# I'm rubbish at Python
other than shell scripts it's the only scripting language I've used any of -- but in the end I just use Fortran and forget about it, like the rest of my field. That's why we're stuck in 1980 or so. I should probably make more of an effort though.

Or Perl. Or Ruby. Or any of these things. Javascript. That looks 'fun'.

# I have no idea.
I'm just mashing keys until it does what I want, which is seldom. The program itself works fine now, but the results are a bit off. More due to intractable errors between model and reality, but meh, had to give it a try. If it gets even half-way there, I've booked myself a ticket to a conference in China.

# Book yourself a ticket anyway
If they won't let you into the hall become one of the crackpots hanging around just outside handing out leaflets loudly proclaiming the genius of your model in badly-spelled English and violently clashing colours.

# Funding...
The conference also clashes with the in-laws coming over and I like them.

# Tell them to buy tickets to China instead
= family holiday! + assorted crackpottery
