Dublin: Clean Room

Greetings!
Do not fear, no harm we make to you.
From out of this world we come from to inspect and make collection of your planet's particles!

 I am soooo short and surrounded by such very very tall and nice people! I hope you can find me in the sea of tall ones there. "I'm here everyone! Look down, it's meeeeeh!!! Right here, near the blue door!!!". Haha


L-R: Marisol, Marketa, Lenka, Ugis, Me and Zarah all suited up and ready to enter the Clean Room.  

Today Marisol and I and a couple of others from Mirek's ยต-FAn group that we work with had a Clean Room appointment with Fernando. He showed us the process in fabricating the masters/masks used for microchips. We both know how to do that already, but it was a special treat because our clean room is definitely not like theirs where you have to put on a special space/cafeteria suit to maintain sterile conditions and sterile environment as much as possible. One should just practice these aseptic techniques at their home so that one can minimize that amount of cleaning *and* dusting!

One should also be good at balancing (yoga would definitely help, think tree pose) because the first thing you do is place a shoe cover on one foot and with that covered foot you are then allowed to cross into the clean zone area. So with the covered "clean" foot in the clean zone, one has to balance with that clean foot to lift up the "dirty" foot and cover that similarly and then finally bringing that clean foot to cross over. Now try and visualize what I just wrote if that makes any sense. 

Ready to go.

Amid all the aseptic craziness there is time for a "What Up/Word!"

  1. I was confused when I first started reading this post, but then I realized that it was your out-of-this world sense of humor. You're definitely a nerd!
