[ccp4bb] Why the name aimless

Entirely appropriate for data processing! and Aimless is clearly some sort of optimisation program :-) Phil On 2 May 2013, at 11:31, Andreas Förster docandr...@gmail.com wrote: Occasionally given to losing extremities. is that a good thing? Andreas On 02/05/2013 11:10, Phil Evans

Re: [ccp4bb] Why the name aimless

I thought it was just a logical pun progression from pointless to aimless. Perhaps the next program will be useless? DISCLAIMER: This is intended as a JOKE... I FULLY appreciate and use the wonderful programs generated by Phil. Just in case I unintentionally start yet another CCP4bb

Re: [ccp4bb] showing electron density on an ipad

Sorry - I went back to look at that. The ipad app for pymol does not have an option to load a map. You can only load structures. I like that you can load your own structures (from a dropbox folder), that's nice. It's very powerful, and I can do a lot with it, but I would like to show

Re: [ccp4bb] detectors on home sources

I can not really speak for a home-source setup, but here at the SLS MX group we run two Pilatus6M (one of which is the first Pilatus ever made) and one Pilatus2M. In nearly four years since we installed the first one we never had any hardware issue other than users damaging the case. So I'd say
