This is my web blog which I will be using mostly to note things of interest to me. Its not necessarily meant for public consumption and will contain such exciting topics as

  • The installation of software of interest to astronomers on MacOS X machines (I’ve had experience getting AIPS, IRAF and Hectospec’s packages to run under MacOS).
  • Bugs in the MacOS operating system that need to be crushed in order to run some astronomical software on the Mac.
  • Notes on neat command line tricks I discover.
  • Musings on other topics such as teaching or academia.

Don’t expect to see anything too daring yet, I don’t have tenure.
