Started packing the first box for moving our lab to the new lab building @ISTAustria... Only another 60ish to go 😅 Still plenty of time to get some results before we need to pack up the experiments @andreastoellner @swaitukaitis

Oops, I think it's broken already (or the particle was lost)... Should have brought my laptop to make changes

@LeonReteig @TomRhysMarshall I remember taking an introductory programming course where they had us do something similar. I don't think people were surprised because we'd first learnt about algorithms for random number generators and didn't yet have expectations that the generator would be randomly seeded

@TomRhysMarshall When I was teaching an undergrad Matlab course I did exactly this exercise live with the class. Though IIRC, students were not as surprised about this behaviour as I thought they would be:). I guess it's not that it doesn't make sense; it's just dangerous if you don't know...

Dust particles from the windowsill held in our paperclip Paul trap (testing out the 10kV amplifier while we wait for other components to arrive)

One month status update: I've turned my table into a jungle of cables, but we've achieved levitation (just not the optical kind... yet)

A nice empty optical table, a perfect place to build a new optical tweezers experiment to explore Tribocharging with the @swaitukaitis group! Excited to start unpacking all the new toys 😁

Taking a break today, so I thought I would learn how to convert speech to text (and text to Semaphores) in Python github.com/ilent2/speech_… Almost ready for my production of Wuthering Heights brought to you by the International Guide to Semaphore Code😛

@mighty_lasagna @DaveVescio Bandwidth alone might not be the best measure, depending on where in the network the bottleneck is. If most of the streaming services use edge competing or do things like Netflix ( google.com/amp/s/www.netw… ) gaming or VPNs might still be a bigger drain on the network

Less than a year until I should submit my PhD thesis, time to procrastinate... Had a go at putting together a CV website isaac.isuniversal.com and finally learnt how HTML flex layouts work so it should hopefully display nicely on mobile and larger screens
