They're all great. I like the progression from "super bright and happy" to moodier, and then stormy darkness.


Agreed

Also, sorry I haven't been on too much lately, I got transported into the past against my will and there isn't exactly a whole lot of WiFi or cell towers here...






Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.

Was out looking for moon but couldn't see it, instead I watched some storm clouds roll by so I took a few pictures.

I can know that my weather station logging software wasn't a terrible piece of programming when "ps" tells me:

steinar 11382 0.0 0.1 3644 848 ? S 2014 4:00 /usr/local/bin/owfslog -P /var/run/owfslog2.pid -a -t -Q -d -c /etc/owfslog2.conf -u 1000 -l /home/oww/met/b/log.b

That is, the process was started some time in 2014 and it still runs. smile

ENDEAVOUR - Sci-Fi Short Film

Hi there guys! My name is Brendan McCallion and I am a writer/director from the Republic of Ireland. I am currently crowdfunding for my latest project which is a science fiction short film on IndieGoGo, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to share or even contribute to our campaign which has just newly launched!

Endeavour tells the story of two astronauts who are the sole survivors of a crash landing that was originally sent to colonize an Earth-like planet. Against all odds they take it upon themselves to complete the mission, and bring a new form of life to this new world and start a new stage in the course of human evolution. It's like Adam and Eve... but set in space. biggrin We are very much looking forward to hearing back from anyone who would like to learn more about the project and what exciting things we are hoping to do. But if anyone would like to share or donate then please click the link below.


Endeavour -IndieGoGo Campaign

We have a range of different perks you can choose from, everything from spacesuits, personalised hoodies and even our space laboratory set (we're not joking tongue ). We hope you have a fun time reading through our pitch.

Thanks for allowing me to share this project on this forum, and I also hope you can help us in our own endeavour to make this film.





Sincerely,
Brendan McCallion - Director

The recent discussion in the science q&a reminded me of a project I did almost 9 years ago building an alpha decay detector for logging radon levels at home. It's still working, and if I plot the 3 month mean I get:

It looks like there are seasonal variations. There is a dip in the summer, which is no surprise since summer means more open windows and doors. There also is a peak in the autumns. I think the cause is more precipitation which somehow causes more release of radon from the ground.

I've written more about that project on this page. I was particularly to discover that my $250 detector performed as well as a commercial $5000 detector.

midtskogen, cool! so the radiation is actually the alpha+beta decay of atoms?
and radioactive elements mean they are not stable so they have faster decays, mean more radiation (energy)
is that correct?
