Open invitation to Sweden
My family has been in Sweden for five years and will be there until August when they move to the USA. I'll be there from 29th June to 18th June, and I'll be going to Expo straight from Sweden. We've got extra sleeping space so if anyone fancies a visit, let me know! As long as you're willing to help with some of the getting ready to move and put up with me being at work 9-5, you're very welcome!
Present status
All done with exams! Tomorrow I will get the france accounts out there and get to work on expo stuff.
I'm going to Robinson May Ball and New Hall garden party- anyone else?
I wish I could stay in cambridge and continue doing stuff with the club, but it looks like I can't. I have a 2.1 conditional place for a Mphil / PhD at Earth Sciences. The way my exams are going, I'm fairly certain of a 2.1 or better. However, it looks like I'm going to have to turn it down anyway, because as an international student I'm ineligible for the NERC funding that comes with the place and have failed to make GBP28,000 a year materialize.
Stuff I'm doing for expo 08
I will be around helping Expo preparation until 27th June, and then I graduate and head to Sweden for three weeks. So, I won't be around for the last minute pre-expo panic!
I'm research coordinator this year. See Expo_2008/Research_Planning for details.
I Been a-Caving
It occurred to me that we could use a better system for QM, logbook, and possibly description management, so I'm trying to start a Django (python web app framework) project, tentatively called IBC (I Been a-Caving). The idea is that at base camp, cavers are presented with an interactive form which asks them
- What QMs were encountered (drop down list)
- What new areas were surveyed, and where the paper and digital survey data has been stored
- Trip details- who, when, where, T/U
Eventually, this would interact with
- The expo website. Via the CSV tables for now.
- Survex / Aven / Cavern
- Tunnel
I'm writing a prototype which will be put up for testing and comments. If it works and people like it then it could be deployed on this year's expo.
The good old days

I highly recommend running for the CUCC committee if you're at all inclined-- they are a fun group and tend to actually get stuff done with reasonable efficiency, especially when I'm not directly involved. -Aaron 16:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
