So today I found out that the original Crazy Frog video has 5.6 billion views on youtube, and that the creator of the creature is ashamed of his creation (I fully understand). Isn't life magical? So... happy holidays, I guess...

I really felt that scenes where changing playing speed up and down all the time. It wasn't seamless at all.

I will probably continue to watch Avatar movies until the end of times, but James Cameron needs to calm down with the HFR. Worst part, by far, of the movie.

As of today (79 days into a 7 months campaign), this is how things are looking for these mysterious and impossible to figure out planets. #exoplanets 🔭

Today, youtube recommended me to watch this amazing video. I'm gonna be thinking about it for a very long time

Although I would say some people might have figured it out already, this is a work in progress and I have to keep at least a minimal appearance of confidentiality for the time being.

The activity is so low, and the rotation period so long, that it was taking quite some time to find a good activity indicator and measure the rotation period. I still don't fully have it. I have a good lower limit and a decent estimation. I need that H-alpha to close the loop #exoplanets 🔭

I brought a mechanical keyboard mostly to see if they were actually better and its making me excited of typing. They are really better.

It's really a pleasure to work with such a nice star. It's behaving better than a lot of people #exoplanets 🔭

Guys... you won't believe how excited I am... (PS. ESO, give me more data!) #exoplanets 🔭
Evolution of the mass measurement of my planets as the campaign advances, along with the pace of the data collection and a projection towards the end of the campaign.

I just tried today and the same exact pages were noticeable slower in SciX compared to ADS. always speaking about the web interface.

A. Suárez Mascareño @asuarezmascareno.com · 16d
That's interesting to read because my experience is the opposite, that it's slow lol The waiting times, and something about the fonts/contrast (I think it's harder on my eyes) threw me back to ADS.

I tried to switch, but found SciX to be much slower than regular ADS in doing the same things. Anything I wanted to do would take me more time than doing it on regular ADS just because of time I spent waiting for stuff to load.

Sad news of the day
drkeithsmith.bsky.social Keith Smith @drkeithsmith.bsky.social · 17d
Well this is worrying. NASA has maintained funding for ADS but not SciX (a broader database). In response, management is planning to *close* ADS in Feb 2026, forcing all users to switch to SciX. ☄️🔭

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I started playing The Witcher 3, for the first time, and i'm amazed at how spectacular it looks. If I didn't knew, I wouldn't say It is a 2015 game.

It appears I had more than 30k emails in my inbox. Some might consider that a tad excessive. But don't worry, only 3500 are unread.

Today I got a somewhat annoyed email from our IT department telling me I'm not allowed to keep saving all those 2020 attachments I have already forgotten about in my email server. Now I am forced to remove all those paper drafts and ESO observing logs from 4-5 years ago.

This is certainly happening in astronomy. Over my (not long) career I have seen a change in how data is treated. In particular public data. Nowadays there are a lot of rules of how to use it and who should be invited to use public data. 10-12 years ago I remember just inviting PIs if we liked them
