Stuff
Total neglect of the weblog as of late.
Let's see... Went to Mom's and then Dad's for Christmas. Saw brother. Went to San Francisco for New Years. Got the the news that Father was to have open heart surgery on the 2nd. Didn't sleep all new years eve so I could make the flight at 6:00 AM back to Des Moines. Got home at 5:00 PM or so. Slept for 3 hours, then drove 5 hours up to Minnesota for Dad's surgery. All went well and Dad's recovering.
Did Pioneer cluster implementation starting on 1/7. The users seem very happy with their new system. Was at NCSA again last week. This week I'm at Pioneer for two more days to do some polish/tuning and then I'm off to New Mexico for some cluster customization work for the rest of the week. Next week I'll probably be at the University of Georgia.
The Virtual private servers and security contexts project is very cool. I'm definitely going to experiment with this and possibly implement it on my home systems soon.
Beef...
was recently kind enough to send me VCDs of the Cowboy Bebop Movie plus the Miles Davis complete live at
the plugged nickel CDs he borowed like 2 years ago. Vielen Dank.
