Science, software, stuff.
We enjoyed it very much!

That was mine, the kids had a more "traditional" feel. Got quite a few sweets left over but it was pretty busy considering half term and the weather.

Absolutely.

One of the most useful features of hdf5 is it's ability to hold big/multidimensional data - this allows you to store complicated multi-modal scans (like combined transmission, xrf and xrd tomography) in a way that reflects the measurement better than a column.

Yeah, we have discussed this for many hours at Diamond. There is definitely a set of measurements for which an NXdata can map quite nicely to a pandas dataframe, but when you try to generalise over all the experiments done at a synchrotron it's not that large a set.

Ah yes, if it can read the data, but it is not in the correct structure that is a different problem. If you wanted to go direct from Nexus to Data frame you would probably need a specific Nexus base class/application definition (or custom import code).

It may have a "non-standard" compression on the data (i.e. blosc). You probably just need to install the hdf5plugin package.

Dear Reader, I spent the evening removing the papery, fragrant shells from the cacao seeds. Machines can do this, but these are my babies.

Your eyes don’t lie:, they have transformed into the purest, most incredible dark chocolate. This is where it comes from. This is it.

Next, milling.

Oh my... What did you do?!

Indoor gym sounds pretty nice about now. Apart from there being other people there.

... And we're off.

There was one on the diamond house back exit door release, and I think in the zone 12 stairway, but it sounds like you have a fair collection...
