That’s the one.

I was feeling quite delicate that day and it made me cry.

Do you think Al Gore has a Spotify playlist called ‘Al Gore Rhythms’

Well I’m assuming at least one person did it. The person who had to redo my work.

Oh you’ve got to hope so.

How do you know someone else hadn’t written one that didn’t work and just didn’t make a big song and dance about it on a message board?

Because I worked for the only organisation that was responsible for detecting them, and the only organisation that had access to the images.

I cry at films all the time, especially on planes or hungover.

On my flight back from Japan it was like

“Chicken or beef?”
<in weird half sobbing voice, nose streaming> “Beef please”

So really you were the first person in the UK to write an algorithm for not detecting volcanic eruptions using weather satellite imagery?

Were you watching Chicken Run?

Really like volcanoes. Not going to say anything more on the matter for now, though.

No loads of people would have written one of those. Mine was definitely the first one for detecting them, the fact that it didn’t was a minor detail. (I forgot about wind by the way).

Why yes, because it’s one of their worst shorts.

Sorry not sorry

Same! That’s why I started this thread, but had absolutely nothing to say.

Indeed, and that’s why I was able to make a clean exit before it all (ahahaha) BLEW UP.

The UK Met Office was globally responsible for the monitoring of Iceland’s volcanoes though. Presumably still is.

Not like they could have stopped it though, right?

Interesting fact, you’d think that Iceland would have their own volcano department

About ash clouds and aviation innit. So the job goes to the organisation that’s supporting the regional air traffic control.
