   On my drive back from Kingston, I caught up on a bunch of http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24243 podcasts. I particularly enjoyed (as always) the latest episide of “This Week in Google”. I very specifically enjoyed the new character @ leo tried out: Senator Devil. Always the Devil’s Advocate, Senator Devil was a painful but useful counterpoint … perhaps much to t…

   This day went (mostly) as planned, including the (final?) furniture delivery to our house. We finally have plenty of seating for guests in the living room, plus a sleeper sofa in one of the offices. The cats love the sleeper sofa. ‘Nuff said. Also, I finished the first major phase of a migration to Pandas Dataframes in a piece of monitoring software. Hooray for 50% fewe…

   Sigh. Spending an evening poring over a Mac desktop stuck in recovery mode after a failed update. I know I sound like a Linux user … but this never happens in Linux. Well, never is strong. Less often than Windows and Mac OS.

    I missed SNOLAB after a week at Queen's. I clearly can't have this both ways. I like both places too much. :-) Anyway, it was good to be back in the swing of things at the lab today.

    There is nothing quite so satisfying as the process of morphing dozens of lines of numpy.array indexing and masking code by condensing it into one, or a few, lines of Pandas Dataframe magic. Very readable. Same results. WAY easier to maintain. I hope my colleagues on this project are as convinced of this migration as I am. :-D

    Thoroughly enjoyed the @queensu Physics/Engr. Physics/Astronomy Colloquium yesterday by @NeutronJo, where she spoke about teaching models and shared lessons-learned. I really miss teaching, and her experiences make me look forward to doing it again.

Thank you @Fermilab for the delivery. With the fridge able to reach temperatures of <-270°C there are some 'ultra-cool' times ahead! http://status.hackerposse…

    What a great week at Queen's University. The department was kind enough to let me use a faculty office whose occupant was away. That person was clearly a condensed matter/solid state expert. I was surrounded by the subject in books and charts. I kept having flashbacks to my C in solid state physics in college. Nevertheless, lessons from that class stuck around longer than…

    Beautiful morning in Kingston! This is my last full day at Queen's University. The blue skies belies the winter storm landing here later today. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/f77b969f5883f07ea81a0643cf1d8e69a92bc5703803d9cf122e51a407e8c2ac/view

    The walks to and from my department at Queen’s have been lovely. Mornings are my favorite. I have been thrilled at the chance to sit in on classes and learn about the teaching styles and methods in use in physics classes. I am also grateful for the time to think about HALO data quality and PICO monitoring software. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48ba517a6280a4cd0c7942ae5858ca0e5fbb24119e4d14bff8844beb4b135224/view
