whoops! well spotted!

i’ve not really done much yet, nor been paid yet haha.
i have a project though, i’ll be developing/debugging/testing the event display, ATLANTIS (see the acronym above ), which is coded in java. so i have to learn java. it’s pretty much the same as C# though.

i’ll be heading to CERN in november at some point i think, to register and such.
this year is more about lectures, helping out teaching and getting used to everything though. i have an office at least!
did you get a job yet?!

“PASTA – Processors, memory, Architectures, STorage and TApes.” – my comment doesn’t have the benefit of bold, but you should move your bold from the T to the A i suspect. PhD going well?

I think that actually fits with the estimated date of the triple conjunction theory. If I remember right, it was a few years before or after 0AD. One source is telling me 7BC, but I remember it being closer when I did the work in Astronomy lab before..
I can’t help but picture toddler Jesus still with a beard and long hair!

They didn’t see the star and leg it down the road on the same night though… it’s more likely they turned up when Jesus was a toddler.

Alas, it is not really evil. But I won’t ruin the plot…

I have not seen that film, but I think I will check it out! Is the AI just as evil but with a smiley face? That may be infinitely creepier!

“Whoever decided to build an extremely powerful artificial intelligence and give it a BRIGHT RED EYE anyway?!” – Have you seen the film Moon? (I would recommend it). The HAL-esque AI essentially has an emoticon face. Haha.
