In data science going on the web is just as important as anything. Having a template for a website where data can be visualized and published would make a data scientist's life much easier. It could also add yet another problem to the already full palette of problems you face with new languages and frameworks ! It's your engineering choice to take it or leave it ! Read More ›
notes – Linux
CLI magic on images should definitely be noted. Thankfully Linux is full of nice tools that make that a reality. From the creation of thumbnails and the pdf extraction to image formats to more advanced processing, ImageMagick is definitely an integral tool. Here I am simply going to list commands that I happened to come across. Read More ›

Making PyQt GUIs for processing and visualization of data all the time ? Well, why not gather some of this effort to a single package and reuse its elements ? This is the idea behind apidpy, while also trying to encorporate some of the ideas and patterns I came across from other frameworks. Read More ›

Note-taking while setting up my system. It happens that stuff change, deprecated or simply I happen to stop using them. Such a note would be helpful documenting what and why I added or removed. Read More ›

It would be nice to deploy servers and publishers easier, only implementing the interface class. I don't want every time to write the code taking care of a connection and publishing data ! Could it be that I can do this just by writing a JSON file and my control module ? Such bored thoughs were the driving force behind the developement of this package. Read More ›

Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. In each of the 5 towns, colorful houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces, harbors are filled with fishing boats and trattorias turn out seafood specialties along with the Liguria region’s famous sauce, pesto. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the villages and offers sweeping sea vistas. And besides this wonderful wikipedia text, this is also where I spent the Easter of 2017. Read More ›

A non-invasive beam profile monitor for the LHC/HL-LHC. This is more than just a project ! This is almost a HEP experiment. But for beam diagnostics. So not really a HEP experiment. Still my PhD though and a really cool project. It involves superb mechanical engineering, state-of-the-art detectors, expensive electronics and a potent CPU farm. Also cables. A lot of cables.

Notes while setting up my system. In proper CentOS fashion this note is probably way too old and completely deprecated. You can of course still go through it and -God forbid- use it. Read More ›

Magnets need our protection... But how close can you get ? Are you cold enough ? Are you.. cryogenic ? Can you withstand 2MGy or more over 20 years of LHC operation ? This of course is not a the trailer for some James Cameron movie - seriously how could it be ? What it is though is a research project trying to understand the behavior and degradation of solid state detectors when radiated in cryogenic temperatures. Read More ›
