What am I doing here?

Rather than type in an explanation of exactly what IceCube is, I'll wimp out and point you elsewhere. This entry was written by Keith Beattie, another of my pDAQ co-workers. pDAQ is a set of software packages designed to read data from detectors buried deep in the ice, sift out some of the most obviously bogus bits, and then package the rest up and hand it off to another set of software which massages things further and finally sends the data north via satellite and also writes it to tape here at the pole.
