  • HPCWire make convincing argument #Oracle abandoning #HPC http://bit.ly/cLyliG (via @HPC_Guru), bad news for BoM and ANU! #
  • What makes it likely: #Oracle is not at #SC10 despite me being told by #Sun ppl at #SC09 that #Oracle would have a stand #
  • Lovely Muscovy duck egg omlette, had heard rumours they had a stronger taste than other duck eggs but didn't seem to. #
  • With Oracle going after Google over Java patents I wonder what the implications are for IBM's Java implementation ? #

  • OK, having another shot at converting the SVN repo, this time with the ruby gem "svn2git", let's see what it makes of it.. #
  • Aha, looks like svn2git has made a better fist of it than git-svn, at least branches work correctly now, though tags don't. #
  • My bad, tags are working too! ๐Ÿ™‚ #
  • Yay, git push back to sourceforge has worked! Can't believe I hadn't touched vacation for all of 2009.. ๐Ÿ™ #
