Peter K. G. Williams. Thursday, July 21, 2016. OK, I thought this was going to stay short, but it didn’t. For the tl;dr. Scroll down to Rhetorical question #2. More and more astronomers are publishing the source code to the software that they write, which is awesome. Usually, though, we’re pretty sloppy about the legalities associated with publishing code. And who can blame us? That stuff is annoying and boring, right? I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, etc. This is why you should keep reading!

If anyone has any tips for increasing productivity please feel free to send them my way! Sunset beside the WHT dome.

Whats all this phd nonsense anyway? No, not that kind of doctor. Why tactical voting is a terrible idea. Time is ticking →. Plus points for astronomy. June 23, 2015. Sunset beside the WHT dome. Right now I’m in La Palma, at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. It’s night 4 of 7 at the WHT. Observing a bunch of other people’s science with ULTRACAM. I’m here with my co-supervisor Stuart. Who is humorous on good days and grumpy when everything breaks. Jupiter and Io through the eyepiece on pt5m.
