Hello from Texas
Back to Introduce Yourself forum
My name is Christian. I am a seismic processing geophysicist working in the oil industry here in Texas.
Most of my days are working on developing machine learning tools to make seismic processing go faster and efficently. In
my free time I enjoy running long distances (longest was 100km) and programming in C (my first language), C++ and Python.
Before I came to the oil industry I was researching probabalistic weather forcasting in Boulder, Colorado. Oil industry (for
now) pays better. I used to be on here but I closed my old GitHub profile and lost about 70 problems associated with that
account!
Christian, Hi!
Thanks for sharing your story! Curiously, I think there were some other people from Texas too, and also from similar branch of industry - I'll check forums bit later for that :)
Now, about this:
I used to be on here but I closed my old GitHub profile and lost about 70 problems associated with that account!
Could you perhaps point at your old account (here and/or github) - let's see, whether anything could be done...
Ah, then I remember you well, right!
There is tricky moment as, supposedly, we have no way to 100%-correctly identify the user whose linked github account is removed, but since old and unusable CA account with just 57 solutions is not that valuable as bank account, I think it's not much harm to restore it to you, moreover since you really seem to be its owner :)
Now just, hm, to what credentials can we link it? For example if this github account is yours: CJSutton77 - I can attach it for you to login. Otherwise probably we may use login/password pair (but some way of passing password to you is necessary).
That would work since that is my github account! You're quite good finding that!
Christian, Hi!
I attached that github account to "allocthon" profile - so please try - perhaps it will work now!
Oh, both news are quite pleasant! Glad to see you in posession of your old account - and for your kind transfer - it immediately participated in next half-year hosting payment due on April's end - actually you reminded me!
Additionally I have just learnt that "Allocthon" seem to refer to geology (?) - though I got completely confused about correct spelling :)
yes! allocthons and autocthons are two types rock types refering to their location relative to their formation. Allocthons (e.g. allocthanous salt) was formed elsewhere and then ended up in another location, be it tectonics, salt movement. Autocthanous rocks are those they have stayed close to home. I moved a lot as a child so I thought it was an appropriate name.
