The limits that pulsar timing places on the energy density of gravitational waves in the universe are on the brink of limiting models of galaxy formation and have already placed limits on the tension of cosmic strings. Pulsar timing has traditionally focused on stochastic sources, but most recently I have been investigating the idea of detecting individual gravitational wave bursts wherein there are some interesting advantages. I will demonstrate how the array can be used to reconstruct the waveform and obtain its direction, making it a shrewd gravitational wave detection instrument. With this new strategy comes interesting questions about how best to optimize the array given our current resources.
