alt Hacker NewsI worked with a guy who worked on IceCube. He flew down to the South Pole, went all the way to the station, just to install debian for their data processing systems. I was... a bit jealous.

A guy I knew back in college (in the same computer club) work on the IceCube project in Lawrence Berkeley Lab. Hello, Art Jones!

On the other hand, Francis Halzen reportedly never went down to the South Pole to the facility at all, as probably the only person working on IceCube :D

"You know I could just do it remotely. Hmm wait... never mind, forget I said anything... when does my flight leave?"
I wintered for IceCube - most of the job is on-call Linux admin, cluster management and a bit of field work depending on the year.
