    If you were referring to me I wasn't a professor there. I just happened to be at the Penn State Capitol Campus for a three day speaking engagement.

      Big deal -- so they invited you to help with students suffering from insomnia simply by having you speak.

          I spent the night with the students while I was there. They had everything but insomnia.

                Well, another window ruptured. Last one just got a pin point whole it in, this one ruptured (probably blew in). We haven't taken much data for a day now because we dont' know what is wrong.

                  How long was the beam hitting the window before the rupture?

                  Have you tried increasing the raster or changing the pattern?

                  Can you verify that the raster is occuring?

                  Do you have a thermocouple or anyother way (high speed photography?) to moniter the nature of the failure? how about looking at the scraps of berylium?

                    Well, we started getting spikes Sunday evening. We stopped getting beam Monday evening (really very early Wednesday evening) after the trip problems grew too large, and it was shortly after having beam again (a few minutes) that we got the most current rupture. Yeah, we have tried changing, most recently (in the last hour) we see the raster not working properly (might relate), but they did not see this problem earlier (and varying it did not seem to have any effect on the spike yesterday).

                    I tihnk that we would like this not to be common enough to make a something to monitor the failure, happening once is pretty bad.

                        What do you mean? I'm assuming that I'd start from the bottom (assistant) and work my way up...

                        EDIT: associate beats assistant and a flush beats a straight

                          I mean...will you be ambitious? Will you be reasearch oriented? A mentor? A dick? One who spends a lot of time raising grants?

                            Honestly, I'll probably be a lazy ******* who comes up with interesting **** every once in a while. I'm not self-motivated enough to be a publishing machine, but I occasionally have my moments of schjmartness.

                              Everybody starts out research oriented. It's the only way to get a position at a school that isn't a joke. Who knows if I'll still be like that in 25 years? A lot of profs slow down real hard when they hit their 40s. Maybe I will too. I don't know.

                                Honestly, I'd love to have a couple of graduate students under me. Give somebody else a problem and only get called in when there's cleverness needed? That's my dream...
