StarbeamrainbowlabsSeptember / October is always one of the busiest times for me now.
As Experimental Officer part of my job is making sure software is installed and working on some Linux machines on campus in advance of the new semester that starts soon.
This isn't as simple as it sounds, and results in hours of debugging to answer questions like why Matlab doesn't like its licence.
I don't use Matlab myself, but I can say that I hate Matlab.
