and for the vast majority of you out there who want to use a “continuous jackknife function” in your “cladistic analysis” here is a link to some software I wrote to do just that: https://www2.gwu.edu/~spiders/pestDocs.htm

and it is released under open source license, so maybe the code itself would make good decorations for neckties?! (a bit of a reach…)

that is SO cool! thx!

yeah, the ex gets credit for coming up with that, and pretty much all the logic in the application. It’s a good example of software engineers needing to understand the business logic for only the 10 seconds it takes to write the line of code to make it work!

Yup, I know what you mean! I now know more about plant phenology than most developers after working with http://budburst.org for 9+ years. Hated to turn over the keys last year, though – my org passed it along to a new owner. :unamused:

Oh, before I get dinged for going OT again:

Look, a bow tie! EEEK!!!

Well… If we’re IMDBing ourselves…

Yes, this is actually me. But I’m really not tooting my own horn. This was really very silly. And it’s the geekiest thing ever. I did write the theme song and create the entire title sequence to this “show.” It was something this guy Kyle asked me to do as he knew I was looking for a little project to do for fun. So I did it. If you like geeky stuff, do watch the YouTube channel. Not saying it’s a great show. Just stating that it exists. :slight_smile:

Probably best to back them with felt, leather or some other fabric to avoid snapping.
