CRAQ Presentation yesterday, then a bar.

I really need to get this sleep schedule thing down. My presentation (Optical Transients via Cherenkov Telescopes) went over pretty well. I wasn't totally unclear, which is nice. Afterwards, we went to a brewpub (Amene a Boire). The food was so-so, but the beer was pretty good. Had a white that had some banana flavoring (which is ambitious for me). I'd go again, but only post-meal. Also, the fourth floor only has 4 kinds of beer for sale, as opposed to several others sold on lower levels.

I'm back there this morning. There'll be a few presentations on interstellar medium, if memory serves. 

Conferences aside, I've still got a timestamp discrepancy between the QDC and TDC data, which means that I can only use the TDC or QDC data sets independently, which is really starting to become troublesome. I think that one of the two DAQ cards is a little bit slower (a few tens of nanoseconds) so if two muons come in in a short time period, one of the cards is only seeing one of them because it's still busy getting data from the first one.
