I've been asked to become an animated paper clip for the Parkes visitor centre. Apparently when a visitor has a question for the computer then I'll pop up and give the (hopefully correct) answer.
Gosh.
We're also planning a movie for the Pulse@PKS project that will allow high school students to make observations with Parkes. The movie will show the students how we unstow the dish, start the observing, etc. etc. We're planning to get Sarah to take the main leading role, but hopefully I can hang around in the background and help move the jacks or press a button.
Lots more interesting stuff happening. David locked himself in the shower, all the fire alarms were set off, all the systems crashing, interesting results being obtained, kangaroos hopping in front of the car, huge trucks backing into the visitor centre, us demanding that the visitor centre switches off all its lights to see if they are causing interference ...
Ciao
