Timing on Games

I had this funny dream last night that the timing team was now writing computer games instead. It was an odd feeling to wake up to.

I would just like to state, for the record, today for the first time ever ls_slbd_dtop_pmac timed and abstracted to completion in parallel (12 processors) without core dumping, or producing errors. This is the best Australia Day ever!!!!

What was 2004? It was a year of stolen and disputed elections in Georgia and the Ukraine, the rise and fall of Howard Dean and John Kerry, the first private space flight and the end of the "X-Prize," disaster in Darfur, prisoner abuse in Iraq, expansion of the European Union, the death of Ronald Regan and a month of flags at half mast, the return of Greek Olympics and a very smug presidential victory. In less political but tragic terms, the worst natural disaster in my memory has occurred in Asia as Tsunami death tolls top 135,000 according to CNN.com.

For me, the year started out as a bleak one in the coldest New York winter I have ever experienced. My mother came to visit me for her birthday. We stayed in Manhattan and it was bitterly cold.

I took a lighting class at Dutchess which was a blast. Some of my friends from Black and White II were taking the class and I met some other cool people. It was so much fun working with those people, including the teacher, Lowel Handler.

In Short, 2004 was A Great Year and I have high hopes that 2005 will be even better.

I got a promotion of sorts. It's a rather hollow victory, since it comes at the expense of a departed colleague. Still, I should be more gracious about this whole thing. I'm now in charge of Wizard development.

I guess this is what bothers me: my manager has gotten rid of two people in my time in the Timing department, and asked me to take over for both of them. Things were never like this under Bob, the manager that hired me.
