@emmadavidson I'm kinda jealous! 😊
NCI and the Pawsey Centre in Perth are amazing facilities that are doing the behind-the-scenes number crunching on some incredible research projects.
@emmadavidson what's running on those fancy computers...Excel?
@emmadavidson I went of a tour of the facilities at [redacted] and we were not allowed to take photos of any of the flashing lights, machines or anything 😞
@emmadavidson oh I miss being a literal computer toucher.
@emmadavidson That GIF is awesome. Thank you.
@emmadavidson Can it run Crysis?
@emmadavidson Fond memories of begging for higher cluster quotas on some of those machines. And then eventually using Nectar with OpenStack when it was added as a node using other machines.
@emmadavidson lovely beautiful racks, clean pipes, etc.
@emmadavidson i thought there was a subReddit for rack porn. I just went to look for it. Do not search for "rack porn" on your work computer.
@emmadavidson I do admire neatly labelled, colour-coded cables. I admire them even more if they've been there for a few years and no one's had a Friday arvo "but I've only got yellow cables, it'll do" moment.
@emmadavidson So many cable ties!
@troberts @emmadavidson zooms in, phew, no they’re sensible people and have used Velcro strips.
Cable ties in computing should be banned.
@emmadavidson @troberts ahhh this lil Velcro things are boss for that
@emmadavidson you can see some of my terabytes there 😁
@emmadavidson @troberts I can put you in touch with a local company that will do so for moneys...
