Another Tuesday, another conference call
Another Tuesday, another conference call full of MCR-delay reports. Next week, we might get our hands on a hundred nodes or so for testing, if all goes according to the latest plan. In the meantime, I’ve been poking around the proposed configuration for the various compute nodes, to make sure that our software will build and deploy and run there. So far, so good.
I also had a very pleasant coding day, and managed to build out the infrastructure for timing and expiring locks when the server is waiting for a client to cancel them. 93 lines of code, and I think I’m ready to test tomorrow. Wonderful feeling when it all actually works out.
In other wonderful-feeling news, Peter took care of the wire transfer, so I’ll have some money tomorrow. This is good, because I want to get in on an angel round at Imviva and the chequing account is looking rather sad.
The Swordfish soundtrack is really good. Maybe even good enough to get me to see the movie. Maybe.
Fixy and Ken and Chris and Shatter have been teaching me the ways of Quake 3, and I like to think I’m learning pretty quickly. I used to be quite decent at the original Quake, but that was something like five years ago, so there is a substantial amount of rust to shed.
