Fast Eddy: Our New Supercomputer (at the day job) and some sad news






link.

This is tempered by the fact a coworker died.  He had a medical emergency at work and despite the efforts of folks here went into a coma.  He passed on friday.  I've known him for almost 13 years.  He even interviewed me when I came here and was very kind after a grueling day of interviews.  We worked together on the beginnings of the nersc global file system and then later when he was in the tape systems.  He always had a funny story or gentle, yet snarky comment which would lift my spirits.  He is survived by his wife.

Mike, we will miss you.  And, Mike, I already do.
