Super-geeky Friday
Oh my I'm in geek heaven - I got a tour of some of IBM's more expensive toys this morning including a close up look at a BlueGene server, for those of you who think your dual processor home PC is pretty snazzy this puppy has 32 cores on each of its 32 mainboards, crammed into a box not much bigger than a people mover. They've got a couple of these things lying about but not enough to get to the maximum you can stick together to form one computer which is 64 of them, so that's 32*32*64 cores = 65536. Each one of these boxes does around 12 tera flops but before you run out to place your order there are two things to consider, each one of these requires a lot of power - domestic power supplies just aren't going to cut it, you're going to need a dedicated sub-station, the other is cooling - I'm not even going to describe the noise of the room we went into but apparently most of the noise was the air-con as well as the the huge fans in the cabinets.
I've stopped dribbling now.

Better late than never!
This week has so far been a little crazy! Not in the "I'm so busy at work I don't have time to eat lunch" kinda crazy, but the kind where everything you planned to do gets usurped by other peoples priorities and all of a sudden it's Thursday and you haven't posted on the blog all week!
After a rather spontaneous dinner out on Friday night, a very busy Saturday driving to Wagga Wagga for Jackie's wedding, and a rather mournful Sunday driving back, being sick and farewelling my darling Husband...the week started with a full day meeting at work (blurgh!) and a very empty house of Fillet! Futsal was fun with an 8-1 loss, but overall an enjoyable match (no significant injuries gained) and many a ring-in playing.
Tuesday another suprise all day meeting and a recharge of the girly batteries with a visit from Lady (and a very late night!), an absent dance partner on Wednesday night, and another bludgy day today rounds out my week. It's amazing how time flies!
Anyway I couldn't let it all fly past too quickly without giving you all a peek at how gorgeous Jackie was on her big day! It was about 40 degrees down in the country and as dry as tinder, but that didn't stop the boys all wearing full suits...
The wedding was lovely outside under the archway, Jackie sobbed through her vows and laughed and shone the rest of the evening (except the bridal waltz but more on that later) She was stunning!
And it was all so wonderful to see them finally hitched...
All her friends and family were fabulous...really lovely people!
When it came time for the bridal waltz, Jackie (like a good bride) was totally overcome with it all, while Ben smiled and laughed all the way through it.
Each time they walked past, they would comment on how surreal the whole thing was....I know, but how absolutely happy too! Yay for weddings!!
