Editorial: 12 November 2003

Facelift for OLBIN

I've updated OLBIN to comply with JPL's mandated appearance for its public Web sites. You should see strong similarities between the current look of OLBIN and the websites for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and even the NASA Home Page. I've tried to keep everything at OLBIN as straightforward as possible, and to retain the features of the previous version.

I keep the content of OLBIN's pages separate from the templates (headers and footers) that give the pages their look. So all I needed to do was update the templates. When I update OLBIN I run a shell script (OLBIN is Unix-based) that wraps the headers and footers onto the pages and transfers them to public access. This makes sure that all pages have the same menus and appearance, and makes updating the pages less time consuming.

The new appearance includes part of the image from the cover of the 2003 Origins Roadmap, onto which I've superimposed the IAU logo. If you see anything you'd like changed, please contact me.

Recent News?

News has been slow of late. I've thought of doing an editorial on interferometry from the antarctic, with links etc... but I have to limit the amount of time I spend on OLBIN and have not been able to devote much time to it. However, I'll be travelling to the South Pole in January to assist the AST/RO program, so I'm sure to have something to say on my return!

Best regards,

Peter Lawson.
Pasadena, 12 November 2003.
