  1. For years I've been writing "Washington State" (all capitalized) when necessary to distinguish from "the other Washington", and while I am a linguistic relativist, I defer to consensus when I see it. I am shook to learn that the Chicago Manual of Style's latest edition now joins the AP Stylebook in recommending "Washington state" (no capitalization) instead.

    "State" still applies when talking about the university (#WSU), or of course when using CamelCase for hashtags like #WashingtonState

  2. Hype for the Future 80B: Around Pullman, Washington

    Introduction Though not the county seat, the mid-sized City of Pullman is a notable community within the Palouse region and the largest community located within Whitman County, Washington, serving as the site of the main campus of Washington State University (WSU). Notable Amenities The flagship public university in the State of Washington is located within Pullman. However, further north along Route 195, the smaller community of Colfax has been historically known particularly for the […]

  5. #Datenklau kam später:

    #Studentin #hackt #Uni, um günstiger zu parken.

    Zuerst wollte sie nur beim Parken auf dem Unigelände sparen. Später griff sie massig Daten ab, drohte mit deren Verkauf und forderte ein Lösegeld.

    #Australische #Strafverfolger haben eine ehemalige #Studentin der Western Sydney University ( #WSU ) verhaftet. Die 27-Jährige soll die Systeme der Universität mehrfach gehackt haben.

  8. I’m pretty sure that if my dad was still with us he would be extremely confused and more than a little bothered that the #AppleCup is being played on his birthday and not in late November. Not only that, it’s now a meaningless game on the schedule. He was a #WSU #Cougar superfan his whole life. The demise of the #Pac12 and WSU completely losing out would have made him profoundly sad.

  9. My colleague Cristina García-Miró took some pictures about my talk on Monday. I spoke mostly about the engineering and programmatic updates from the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, and the teams behind it. Sean’s talk today (see link) focuses on the advantages of the WSU to astronomers.

  10. Hey there, time for an introduction! I’m new to CalcKey (and CalcKey.social in particular), but not that new to the Fediverse, so this will not be my main profile for some time, but I’ll try to see if it can become that.

    I’m half-astronomer, half-engineer, although the engineering part has been gaining more relevance with time.

    I have worked for several observatories, among them the European Southern Observatory, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and since June 2022 the Joint ALMA Observatory.

    The Joint ALMA Observatory just went through its 10th anniversary, and is ready now for its major overhaul: the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will change all the signal chain, including correlation and data processing, to get an huge multiple in speed gains for most projects, and at least a 4 times gain for most.

    My role is to supervise the Systems Engineering efforts for all relevant subprojects, to make sure that a successful observatory upgrade is delivered which provides a lot of value to our community.

    See you around!

    ps. As my profile indicates, most of my activity will, anyway, happen at
    @[email protected]. At least, for the time being!
