Toot

Dropped to -18.3C at the house this morning after the light snow overnight. Grateful for the lack of wind. Working on old photos (and will be for a while). The nature sanctuary used to see a pair Trumpeter Swans every year, but when on of the pair died, the mate came less often. This is the last time I saw the bird. This is a case when you see the bird, you drop onto the trail and crawl through ice and mud to find openings for a shot. There were two of us taking photos, which eventually was too much for the bird. This was the last time I saw the bird.

Thinking about loading Mathematica and Wolfram Language on my Linux box. Always enjoyed playing those even though most of my technical MS and PhD students worked in MATLAB or some form of FEM application (ANSYS or Abacus). Maybe relearning those will keep my brain cell distracted.

Long, Long ago I had a version of Mathematica for 80386 Unix that with the right libraries I could get to run on early versions of Linux. I had not realized it is now available for Linux.

In the past, Octave would run some Matlab programs.

@johnmoyer

It has good ports for all OS's now. Mathematica and then Wolfram Language were always so much fun to play with. Production work was MATLAB or home grown in FORTRAN ... Mathematica, for me, was for fun.
