I successfully dumped the Genenetwork relational database to a plain text and RDF database by following this.
I created a shepherd user in my system, similar to something genenetwork does. This allows me to run services in a foreign distro(Arch Linux).
Most of my time was spent work on my grant-proposal which aligns to GN.

Met up with my supervisor Shelby to discuss my grant proposal. He had some useful feedback and I incorporated those during my re-iterative edits.
I finished a course in Advanced Bio-informatics. I’m expecting to sit for an exam this week on Friday.

I made some progress in:
- “Team of Rivals.”
- BJ Fogg’s “Tiny Habits.”
- Harville Hendrix’ “Getting The Love You Want.”

Google are hiring here in Nairobi.
In my org workflow, I’ve been trying to make my tasks as atomic as possible.
Mwai Kibaki, Kenya’s third president, passed away.
I had a conversation with a dear one about mental health, and how it’s important to always take care of yourself. Importantly, you should do this from a place of self-love, not because you are “damaged” and need to be “fixed.”
A dear one and her partner had travelled from Rwanda, and they came to visit us. I got some really good Rwandan t-shirt!
A very brutal murder of Sheila Adhiambo Lumumba. This got to me and is painful to read :‘(
I’m getting into the habit of meditating. I use the “Waking Up” app as a guide.
A work-ation has been organised by dear ones. The idea: get away from the city, and find a quiet place to work and get some good reading done.
