tcpipBig event on Saturday was the wedding and subsequent reception of Sophie and Allister at Yallingup Brook. A very pleasant location and perfect weather, it was a traditional style, and actually quite charming. Speeches were appropriate and gently amusing, the food was excellent, and everyone behaved themselves whilst in good spirits. The following day celebrations continued with a late lunch at Clancy's in Dunsborough. I was particularly impressed with the deep fried feta sticks and fried mice (i.e., jalapeno). Following day visiting the truly wonderful Ngilgi Cave (I challenge D&D players to try it out - with sword and shield!), and then on to the 1.841km Busselton Jetty, a journey of memorial plaques, poetry and prose.
Have since arrived in Perth, staying at the creaky 19th century Royal Hotel in a quirky corner room. Conducting two days of training for staff and researchers at the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Western Australia, the first day on high level systems administration of their cluster (including several software installs), followed by user training on Linux, HPC job submission, and MPI programming. A third day will consist of further work on the cluster itself. Caught up with Jason F., and had dinner at the pleasant Olivers as we conversed on computing, music, and metallurgy.
