  • Dear Australia, if your Eisteddfod isn't in Welsh then you're doing it wrong. Diolch yn fawr. #
  • Good blog from @sijoe about the mismatch between #storage performance expectations and reality http://t.co/OeBtBwjq #hpc #
  • Nice to see @googledownunder doing a tribute to Ruby Payne-Scott, radio astronomer, especially after the #SKA news. #
  • FPGA crypto HW backdoor discovered http://t.co/8AOcuUjc – FPGA with matching description http://t.co/Ffs0PQGm #security #
  • Looks like Cambridge people who discovered the backdoor had targeted the same chip in side-channel attacks in prev. papers #
  • Info on #VLSCI IBM #BlueGene Q supercomputer "Avoca" including obligatory install timelapse 🙂 http://t.co/rn1gPzwa #hpc #
  • Congrats @terryandrob! MT @ramtopsgrum
    BBC: Sir Terry Pratchett wins Wodehouse comic fiction award http://t.co/JWTTBjBn #
  • This #btrfs patch looks like it might be useful, especially for people using dpkg.. http://t.co/rY8ZkaSB #
  • "Not foolish and brave, these leaders of ours, but stupid and petty and unworthy of power" – @officialnma, apt for #auspol #
  • Lyrics are from "Ballad" written by Justin Sullivan in 1986 but apply perfectly to what passes for debate in #auspol #

  • Being part of team building + running (hopefully) the most powerful supercomputer in southern hemisphere is a great honour. #
  • Started unfollowing people retweeting #govhack stuff, too noisy. Hopefully will remember to follow once it's over! #
  • Tomorrow, Sunday 3rd June, is the 20th anniversary of Eddie Mabo's historic indigenous land rights win in the High Court. #
  • Eddie Mabo et. al overturned the doctrine of Terra Nullius, that Australia belonged to nobody before Europeans arrived. #
  • It is shameful that it took so long to overturn such a painfully obvious false legal pretense. #
  • I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/p4nXNKzT Professor Elemental – I'm British #
  • .@mjg59 updated blog on #Linux + UEFI secure boot to clarify payments go to Verisign not Microsoft https://t.co/NSSuMd7F #
