@juanlopezperez @macaronique @DrAndreDavid I'm not completely dead either. finally forced* myself to re-write lhcstatus in python * OK, so I lost my old shell script...

@macaronique @DrAndreDavid @lhcstatus I had no idea! Good to know. But this new account I see it's from 2017 right after I left CERN.

Ah, the sweet smell of #LHC stable beams colliding* in the morning. *At injection energy.

@bowskeyes yep, they're fairly normal during shutdowns. I suspect a work in progress at their end.

Typical. I notice there's a new comment about the schedule, start work on restoring scripts, and lo by the time I'm ready to test the image capture seems to screw up :-) Happy new year all.

Someone's not having a good week...

#LHC (05-Jan-2021 08:33:59) *** LONG SHUTDOWN 2 *** This week patrols — machine will switch to restricted access Friday DSO tests — no access !!

And yes, if there's no official text based status, I'll resurrect @lhcstatus as things start to come back after LS2

The cool down has begun! home.cern/news/news/acce… Sector 4-5 started on 5th October, and the LHC should reach nominal temperature in spring 2021

⛏ The underground structures of the High-Luminosity LHC #HiLumiLHC have been connected to the #LHC tunnel. Watch our short film presenting this milestone. youtu.be/eK_Mr8O1aE0

[yes, I know the feed's been off for a few days. I'm configuring the 'datacentre' (garden shed). AE]
