Grown up breakfast
Yesterday morning I went out for breakfast which is an uneventful occurance for my Saturdays. I went to my favorite local restaurant, Tilly's. Or is it Tully's? Nelly's? Anyway, it's my favorite because they serve breakfast late and they have a counter. I mossied up to the bar and took the stool third from the end. Is was pretty crowded and the stools are bolted to the floor a bit too close to conform to the "American Elbow Room" rule. When you sit at the counter, you can hear all the other conversations, and - lacking any interesting eavesdropping - you can hear what they order.
I've noticed something about the folks whose town I live in. Most of them don't order on the menu. At greasy spoon-type establishments like this one, I just order the #2, whatever the #2 happens to be. It's a system that works well at Mexican restaurants as well. The folks in these parts though aren't content with ordering items in varieties and quantities supplied by the mere menu. They know what they want, and they're unwilling to order around what's being offered. The woman to my right, "I'll have a stack of pancakes, some crisp bacon and three scrambled eggs". Now except the extra egg or the implied pickyness of adding a crispness quota to her bacon, this is essentially a menu item. The addition of one egg has put her order in the "on the side" part of the menu. Ordering ala carte is rarely the most cost effective way of ordering, but since when are people here concerned with money?
O.K. I'm rambling rhetorically. I took a look at the menu as I always do. It's been sort of a game over the past year. I come in, take a seat at the counter, look at the menu and order the exact same thing each time. It's known by many names, The #2, the pancake sandwich or sometimes pigs in a blanket with 2 eggs. Essentially, it's a short stack of pancakes (2), 2 eggs any style and 2 strips of bacon or sausage links. Sometimes I vary my meat choice, but the eggs are always scrambled. I'm convinced that you get more for your food dollar when you order scrambled.
But this morning was different. I looked through the menu and imagined the tastes of all the different items of the menu. "Have you decided?", the waitress said in an unthrilled tone. "I'm feeling interesting", I explained. "I don't want the breakfast combo (as it's known here). I'm looking for something out of the ordinary." And just like that, I did it! I ordered an omelette. And no kiddie ham & cheese omelette mind you. Heck, I didn't even stop at the Denver omelette. No sir, I went all the way into the realm of "grown up food" for my breakfast.
Italian sausage with cilantro mixed with onions and pesto sauce! It was green for cryin' out loud! A hearty helping of some white cheese topped off my breakfast choice. Not only that, but it came with hashbrowns, a breakfast pet peeve of mine. Nobody in the food service industry is capable of making hashbrowns. They always serve hashgreys - almost raw in the middle.
It was good, like really good. It was grown up food for breakfast, and I'm going to do it again. Maybe - just maybe - I'll not have this Italian pesto wonder again until I try a few more items from the "exotic" end of the menu.

Be careful of what you say (or: Sue-happy Bastards!)
I always used to say that I'd never sue anyone under any circumstances. I held true to this for years and indirectly was able to exercise this belief during the wrongful death case of my father-in-law. Well, that's not always how it works. Case in point:
Do you have car insurance? Well, you've just authorized your insurance company to sue people on your behalf. I know because I'm currently suing someone. Well, I'm not doing the suing, my insurance company paid me for the accident I had in July and then asked the guilty party (either the car rental company or the nice Korean tourists) for the money to cover my claim.
It turns out that they "have been unable to collect from the responsible party for damages paid", so they're going to sue.
How does that make me feel? I feel bad because there's no easy way out of this for either of us. The accident was not my fault, and I don't feel that I should have had to put up the cost of a replacement truck. But I don't want to take money away from people who very likely can't afford it just because they weren't paying attention (if it was the Koreans that this legal document is describing). I'd be willing to take installment payments or work something else out if I knew it wasn't the rental car company that the liars were going after.
I'm hoping that it's the rental company that the liars are going after for allowing non-licensed, uninsured, foreign nationals to rent a car in the first place. Apparently, they may have rented a car to them without forcing them to purchase insurance.
In a nutshell, this is how the world works. In a best case scenario, I have insurance, they have insurance and the liars get rich whenever we meet by accident.

Do This (part II)
Do This:
Find the nearest book.
Open it to page 23.
Find the 5th sentence.
Post the sentence on your BLOG.
Post these directions on your BLOG alongside.
Today, mine turned out thusly.
Page 23, Sentence 5:
"For example, when a floating-point variable from a DB2 UDB for iSeries application requestor is assigned to a column of a table at an DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 application server, DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390, knowing the data type and the sending system, converts the number from IEEE format to S/370 format."

Update
Quick update while I'm taking a break...
Great party! woo hoo! Wow, I'm sore all over.
Saw relatives I've never met before and some that I haven't seen in maybe 25 years.
I'm a father as of Sunday. O.K. I'm a Godfather to Adeline. I'm honored. Does this mean I can buy a pinky ring and start wearing black shirts w/white ties?
O.K. Gotta go!

