The GLAST Burst Monitor team here in Huntsville is on our toes, waiting to hear the final word on the upcoming GLAST launch. The May 16 launch date was pushed to no earlier than May 31, which was set to June 3, and official invitations were sent. June 3 got delayed to June 5, and now, no earlier than June 6. I had planned to leave on Monday to drive down to Florida, but now the tentative plan is to leave on Tuesday. We'll know by Monday if the launch will happen at all this June. Everyone's fingers are crossed.

Meanwhile, I've been learning C++ and FORTRAN 90. I don't find it very exciting, but it is useful. Hopefully I'll be able to code my own simple programs correctly soon.
