Rubin Observatory (VRO)<\/a>, a massive telescope under construction in Chile formerly known as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and expected to begin operation in 2020. We had planned to develop an event broker that would collect events from the telescope and use tweets, phone calls and emails to inform people of important events based on their priority. While the event broker never made it beyond the planning stage, the plans for the system could be revisited once\u00a0VRO gets closer to full operations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/adsabs.harvard.edu\/abs\/2015AAS...22533637E\">AAS abstract describing the event broker plans<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Fisk University Raman Spectrometer Interface<\/h2>\n<p>In the summer of 2007 I created a software interface for a Raman spectrometer at Fisk University.
