A Rough Outline in its own words | Darren Goossens
https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/a-rough-outline-in-its-own-words
Words, Science, Pictures. August 15, 2015. A Rough Outline in its own words. Are The Bluetones a great band? I think so, but that might a a minority opinion. Did they put out some great music? Definitely. It helps if you have an ear for irony and the love of a jangly tune. I got hold of a copy of. You’d expect a mix of B-sides and singles to be pretty diverse, and it is, from spoken word to instrumental to electronic noise. Disc 1: The Singles. 8220;Are You Blue or Are You Blind? Smile again for me.

Getting to Grips With the Data | Darren Goossens
https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/getting-to-grips-with-the-data
Words, Science, Pictures. August 5, 2015. Getting to Grips With the Data. Can there be too much automation? Well, yes — but even in some apparently tedious tasks that we really don’t want to do by hand, automation can hide important details. Some colleagues of mine are engaged in education research in Physics, and as part of that (and also as part of being good educators in general) they get their students to tackle the Force Concept Inventory. Which gives an idea of their grasp of basic mechanics. In re...

Words, Science, Pictures. September 16, 2013. Some Science: Crystal and Magnetic Structure of Strontium Titanate-doped Bismuth Ferrite. Is a very fashionable material to study these days, as it shows magnetic ordering. Ferroelectricity. Such materials are known a multiferroics. Anyway, a student approached me looking for an interesting project and wanting to undertake some neutron scattering, likely at the OPAL. Crystal and Magnetic Structure of (1 x)BiFeO. X = 02, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.8). University of New So...

LaTeX for Editors: My Attempt | Darren Goossens
https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/latex-for-editors-my-attempt
Words, Science, Pictures. July 20, 2015. LaTeX for Editors: My Attempt. Last year I joined the Canberra Society of Editors, CSE. Might be worthwhile. We sent the message, got a handful of responses, and, wellI wrote an article. It is here, the June 2015 issue. A lousy, low-res, random extract from the example document accompanying the article. I rather like Computer Concrete. As a font, though it does not look great here since the screen grab was, well, only a screen grab. View all posts by Darren ».

What Apple do brilliantly… | Darren Goossens
https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/what-apple-do-brilliantly
Words, Science, Pictures. February 19, 2015. What Apple do brilliantly…. 8230;is tell people what they want. We didn’t know we wanted a phone with a big touch screen until Apple made us one and showed us what it could do. Same for a bigger touch screen that lets us consume content readily and easily (iPad). A company that really can come up with products that are real-world ready (unlike, say, Newton. Of course… now I begin the rant. Hmm, I’m not so sure. So perhaps I was hitting it a bit too hard.).

Words, Science, Pictures. July 15, 2015. It’s Always Popcorn Time: The Lilac City Cinema. If this sounds like an advertisement, well maybe it is. A bloke’s allowed to like something once in a while…. Going to the movies can be really expensive. What is it now, $18 for a ticket? We are lucky enough to live outside a major centre but close to a minor one. Goulburn in New South Wales is home to the Lilac City Cinema ( http:/ www.lilaccitycinema.com.au/. I'm a scientist by training, based in Australia. Alec ...

Windows 10 on my Old Netbook | Darren Goossens
https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/windows-10-on-my-old-netbook
Words, Science, Pictures. August 12, 2015. Windows 10 on my Old Netbook. Now, I don’t expect miracles running new software on old hardware. I am a pretty patient user and I don’t expect miraculously fast boot-ups, I don’t expect LibreOffice to open quickly on. Hardware. So keep in mind that if I find something acceptable you might find it appallingly slow.
