This RSS feed serves updates from my blog, where I talk about my work as a geotechnical engineer in the Federal Government, and about some of my hobbies, including: running, D&D, video games, and learning Japanese. https://iproteus.neocities.org/blog/ Sun, 13 Jul 2025 17:17:12 -0600 20000 Some weeks, my work duties are interesting – they make a good subject for a blog post. But many weeks, I spend my time making incremental progress on more mundane activities. This past week, was like that. Most of the week was taken up with calculations and report preparation for some of the projects that I’ve discussed in other posts. https://iproteus.neocities.org/blog/2025-07-13-daily-work.html Sun, 13 Jul 2025 17:17:12 -0600 Following the challenges highlighted in my earlier post, I mobilized to my project site to do geophysical surveys the second week of June. This is the first time in many years that our geotechnical team has done our own geophysical survey work. I think we were successful. Unfortunately, I won’t know one way or the other until we’ve processed and interpreted the data. https://iproteus.neocities.org/blog/2025-07-07-MASW.html Mon, 07 Jul 2025 20:31:23 -0600 We are about halfway through the year, so I think its a good time to take a look at what progress I've made towards my goal of running 2,000 miles this year. https://iproteus.neocities.org/blog/2025-07-06-Running.html Sun, 06 Jul 2025 11:46:35 -0600 Big news for the blog today! I’ve got an RSS feed set up. If you take a look at the menu bar at the top of the page, there is a new link. Just copy that link, plug it into your favorite RSS reader, and you’ll get notified automatically whenever I post an update. That’s it for now.
