Self-explaining code

Some snippet of analysis code. Some cut actually.

300 Volts, 1000 Amps

This are the meters on the power supply of our big spectrometer magnet. It's a fridge magnet, you can put refrigerators on it easily.

End of Phil

Phil now also starts to blog, welcome to the blogosphere, Phil!

Malfunction

Supervising a broken experiment.

Finally: Darkness

The day after my first nightshift was terrible. My hotel room does not have real blinds and I could not sleep because of the light. Some black foil and sticky tape hopefully fixes that.

License Plate Interpretation

Numerologic interpretation of your license plate from interstar-astroservice, translation by the Babelfish

This characteristic symbolizes reputation, loyalty and organizational ability. With it a high realization ability is connected at the same time. Truth and sense search play thereby a large role. Furthermore with this characteristic a strong resolution loyalty is expressed. And are moral problems such as property and bad of a solution combine confidence into mental laws as well as the desire, contrasts to supply to want a further signal effect of this number sign. Sense of responsibility and the position of the conscience find here a particularly strong development. Virtue orientingness as well as always-lasting striving for an equilibrium with oppositenesses can be specified as further characteristics.

Looking forward.

I will have much fun on my shifts -- starting two days from now.

Error report.

Trying to file a error report with the producer of some online photo-print application, I'm told to send them a generated ascii-file via email.

It's always nice to have good public transport.

It's ALIVE...

Salvaged a working Pentium 166 MHz/64MB from the dumpster of where I work. It's in a nice 4U-19" rack. Most likely it will become my new home router/server doing PPPoE/DSL, DNS, DHCP :-). Memtest86 says RAM is ok, cooler was stuck and has been replaced. Netbsd, here you go :-). Intel P5 166MHz
