After an hour of trying to figure out why I don't get anything useful from processing the signal, I looked at the first line again:

f = open("noise-<params>.dat")

The output gets quite a bit saner once there is actually something to see in the input.

"[...] signals radiated by an antenna result from the distribution of
the exciting currents on the antenna"

Not to be confused with boring currents, which don't produce a signal?

Best student answer to "Implement the <whatever> algorithm ...":

"I implemented it -- go me!"

turns out pub quizzes are much harder if you didn't grow up in the country the quiz is in (or at least lived there for a long time)

still fun though

Can't make it for #WeAreNameless today, but Rocky Horror Picture Show is on in a local cinema next week, so that should be fun.

Enjoy the film everybody!

It's about time I stop complaining about this room, but:

socket placement: two under the desk, two _behind_ the bed (blocked), two in a random corner

I guess the thinking was "who needs more than two sockets for their desk"
