September 14, 200718 yr Just been having a sniff around on Google Earth and I found a annulus shaped building co-ords: 51
September 14, 200718 yr Hi Tim Whats your proffessional interest........spying ? Its GCHQ, the Governments communications centre. Martin
September 14, 200718 yr Author Thanks Martin, you put me out of my misery. I thought it might be GCHQ. No, my professional interest is: http://www.esrf.eu/ (45
September 14, 200718 yr Blimey charlie TFT , i clicked your link and after a couple of mins my wee head hurts and i understood & could work out nothing
September 14, 200718 yr High-energy Physics.......... FANTASTIC Tim I didn't realise you were a nerd try....www.cern.ch and www.fnal.gov these are fun sites as well
September 15, 200718 yr go ahve some fun looking thorugh http://www.secret-bases.co.uk/ lots of google earth / etc finds of things that don't exist
September 15, 200718 yr Not a physicist though. I design electronics for said institutes. ....and are you government employed....doing covert design work do you introduce yourself as Tim, Too Fast Tim and do you prefer your vodka martini stirred or shaken....... .......

I design electronics for said institutes. ....and are you government employed....doing covert design work do you introduce yourself as Tim, Too Fast Tim and do you prefer your vodka martini stirred or shaken....... ....... I could tell you but...... Presently working for a company that manufactures teslameters (guess what they measure). High energy physics institutes (for those that don't know) use magnets, big magnets and lots of them. Also working on instrumentation for ITER (http//www.iter.org). Will be visiting JET (http://www.jet.efda.org/) in 10 days time as well as some of those institutes listed above. Donald, for somebody who plays Tetris on a Cray this is a bit rich I'll bet that you have one of the few Crays in the UK, you and GCHQ!

I always thought Teslas were the girls OMD sang about......it explains your magnetic personality Tim Think we only use the Cray for space invaders now, it was deemed too slow for our needs and we now have one NEC SX-8 and 2 SX-6 Super chappies for Tetris, doom and occasionally forecast modeling, if the climate change mob don't get to it first..... Seriously they run on "Nodal" processors at huge speeds and processing power of 19.5 TeraFLOPS, pretty poor when beside Blue Gene but it seems to do the job...for now Edited September 15, 200718 yr by Slapshot 3
