tcpipIt is easy to forget that it's been a few days since I've posted anything, especially given that the first three of those days were delivering high performance computing training workshops. Whilst I am sure newcomers get a lot out of the first two, the third (Regular Expressions) was perhaps the most interesting to me, especially as I've reviewed the course to include a great deal more about incorporating regexes into HPC job submission scripts and even after the course adding content about how to further incorporate GNU parallel. I rather get the feeling that there is potentially too much content from such a tool and, with the potential addition of parallel processing using Python as an introduction (compared to C and Fortran), I might have to split my existing workshop into two. Another project for 2022, I guess.
Most of Victoria's restrictions were eased on Thursday, for the fully vaccinated, having reached close to 90%+ double-dose vaccination for those aged 12 or older. On the first night out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya and I went to a concert; Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' at The Athenaeum Theatre, a rather charming "old Melbourne" venue. We originally booked to see Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" but, 'rona being what it was, caused three cancellations of that performance. Played in shopping centres everywhere, "Le quattro stagioni" was quite an innovative group of concertos for its time for its naturalistic representations, and this concert certainly represented that style faithfully, also interspersing with the somewhat less well-known sonnets, before concluding with part II of the Sønderho Bridal trilogy.
Today ventured into the city with a meeting of the Victorian Secular Lobby, especially discussing the third attempt of the Federal government to introduce it's "religious discrimination" bill. A number of people also attended online but I rather failed to account for the effects of ambient noise in an open environment. The city was also had a number of protestors of the anti-vaccination, anti-employment mandates, anti-pandemic legislation which, as has been observed, are very much based on "outrage first, detail second" (if ever) and are very prone to the most foolish conspiracies (I've seriously seen "zombie apocalypse" claims) but more disturbingly, the advocacy of violence. In both cases, I suspect that the relevant legislation will be passed by the end of the year, with amendments.