9,153,000,000!
That's how many floating point calculations our BG/L can do in a second. That's 9.153 Teraflops in scientific terms. We'd be #13 in the world according to www.top500.org if we got this result in before November 2004. Either way, we'll likely still be in the top 25 next time around.
In related news, we have a trick up our sleeve that will be sure to impress computer science circles. Enough said though.
Oh by the way, for the first time, I feel a need to say that views expressed on my blog are my own. They may or may not be the thoughts, feelings, etc. of my employer.

Room to breathe
Lately, I've been in four hours of meetings every day in order to track several projects I'm on. It's basically, "the project is behind schedule, so let's spend an hour every day talking about why it's behind schedule." Four times a day. It's a wonder I get anything done.
My job is such that I can't spend a few hours here and a few hours there working on something. I need to work on one thing for several hours at a time - usually several days. I emerse myself in a problem and kick out the sides until all (I hope all) the bugs are worked out, but I can do that by just picking up where I left off.
So today, one of the managers who is heading up two of my projects is out. Another manager who is heading up one of my projects is out. I almost have the whole day to myself - just a brief 1/2 hour progress meeting for a project I'm not that involved with yet.
Do I start off by goofing off on my blog? No, not really. I'm embracing this free time to bring everyone up to date (part of that work/life balance thing).
My parents are having their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday. We're having a banquet at a hotel ballroom. Dinner, dancing, drinking, people I haven't seen since the Beering party. Relatives I've never seen. I'm looking forward to it.
I've discovered the secret to staying married. Don't quit. I haven't yet discovered the secret to being happy in marriage. Compromise springs to mind, but then neither one is happy. I dunno - maybe I'll take some time out and ask those people coming to the party who are approaching their 50th.

Strange
So a couple of nights ago I had a dream that I made a 1.2 Terawatt ring laser and used the weak gravitational force created by the electromagnetic field of the ring to do some frame shifting. Early experiments showed a shift of 150 ms, but I was going whole hog for this 1.2 TW laser in a 750 acre "ring". Actually, it was an long expanse of switchbacks. My desk was in the middle and I was shooting for 150 seconds. Wierd I tell ya, but that's what you get when you fall asleep with the tv on the Discovery Channel.

Nth
Well, I guess I managed to loose a little more hair this week. A few more gray ones and an avalanche of meetings. Although I'm not as involved as I will be next week, we ran the linpack benchmark on our BG/L and we ranked #N in the world. Oops, I don't know if that's confidential. Darnit!
O.K. back to work.
O.K. back to work.

Moses
I'm sorry, but I have to keep most of the facts of this story a secret, as I'm not sure of all the facts. They're unfolding around me as I type. I know I usually hold nothing back on this blog, but in this case, it's about someone I don't know that well and I might effect future events by letting the cat out of the bag.
Essentially, this is a confession. A confession of future failure on my part. Why title this entry "Moses"? Because Moses had a speech impediment and God told him to be his voice. I have a heart impediment and I fear that God is asking me to show compassion.
O.K. [deep breath] here it goes. I know somebody in an abusive relationship. Please don't ask me who. In the past few days, I've seen what I believe is a hand outstretched, reaching for help. At the time, I had no idea of what the signal was until I started asking people.
I've worked so hard to maintain a "monk-like" lifestyle in the past few years that to reach out and help someone I hardly know is a leap I feel ill-prepared to make. Such is the same excuse that Moses gave God though (Exodus 4:10).
At this point in my life, even something as simple as light conversation over a cup of coffee is out of the question. I have a notion to call her and be an ear for her to talk to, but my past haunts me. I'd like to ride in on a white horse and rescue her, but we both know that's not realistic.

This is news. This is truth.
You get a point if you can name the movie line above. I just finished watching "Jon Stewart's Brutal Exchange with CNN Hosts" (Crossfire). Wow! I'm contemplating getting my news from Comedy Central from now on.
Seriously though, I've been watching "Red state" news, and it's pretty easy to see the spin they put on stories. They've really gotten sloppy with that recently. It's probably because those in charge have gotten sloppy in how they do business. I remember a day when an operative would go in and get out with nothing so much as a dead sparrow to show their path.
So, I decided to switch my news source. Since the network news is all pretty much right wing, I wanted a different opinion so I could make up my own mind. I started with NPR around September, but that proved to be either too mainstream (i.e. politically sanitized) or just plain wrong (radical conspiracy theorists). I moved on to Pacifica Radio and Air America, but they also have their own agendas.
So far I've yet to find a "fair and balanced" non-partisan, unspun news feed. Even my C-SPAN is tainted because I can't hear any counter arguments to whatever is being proposed short of some senator from Whosits with their own agenda (and spin).
I feel a desire to be informed, but as a busy person, I rarely have the opportunity to sit down with all news feeds worldwide and weed through the chaff to find the wheat.
Suggestions?

Too busy to blog
It's been a whirlwind of busy-ness (i typed busyness, but it looked wierd). Trips to here and there. Meetings about this and that. I'll write something coherent when I get a chance.
* I have a great-niece now (Adeline Ryan)
* I went to Rochester Minnesota
* I saw a pre-show rehersal of Prairie Home Companion
* We're building one of the fastest computers in the world (We'll likely be around #25)
