Laptop in front, Amiga on the right ( :-D ) Stereo playing Ethiopian blues, and a bottle of fine wine demanding to be opened. And there's a festival (Noorderzon) going on in the city.

You won't be disappointed I think,
though this time I'll be off to the festival I think... After I've finished my dinner (yes it's a titbit late I am aware of that)

Well, I didn't go after all, I was a bit too tired of this week, with all it's social stuff (and maybe I still have a bit of a hangover of last wednesdays)
Tomorrow is a better day.
And somehow I indeed always get all the pretty girls.
Maybe because I don't want 'em.

I've only just built a system capable of running it so right now I'm learning how to wield it.

Having a 'SIMT' system that can throw hundreds of thousands of threads at a problem (up to ~24000 of which can be executing at any given instant with nearly zero context switch overhead) requires quite a different approach in code design than I'm presently used to :-)

You mean, without bugs? ;-)

Ah well, when my dad learned programming he had to wait 2 days before his program was being processed (the university had a so-called 'calculation centre')
Not very nice for debugging either, so you had to prepare things better before coding.
