Joris' pdf in 2010

If I were a quantum particle, where would you place your detector in order to optimise the likelihood of detection? Not in the blogosphere, that much is clear.

I've just done some calculations and here's the probability-density-function for me in 2010:

Note: the scale runs from red over yellow to white; I haven't been in Canada, but I've coloured it as a representative of "the Americas" and the biggest problem in constructing this figure was figuring out a scaling that wouldn't turn everything yellow (as a consequence of which Canada looks far closer to the German red than it should be). It's amazing how similar different shades of yellow look.

It's a bit disappointingly white, this graph, but maybe one day I'll make the pdf for my life so far (on a double log scale) and then you might see some more colour.

Also, because I love numbers, so I presume you might as well: I've spent at most 55% of my days in Bonn ("at most" because it's the default and therefore absorbs any trips I've forgotten). Second was Morgantown (WV, USA) with 16% and third, also not too surprising, Effelsberg with just short of 10%. Two weeks in Leiden corresponds to a bit less than 4% and finishing the top five is Valencia with about 2.5%. Word has it 2011 won't be too different, though the Effelsberg percentage should lower somewhat and good old 'straia should make a reappearance.
