the blog may smell alright, but not only because it's new...
What I meant was, "the blog certainly smells, but not only because it's new."
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be posting there, instead of rampaging around other peoples' comments boxes. Sorry.
P.S. Ricardipus comes from the planet "Toronto," which is just enough larger than Pluto to retain it's planet status. Denizens of the planet Toronto dispute the usually well-accepted theory that our solar system revolves around the Sun and insist that indeed, the entire universe revolves around Toronto. Ssssh! We like to humour them.
A bioinformatics officer is supposed to understand Unix, statistics, molecular biology and getting the coffee machine to produce something drinkable. I can do one of these.
Heck! If one qualifies you, I'm a bioinformatics officer.
Would you like milk with that, sir?
I can do one of them too, but certainly not the making drinkable coffee bit. At least not with the office machine.
Cream, please, m'dear.
