I hope you are well and you had a good holiday. As usual, I spent most of it hunched over my laptop writing code. Joy :) I am hoping that some of you would like to give a talk in the technical astrophysics seminar between now and the end of the semester (1st Feb). Please volunteer: I am very happy for people to lead informal discussion sessions as well, just suggest a topic. cheers rob From izzard at astro.uni-bonn.de Thu Jan 10 11:49:03 2013 From: izzard at astro.uni-bonn.de (Robert Izzard) Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:49:03 +0100 Subject: [Techseminar] tomorrow 9.45am Message-ID: <20130110114903.79b83433ded69ac5212f5f7a@astro.uni-bonn.de> Dear tech people, Tomorrow morning I'll demo the editor "LyX" and try to convince you that you never need to edit raw LaTeX again. Or, at least, very rarely when desperate. For more info: http://www.lyx.org/ I live in hope that one of the lurkers volunteers to speak before the end of term... :) cheers rob From izzard at astro.uni-bonn.de Wed Jan 16 21:56:33 2013 From: izzard at astro.uni-bonn.de (Robert Izzard) Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:56:33 +0100 Subject: [Techseminar] Technical Astrophysics Seminar: Friday 18th (9.45am 3rd floor seminar room) Message-ID: <20130116215633.0b4cb378ea3bc95398555ab7@astro.uni-bonn.de> dear Techseminar followers, also those on the HPC mailing list (this might interest you!), This Friday we'll have an update from Toma on the status of the Condor queueing system at the AIfA, also we shall discuss use of the clusters (science, klaiepeda) and the possibility of putting Condor on them, and our policy for using Condor in general (on both the clusters and the desktops). As such, this is more of a discussion session than a talk/demo, so your interaction is required. Please bring your thinking caps! see you then!
