If you have a mini rack at your booth at #SC25, let me know. I'm on a scavenger hunt!

Quick reminder as you fly to/watch/participate in the extravaganza that is Supercomputing 25 St Louis, USA over the next few days.
This giant list of wicked dedicated humans made it all happen for you.
Enjoy the conf folks!

went to see the running man at the local imax last night. 10/10.
@micheleclamp.com and I had the whole furniture store cinema to ourselves.
(spoiler - 12 channel audio when he blows up the veteran’s hostel in Boston? Epic!)

Fun fact our first #hpc cluster for the human genome vented out into the underground carpark. In true 🇬🇧 style we put some cones out to block off a few spots so we didn’t melt folks cars.
A random interesting fact about the Cray XE6 racks: air exhausted up from the top of the rack!
The result was that the lights above Cielo all started failing over time due to being blasted with hot air. And no good way to access them due to the size of the cluster.
Clearly an early photo 😁

Silly thread for a Saturday: some of the #HPC clusters I’ve worked on over the years.
First up is Cielo, a Cray XE6 I worked on at LANL! Which might actually be the prettiest supercomputer I’ve worked on.

Don’t forget, you also win extra self prescribed points for any highly performative desperate breathless marketing dressed up in a “Please come to our weird ass social (10 miles away) for most excellent conversation!”
First to 10,000 pts wins.
I don’t make the rules.

Heads up #hpc folks. There are going to be folks at the show who are EVEN MORE famous than @hpcnotes.bsky.social!

I wonder if I keep building more Pi clusters, if Supercomputing conference #SC25 will continue returning to St. Louis...?
Hope to see you there, I'll be there as many days as I can!

Not going to lie, I’d never heard of at home freeze drying until now. Now I’m blowing up @micheleclamp.com’s phone with Bree links.
I think it might happen.

If anyone is new since the last time I did the skittles, I have been freeze drying them and they are FREAKING AMAZING??? bsky.app/profile/most...
Mama Bree is coming to visit from Minnesota on Friday, so of course I had to top up the freeze dried skittles inventory. #BreezeDryer

After just shy of 10 years, our old breadmachine seized up beyond repair.
A new shiny *much* smaller, quieter, lower powered offspring has now entered the arena!
Seems to only use an occasional 400W on bake mode for a 2 pounder…
Like all tech, incremental progress.

Drive out to Watertown today with @micheleclamp.com who’s been accepted into the New England Watercolor Society Juried Show.
Fun fact, it’s in a super fancy “life sciences” cluster at the old arsenal complex.
Our old life, meets new life...
Good luck Michele!
