@Standback Not gonna switch it for this week, but in general, how are Tuesdays for you? Maybe we should switch the day every so often in any case, to give more people a chance to catch the chat.
@KitFox: Plenty of those "African-American ejaculations" were actually ejaculated outside of America, you ethnocentric narcissist!
@NeilFein: It's less the day, more the time.
(My schedule kind of spreads its density equally over the entire week.)
Again - blocking out an hour of unbroken computer time is really tough for me. I do things in bits and snippets.
I might conceivably be more available if you bumped it up to, say, three hours later- by then my daughter's asleep,
but what I'm really saying is that I'm a lousy choice to base the schedule around, if most of our crowd is U.S.-based, while I'm at GMT+2 and usually unavailable anyway.
@Standback - So let's do next week's chat at 4pm EST on Tuesday. If nothing else, it'll shake things up and maybe bring different folks to the chat.
I'll attend to it.
Looks like you can't change the time of future recurrences of an event. I'll "cancel" the recurring chat event after today's chat, then make a new one at the new time. Should we maybe try doing this on alternate days? One week Monday at the time we have now, the next week Tuesday later? Or should we make them much more different times?
Standback and I have been discussing what time the weekly chat should be, so more people can attend.
Should we have it at the same time every week? If so, what time/day would you prefer? (Times in UTC would be best, or specify your time zone and we'll figure it all out.)
Maybe we could do di...
I am writing a tutorial-type article on high-performance cluster computing. It is aimed at researchers and grad students who want to use clusters to answer scientific questions, especially in the life sciences. I may want to re-use text from this article for future, expanded versions - long-term ...
I'd like to have a preference, but most of my writing, rewriting and editing are done to a background of rambunctious children and Sesame Street.
If I have an opportunity to pick the background noise, I prefer hard rock and heavy metal when the words are flowing, silence when they're not and classical (Vivaldi, Bach) when I'm editing and rewriting.
