too. much. cheese.
May. 15th, 2007 11:52 pmNormally I would consider this an oxymoron. I don't know what's wrong. Must be old age. Or sunspots. Or the imminent destruction of the world by a subatomic black hole. Anyway, I'm just back from the Cafe du Soleil, which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
geroge, jackfirecat, and others(?) may remember. Just one measly fondue did it for me.
Speaking of black holes, I was amused to see a note to the effect that simulated black hole caused our software to crash. I'm sure this sort of thing will grow old quickly, but I'm not used to thinking about (even the remote possibility of) creating black holes at work (SF is another matter, cf. John Varley).
I thought this was quite a fun clip about running BaBar on YouTube. I've managed to get out of doing shifts on BaBar, despite working on the experiment for 10 years now (that lack of shift-taking would be scandalous, if I weren't involved in so many other "collaboration service" tasks). Still, I'd like to do some shifts before we stop data-taking, so hope to take shifts later this year.
