... And the Shoe Drops

Well, I had a bit of a revelation today at work. I've been given the not-so-fun task of renovating and updating my research group's website. Since the URL for the site had changed, I found ways to redirect traffic from the old site(s) that were pointing to the old location. However, there were several human-edited databases that also needed updating, ranging from the Open Directory to the Internet Directory of Nuclear Resources, run by none other than the IAEA.

These are the nuclear watchdogs that you keep reading about on CNN. (They do lots of other nuclear physics things, too; but the non-proliferation activities are what most people hear about.)

Now that's cool. I don't think I've ever had a direct link to one of my websites from a UN agency! Now then, perhaps I should be hacking together a bit of a better-looking website! (I like the Fusion Portal that my advisor provided some of the text for and I whipped together a bit earlier...) With my attention increasingly focusing on a plasma control system for PEGASUS, a spiffy new website will probably languish. At least I gave it a facelift after 2+ years!
