Scientific Visualization Presentation

As Marcus knows, this afternoon I gave a presentation on chemistry
visualization here at the University of Pittsburgh. I’ll post the
slides to my blog this weekend. Of course I gave a demo of Avogadro
and a commercial competitor. People were impressed, including the
instructor.

I don’t know if we’ll get some help from students doing projects on
Avo, but I made my best pitch. After all, we’ve got good code, a great
community, and proof that others can get real work done in short time.

Speaking of which… if any of the NZ crew is around, what is the
state of Shahzad’s Wii code?

Cheers,

Hey All!

I’m not sure if Shahzad is still on the list, if not you might want to email
him directly, but I’m not fully aware of the final state of his code. It
seemed pretty good come presentation time and I think he has some pretty
cool stuff going there. Hopefully he still has it (or was he using a
branch?).

On a secondary note, I’ve been keeping an eye on this list and it sounds
like you guys are doing some excellent work. I’ve been too busy of late to
even think about working on Avogadro (and the last thing I’ve felt like
doing in my spare time has been coding!) so I’m probably quite out of
touch. Hopefully the dust will settle and I’ll get back into it sometime
but don’t hold your breath!

So congrats on all the great work you guys have done!

Cheers,
James
