Oh, I love upgrades too. After 10 years with an old laptop, whose horrible video card could be challenged even by something as old and simple as GLQuake (!), I definitely feel I've earned a major break from low framerates and low settings. The only thing holding me back from upgrading moreo ften is my laziness and reluctance to go through the whole process. I had to be backed against the wall by a messed-up hard drive to finally get around to doing it. And I do want to check out that new and glorious Doom Eternal that is (maybe) coming out this year. I could get the 2016 Doom running mostly fine with my current setup, but the new one will definitely require an upgrade. No way around it.

I'll be doing database work too - we have a data export coming soon, probably in February. But the real major thing is an upcoming accreditation visit. There will be lots of stuff to translate before that, so I'll definitely get involved. On the plus side, I've been working at the university long enough to finally be promoted to "senior expert" (was junior up until now). I guess I'll have to grow a white beard now, to emphasize my seniority, heh.
