+Started going through the gnuplot book at night.  Going to try to do that in
+parallel with the class.
+
+## 2020-01-30
+
+Drove to RIT only to discover class was not being held in person, and we're
+supposed to work online instead.  **Welp.**
+
+Installed FastQC locally and got it running.  Really just downloaded the binary
+version and symlinked it into place.
+
+Downloading the actual data is taking a while.  While I wait, thinking about
+disk setups: now that I have a NAS and have moved my local backups to it, I can
+format my previously-for-backup internal drives and use them for actual data.
+I really need to spend the time to grok how Linux formats and mounts drives
+— I've been flailing and slapping things together and it has mostly worked until
+now, but I really should just learn it.  Ordered a copy of the new edition of
+the sysadmin book that I remember being really good from my Dumbwaiter days.
+Hopefully that will be a good reference.
