This seems rather trivial compared to the last post, but life has to return to normal at some point. Today we finally got our MIA Sopranos S3 Disc 1 from Netflix. So tonight we’re a famiglia again! On Sunday night Eleya and I watched Blade II which I just bought …
Erney C Finch III March 14, 1946 – September 11, 2002 Mixed news today, the first piece being that my wife’s father died yesterday of a heart attack at 56. I expect the next few days will be full of phone calls and tears. In other, better news, my mother …
Made a couple of changes to that spec file, to clean it up and properly link libmpi.so. Try another build with this if you had problems with the last one. (The previous link is fixed too.)
Here it is — a .spec file to build an RPM from the current mpich 1.2.4 distribution, which you can pick up at the official home page, or you can just go directly to grabbing the tarball if you already know what you’re doing. I’ve tried this spec file only …

Nice weekend now over. ? Had a cookout/dinner party on Saturday night, where except for my slight overseasoning of the steaks, everything turned out nicely. Sunday was a wonderful, rainy, lazy day, and my wife and I baked some cookies and watched Bridget Jones’s Diary, which was quite good. By …
Originally I set out to make this blog simply reflect my practice schedule and progression using The Stick, but I’ve digressed quite a bit. That probably won’t stop, but I should have noted earlier this week that I played a solo Stick arrangement of the Sting tune “Fields of Gold” …
