Well, well. I have been very busy with littleICE, so "long time no news". But the others have been rocking ! The big coils are in, I have milled the new imaging system that really did want to come in last monday... The experiment is going to look really nice. And finally the reality is starting to look like the 3D drawings.

On a side note, as I had my camera at the lab today, I took some pictures of the new institut at dusk, when leaving the lab. I am not sure it comes out really well in the pictures, but the is a nice light when the sun is down, the sky is pink, and the different light bulbs of the institut reflect throught the large glass walls.

Rob took a few pictures of the new lab. The guys are making a great job of getting the laying of the lab just right. I am not really helping as I am too busy with little-ICE.
