   As usual, the problem is not that I have to process 1.1 million "simulated universes," each with its own set of outcomes for an input set of parameters for a model beyond the Standard Model. I have 2000 cores available at a keystroke that make that an easy problem. The problem is that 10 of those points fail. And then I have to find them. And then I have to resubmit the…

   Anti-matter hydrogen (antihydrogen) has been made for a while now at CERN and a few other places. Researchers on the ASACUSA experiment have now made a beam of it using magnetic fields. Neat! http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2014/01/28/anti-beam-me-up-scotty/

   Just discovered addons in the mobile version of Firefox. Life will never be the same. I can tap-to-translate the people I follow on federated social networks when they post in their first language.

   I removed the Facebook native android app from my phone over the “SMS permissions” nonsense. Now I am rediscovering the Facebook website. Works great on my phone in Firefox. I don't see why I even need a native app.

    Delayed out of Geneva. Fast-tracked through Heathrow and made it to connection. Connection delayed because crew bus broke down on highway. I have weird luck.

    "A Change in the Legal Climate". Interesting - a new defense against climate deniers: when they use an ad hominem attack that is demonstrably false, sue for libel. It could help. http://mag.newsweek.com/2014/01/31/change-legal-climate.html

    Arrived at the gate for my flight to London. Everything is so far on time. The Geneva airport is super busy today. Lots of skiers.

    Good morning, Europe! It's my last morning at CERN. My flight to the UK is at 10:30 and I'll be back in Dallas by 6pm US Central time. I have a LONG transatlantic flight ahead of me today, but it will be so nice to be home.

    Whenever a politician or a religious figure in the U.S. goes on and on about "Biblical Family Values" (e.g. like the CEO of "Hobby Lobby"), I literally always think of precisely this part of the Bible: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BFxfnZ_CcAERJvP.jpg:large Now those are some sick-ass family values.

    Last full day at #CERN. I got up really early today (just couldn't sleep anymore), and I'm enjoying a nice coffee and a light breakfast in the CERN Restaurant 1. Today I need to finish tracking down data containers on the GRID that are mysteriously missing files (with no record of their loss); I have two meetings about a paper that I'm co-authoring on ATLAS data; I ne…
