Earlier this week attended part of eResearchAustralAsia presented on "Streamlined Workflow from Instrument to HPC". It was mostly about cryo-electron microscopy, and specifically dealing with the enormous data transfers required and the fine-tuning of software to for the complex steps required to build a three-dimension protein model. SBGrid is a very good option ofr the latter, MediaFlux for the former, although there are some integration challenges with HPC. I have also taken the opportunity to delve a little into MyTardis, which is also used for managing instrument data. On a similar front from that, I've been adding content for my Spartan to Gadi course via a course at NCI and copying the content to Canvas.
In these modern days of technologically-mediated communication, I've publically entered into a relationship with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lei_loo (which means that I've mentioned it here and on FB). We've certainly had a bit of history reaching this point as part of an ongoing coronavirus-era romance, and there have been somewhat inspiring grand plans of a future. Of course, now it's down to implementing such things in reality, and given the fact that lei_loo is a few years younger, it must be admitted that there's a bit of a vicarious interest in their success as they engage in their professional life.
A good portion of the evening hours over the past few days has been spent on carrying out the writing for RPG Review, as mention in my last entry; three reviews are done so far (The Free City of Haven, Thieves' World, Night City) a total of close to 4500 words, and about the same number to go until completion. We had a committee meeting last Sunday for the Cooperative and decided that the next issue following this will be an ICE games edition (Rolemaster, Spacemaster, Middle-Earth Role Playing, HARP, etc) with a special emphasis on ShadowWorld in honour and memory of Terry K. Amthor. Appropriately, in actual play played in a session of CyberDarkSpace this week where we questioned an alien visitor to Earth on their status as an illegal immigrant; much unexpected hilarity followed.
