tcpipDespite not being funded to attend, I've taken a couple of days leave so I can present my paper on Friday at the Challenges in High Performance Computing conference at ANU. My flights are booked for tomorrow, a hotel quite close to the university has been located, and all I have to do is to finish the talk on unums (universal numbers, which in many ways will be an update to a presentation I gave to Linux Users of Victoria a couple of years ago. A little annoyed at the university not funding this trip, but I'll make of that what I can. Also will be presenting at an ARDC tech-talk on Friday on the International HPC Certification Forum and various AU-NZ contributions - the third time in the past month or so that I've presented on this matter.
I have also been struck down with a short-term lurgy which has left me feeling terrible for the past two days. Even as late as last night I was groaning in pain and drinking what felt like gallons of water. Today I felt mostly recovered now. I rather suspect I've been pushing myself a little too hard in recent weeks and my old body is beginning to punish me for being unkind to it. Sickness didn't prevent me from running a game of Eclipse Phase on Sunday, although I did feel a little out-of-sorts. Apropos, my review of an old classic, Lace and Steel, has been published on rpg.net. Running off to Canberra also means that I'll be missing our regular Megatraveller session for two weeks in a row.
