The year gone by

Yep, a whole year and then some since my last post. In the year and a half since leaving Sweden I've move my entire household three times and have lived in 9 different places for stays ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months. I now consider myself to be fairly settled, having lived in my *permanent* home for 4 months already. I'm actually quite pleased with my new digs, an appartment outside of town (Zurich, that is). Still, I can't find anything and I seem to be lost in a jungle of bureaucracy as I sort out all the governmental fallout from my travels. This, too, will pass. Just picked up my new Swiss residence permit this morning.

Developing flexible CIGS solar cells has, of course, occupied the bulk of my time this last year. I'm happy to say that the project is as full of challenges as I had hoped! Plain old CIGS on glass is already old hat to me. It's so much more fun to try and get energy out of a thin sheet of plastic!

Normally I'd say that I'll write more about this later, but I think I'll just stick to good intentions about writing more at this point. I do hope, though, that I'll be back to blogging regularly again.
