Bits and bobs
Group meeting occured on the topics of the Move and the Rolling Grant, plus a little bit about computing.
The Move: The meeting took place in the new PhD office. People have been assigned to the office and a further meeting was to happen afterwards to decide desk allocation. This has happened, room has been rearranged, and asides from grabbing a couple of sofas and a coffee table, all is ready.
The Rolling Grant: All I heard was "moan, moan, moan" which translates as "they've changed the way the grants are assessed". Should be fun...
Computing: After yesterday's events, APL has threatened to withdraw funding from UCL's supercomputers by using the Miracle grant. We'll see how negotiations with getting serial jobs back on the fast processors go. Steve is all for trying to renegotiate everything back. Alan wants to pull us out...
Other things.
Howarth handed me more marking and left a message with my officemates about him mailing me the model answers later. This was not conveyed until Howarth returned and made them convey it...
Anasuya got her marking back in the group meeting. I wasn't missing a script.
One run finished, or rather hit the time limit... The only one that was ever likely to. It has been reset off on Rimmer, where it joins a long CMAT2 run already going, which means both of Rimmer's processors are now in use. Where's Alun...
