Created this handy snip for starting all the genenetwork services within tmux (rungn2 and runproxy start some genenetwork specific services):
```
  #!/bin/sh

  tmux new-session -s gn2 'herd start redis; runproxy' \; \
       split-window 'rungn2' \;
```
I reproduced some errors regarding “zeros” and modifying data. Fixed them here:
- 834821b
- 63716e1
- 34aa1f0
Finally created correct case-attribute queries(for genenetwork2) to fetch data for sample data.
Pjotr was around. A lot of answers around inserting case-attribute data in genenetwork2 were answered.
Attended some talk with Prof. S and Pjotr at ICIPE. I learnt many things related with Biology. I also met some cool people doing really cool research work.

New book: “Gift-ology” by John Ruhlin added to my queue.
Made some progress in: “How To Read A Book”.
New book recommendation: “Being You: A New Science of Consciousness”
Some book I should put high on my reading list: “The Book Of Why” by Judea Pearl.

Created my February Budget; all inside my Bullet Journal.
Started maintaining a spending log in my Bullet Journal; it’s a simple table with four columns: Date, Description, Source and Cost.
I had irregular sleep patterns last week. I’ll need to try to be consistent with waking up at 5 AM :).
Some head hunter reached out to me trying to recruit(not me) a tech-lead at a local start-up at Nairobi Garage: elewa. Gave them my 2¢.
My partner’s birthday. I felt out of place at the “friends-and-some-family” gathering. People were talking about clothes, fashion, run-ways, etc etc. Not my cup of tea.
I want to create my own routine on doing algorithms and exploring code. Note for interviews, but because it’s fun!
