Relaxing weekend in Edinburgh
After the joys (and slight excesses) of St Patrick's Day 2006, I'm in Edinburgh this weekend to relax.
Thursday was essentially a complete write-off but Friday was semi-productive in that Wake helped me out big-style by re-doing a .fits mask for the 2SLAQ LRGs. We're now in the process of getting some fancy jackknife code to run in order to get a co-variance matrix (something I now that we should have done 1.5 years ago). However, my lack of Perl and PDL is hampering me here.
Whatelse? Two good lunchtime talks. One by Rosales (currently Durham) on "The topology of reionization from semi-analytic models of galaxy formation" - looking at how different simulation techniques model the re-ionization history of the Universe. Second was Mountrichas (Durham, another of Shanks's students) on the discrepancies they've been finding between QSO and galaxy clustering between 2QZ and SDSS.
Gonna be another busy, busy week!
