Bullseye!
That was where my conference was held today, on the General Atomics campus. I've been attending a conference on active control of plasmas in today's modern tokamaks, and otherwise getting in touch with a lot of people actively involved in the research community that I am particularly interested for my work on Pegasus. (It's pretty nifty to be in a spot that is so clearly distinguishable from space. Ok, pretty super spiffy.)
It being my first time in a higher-security DOE facility, let's just say it was impressive. Very impressive. The control room was laced with many, many operator/data visualization stations; several large-screen projectors with machine status information, etc.; cool blinking lights; and more.
It would appear that people from MIT are interested in the work that I've been doing to make interfacing C, LabView, and Igor programs with their data acquisition/storage/retrieval system, MDSplus.
I look forward to seeing what the final day of the conference brings -- as well as my return for a week-long stay in early June.
