How to know your compulsive?? When it is 15 after midnight and you've check for operating system updates three times.
My fried Minor has developed a nice morning ritual involving a pastry. I partook of the wonderful German pastries during my brief stay in Berlin, and so I feel that this is a wonderful ritual. Alas, my most recent ritual involves Panera Bread Company. During my recent vacation time, I have found this routine very comforting: wake-up, run, check email, eat a bowl of soup at the bread company. And today, I have expanded the ritual to included studying at the cafe... the atmosphere is most pleasant. Soothing classical music graces the air while relaxing earth-toned walls sooth my mood.
I stopped by 1318 lab today. I noticed that Istvan Jonyer stopped by a while back - hmmmmm, will have to look into that. Basically, I stopped by because I didn't feel like being at home, but needed Internet access. I installed a new Virtual PC today and loaded SuSE8.2 on it. I am going to install MPI software on it, creating a MPI cluster wholly contained on my laptop. *big grin* If the CD-ROM boot will cooperate with me, I will take great pleasure in blowing away Michael Ira Winger's Red Hat Box, and putting SuSE8.2 Professional on it... like it had before he messed it up by installing Red Hat. *evil laugh* bye bye Red Hat...hahaha...Read through the LAM MPI documentation today... configuring MPI clusters is way to hands on. While not difficult, I believe that it need not be this involved. MPI is screaming for Rendezvous. Think HOWL+MPI. One thing at a time, I have my hands full right now.
