*hug!* Yep, I need to maintain focus, despite all the pulling back to old haunts like the Magnolia. There'll be time enough for those. =:) I think today's focus needs to be on looking at the optimization target the CTO has a yen to apply the treatment to, gaining a better understanding of what opportunities there might be for CUDA there, and then, how to go about that.
Oooh! Now there's a thought. =:D I'll definitely want to try making time for that - and I did indeed bring the newly-repaired bunnylens along. ^_^ (Now, if only Nikon would come out with a 200-400mm using the same Fresnel magic as in the newer 300mm f/4, halving its weight and length.. though the actual new 200-400mm f/4 is pretty spiffy, pulling a Canon, with a switchable 1.4 TC - that'd be ideal for me, but the price tag is predictably eye-watering =:)
Gah, it's been a busy time. ^_^; Might there be any chance of some otters on the morrow? The weather's looking like it could be good. I'm presently down in Sunnyside, near Glen Park and Balboa Park stations.
Nope, no Telegram/Discord/etc, though I have been dabbling with Mastodon, which doesn't consume much time, and has a really pleasant, quite inspiring feel - it's somewhat Twitter-like, but rather than being one monolithic entity, it's a federation of smaller nodes, each with their own particular emphasis, be it furry, photographic, LGBT, or what have you, so jerks don't get a chance to proliferate, and there's an innate sense of "local culture", as it were. Pretty cool!
Notwithstanding, email's easily the best way to reach me (and by extension, here) - when I'm "at home", Mail's always displaying any new email count down in the Dock, and on the move, I'll usually check email a few times an hour.
It's actually pretty good, yes. ^_^ But then, I'm a bit odd - I actually quite like Heathrow, too. ^_^ Trouble there is it's just so huge, and set to grow further still - the government's currently in the consultation process for a third runway, given the place is very much at flight capacity, as you can see on FlightRadar24 and the like, with this constant stream of aircraft lining up, one after the other - it's incredible the system works so flawlessly! (And to think, only 100 years ago, humanity was still at the stage of biplanes being used by pilots dropping bombs by hand over the side, followed thirty or so years later by the first jet engines.. and only fifteen years or so on, the first jetliners. I wonder when we'll see SABRE on a commercial aircraft.. !)
Heh ... I think you're the first person I've met who quite likes Heathrow! :-p I could see where it would be a fun place for plane-spotters, but otherwise ...
It's hard to think of too many major airports these days that are cool architectural experiences, or are otherwise interesting in a human scale. (Seattle is probably my favorite in the US, just because of that cool central concourse.) Part of me really wishes I'd been a traveler in the early days of international air travel, when it was all glamorous and quirky. What I wouldn't give for a transpacific ride on a Pan Am flying boat!

Gimmie da hardware.
I always find that the sooner I start working with the target the better.
Best of luck!
