Today was Tojo D. Voisey's memorial service at the Unitarian church. There was a great turnout, with several people attending who have never met the man, but just knew him through presentations on 3CR radio. There was some downright hilarious reminiscences, readings from his poetry, his music, and a number of references to his cat, Sabre - who is gradually settling into her new home. The spirit of the day was uplifting, even jovial, and I cannot help but think that Tojo would have been very pleased with the turn of events.
The night previous we caught up with Brendan E., and his parents who were visiting and had dinner at favourite local Indian restaurant. They're a pair of "grey nomads" an occasionally swing past Melbourne full of entertaining travelling tales. The night prior to that played a sesison of Megatraveller completing a chapter with arrival at Tech-World (the astounding online map provides extraordinary detail. For what it's worth, I've started a repository for generators (character, planetary systems, ships) for the game. Apropos looking forward to Eclipse Phase tomorrow.
The past few days at work I've been like a man possessed, working through the mountain of software applications for the transition of VLSCI's Snowy system to Spartan; I managed to install one hundred and twenty five applcations and versions from source (mostly) in three days. True, I have pre-existing build scripts, but even they required some modification. Meanwhile other work has been doing on conducting HPL testing for the GPGPU partition, and we're still on target for getting our once-experimental system around the mid-point of the Top500. Exciting times indeed.
