Bioinformatics and Sydney Visit

tcpipThree of the past four days have been almost entirely taken up by courses; two days of which I was delivering (Linux and HPC for Bioinformatics) and one of which I was receiving, the last of the University Management Development Programme (MDP) series. The Bioinformatics course went pretty well, based on the detailed and anonymous written feedback from participants. As is inevitable one person, who had no familiarity with the command-line, did struggle a bit and another mentioned that they found that the second day had too much information for them. This is, of course, why I keep all my material documented and accessible. As for the MDP course, it was actually my fourth attempt at attending this particular workshop, with previous attempts cancelled due to conferences or classes. Should also mention that I've officially finished the second last course for my MSc in Information Systems; glad to see the back of that one, I'd say that had the second-worst educator I've had the misfortune to experience.
All the said,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya and I have decided to take a week's holiday in Sydney. We're staying at the Great Southern Hotel which is comfortable, inexpensive, and has some nice deco features which we both like. Also, being the pair of incurable rocknerds that we are we're taking the opportunity to see two concerts at the Sydney Opera House (Australia's collection of giant cat ears) whilst we're here; The Cure and Underworld, and have just returned from the former. It was a thirty-year anniversary concert for the Disintergration album, and whilst that album is far from being my favourite with too much aural wallpaper (the maudlin angst of Pornography was always my preferred album), it was well-performed nonetheless, and even livestreamed! More will be written up on Rocknerd next week which will no doubt please reddragdiva, who has his own contribution on the Isocracy Network this week, on bitcoin and cryptocurrency madness, cribbed from his book Attack of 50 foot Blockchain.
