Excellent work!I'm part-way through writing a few. Very, very pissed off my old supervisor has been sitting on a paper that's finished for nearly a month now. I've even written the cover letter and he still hasn't submitted it.
Rrrrraaaagggghhhh!

on the other handi've just looked at the list of papers i've got to write that's pinned to my wall. right now it lists 13 of the things -- one pretty much done except the actual results part of things. one half-done with most of the results but no actual writing. one that's been going for almost 5 years and is full of good but insanely slow code i can't optimise. and so forth.
it looks ace until i think that i want to get them all out. soon.
also there's one i should have delivered results on two months ago and the coding turned into a right bitch and i have to spend next week hammering that desparately or i get some pissed off south africans coming after me.

Do you know the ALPS project?Monte Carlo simulations for magnetism. Except it only runs on f***ing linux and the b*****ds at the computing department won't install it on the cluster.
Any chance of writing a windows verion....?
*no, I guess...

ah, boinci was meant to write a code based on that a few years ago. it went ok and then my contract ran out. quite nice software, actually, in some ways.

actually no, never heard of itsorry :( also, i'd be very tempted to write it in linux, i'm afraid. windows doesn't like makefiles very much. nor does it have decent c or f90 compilers.

I actually still find it hardto learn that I'm viewed as a relative non-geek in science. How the hell did that happen....?
