Jirou's Sleepy Naptime

Testing is underway for the starch battery! We pretty much genetically modified a potato to consist of nothing but starch and I think it's going to power what we want to it. I'll have to try the batches with different amped objects and then see how long each one takes, and the experimentation process for that is going to take a while, but we're moving forward!

The word bank for the cat translator is slow moving progress though :( Apparently, our test cats are pretty reticent, which sucks. But whatever, I'm resigned to me not being able to finish this by the end of the year...it doesn't look too bright for the translator future.

Another thing that isn't bright for my future is that nii-san wants to foist his kid off on me for their anniversary in a week's time...it cries a lot. And won't sit still. I can barely deal with it for ten minutes, let alone a whole night. I don't know what I'm going to do >>;

Haven't slept in a while, but Hiro-kun's not in critical condition anymore, so, I think it's safe to nap for a bit~

I found out lots in England, mainly about how this project might require some serious work on my behalf, but it's promising as far as the device goes! I should be able to go ahead with it :D

It was fun, Gakkun! Sorry it got cut short. We'll do it again, sometime, next time I have research to do in other countries.

[ooc: So...the project is not actually viable in real life, because the only differentiated bacteria that exists is in your brain and your gut flora...which aren't exactly going to be left behind at a crime scene. But this is RP, so I can pretend :D]

Wow, I'm so busy! My schedule's all packed! It's nice to be kinda busy, but I may have to sneak in occasional naps so I can be on my top game :) Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong. Kei-kun's party on the 21st and the 22nd, then dinner with Chou-kun on the 24th and Hara-kun's karaoke show on the same night. Then breakfast at Kei-kun's house with Hiro-kun and Ryou-kun on the 25th, then lunch at aniki's house on the 26th! Did I miss anything?

The animal-translator word bank finally finished~! I can make some proper progress there now :D But we've hit something of a roadblock, in that Lucky and Charmed's movements and tone of barking are scanned by the computer, but that we need to make a bit of negative space and leeway for the movements to be different. I guess it's like how we all talk a little differently? Different accents and tones apply for dogs too, because their movements will be slightly more pronounced or less pronounced and the tones may vary slightly. So I guess we just need to try the translator out on several dogs and see the kinds of variation we can get? I dunno.

But I've also had another idea for an invention. I was reading this article when I was travelling and it was about how everybody has unique bacteria to them, because everybody's body is a little different and that changes the niches of your microbiome. So the bacteria, which change and adapt according to their environment really fast, because their generation times are so much shorter than the animal kingdom. So i was thinking, most criminals now know to wear gloves and things to try and hide their finger prints and skin shedding. But you can't hide your bacteria. If there was a way to detect the bacteria and scan the bacteria for every person, it could be a new way to help find criminals.
