Beyond MUDs: Kate Flack on Designing Ultima Forever
February 8, 2013 Page 1 of 3
Ultima has gone through many incarnations since the series' 1981 debut. It was also one of the first major series to tackle the idea of the consequences of a player's actions, good or ill, affecting the story. In 1997, the series took a turn for the massively multiplayer, with Ultima Online. In 1999, the world got a polygonal facelift, with Ultima IX: Ascension. In 2010, Ultima went free-to-play, with Lord of Ultima, though that game was only loosely tied to the original Ultima universe. Lord was the first game without the series' creator, Richard Garriott, and reception was mixed thanks to that -- and the player base's skepticism of a free-to-play model.
Now, in 2013, the series takes another stab at free-to-play, with Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, which takes the world of Ultima IV and adapts it for an action RPG context, with hand-drawn backgrounds and 3D characters. The game is currently in development by BioWare Mythic Entertainment, under the eye of general manager Paul Barnett, and the direction of lead designer Kate Flack.
Flack has a history with MUDs, primarily, and it's this history into which we will now delve, to discuss how early MUDs have influenced MMO design, even today. Beyond that, how do the virtue systems of Ultima work in this new free-to-play space, and with casual players? We spoke at length with Flack about her history, and how that will intertwine with the upcoming Ultima Forever.
Let's talk first about your history, for people who don't know...
Kate Flack: Sure. I've been working in the industry for just over a decade now. I got my start when all this was text, by making MUD games, so I was paid by the word writing quests and creating monsters, that kind of thing.
I then went into pen and paper roleplaying. I did the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying. I wrote Dark Heresy, which was the Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying game, with Owen Barnes and Robert Schwalb, and a couple of other really awesome designers, so I kind of got a bit of experience taking a beloved IP and bringing it to a new audience or reimagining it in a way. After I did that, I moved over to Mythic and worked on Warhammer Online. I was also involved in the first Warhammer Online, which was done by Climax Entertainment. Since then, I've been working at BioWare Mythic, building this game.
Did you find it at all difficult to translate from working so heavily with text to this simultaneously more and less interactive arena, where you don't have as much possibility space as you do in a MUD or a tabletop game?
KF: In a MUD, you have a wonderful realm of imagination; there's so much stuff you can get away with. In a way, it's almost a more pure design. You're not having to interface with an art department; you're not having to worry about coders. But the thing with something like Ultima Forever, or Warhammer, or these more graphical MMOs, is that they're much more accessible. It's the way the industry's going. Although personally I enjoy things like Christine Love's Digital: A Love Story, I know there's not a huge audience for those types of games. Of course you have to go with the graphical angle; of course you have to make them look good, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Do you think that there's anything aside from perhaps superior writing ability that you take from that world to bring to this?
KF: Well, the first MUD started -- this is going to get really nerdy and technical, so just bear with me.
That's perfectly acceptable.
KF: If we look at nearly all of the big graphical MMOs out there, they're based on a DikuMUD code base, which has certain inherent principles within it. For example, let's talk about quests, right? In an MMO, we have this idea that you have to be on a quest; it has to be sitting inside your quest log before you can go fulfill it. If a man wants you to go kill five wolves, it doesn't matter that you [already] just killed five wolves; now you're on the quest, you have to go off, and you have to collect the wolf paws, because that's all that DikuMUD can detect at the time.
But the games I was playing and writing on were European MUD engines with completely different basic assumptions within them. For example, Legends of Terris, which is the first MUD I worked on, would log every single thing that you killed just as a matter of course. You could pull up your kill list and inspect what you'd killed and all these different things.
So when you were doing a quest, very often, you'd get to there and the NPC would say, "Hey! Kill me white wolves!" and then it would detect, oh, you've already done that; here's the quest credit. Why should you have to go off and do it all over again? It's just a simple example of how a difference in engine can make a difference in gameplay. It's that experience; it's a way of playing that doesn't necessarily have the same assumptions underlying them. It gives you a breadth of background and heritage that you can pull from. Just because it's always been done that way doesn't mean I have to do it the same way in Ultima Forever.

Conversations with Akhmatova and Pasternak
In the summer of 1945 the British Embassy in Moscow reported that it was short-handed, especially in the matter of officials who knew Russian, and it was suggested that I might fill a gap for four or five months. I accepted this offer eagerly, mainly. I must admit, because of my great desire to learn about the condition of Russian literature and art, about which relatively little was known in the West at that time. I knew something, of course, of what had happened to Russian writers and artists in the Twenties and Thirties. The Revolution had stimulated a great wave of creative energy in Russia, in all the arts; bold experimentalism was everywhere encouraged: the new controllers of culture did not interfere with anything that could be represented as being a "slap in the face" to bourgeois taste, whether it was Marxist or not. The new movement in the visual arts—the work of such painters as Kandinsky, Chagall, Soutine, Malevich, Klyun, Tatlin, the sculptors Arkhipenko, Pevsner, Gabo, Lipchitz, Zadkine, of the theater and film directors Meyerhold, Vakhtangov, Tairov, Eisenstein, Pudovkin—produced masterpieces which had a powerful impact in the West: there was a similar upward curve in the field of literature and literary criticism. Despite the violence and devastation of the Civil War, and the ruin and chaos brought about by it, revolutionary art of extraordinary vitality continued to be produced.
I remember meeting Sergei Eisenstein in 1945: he was in a state of terrible depression: this was the result of Stalin's condemnation of the original version of his film Ivan the Terrible, because that savage ruler, with whom Stalin identified himself, faced with the need to repress the treachery of the boyars, had, so Stalin complained, been misrepresented as a man tormented to the point of neurosis. I asked Eisenstein what he thought were the best years of his life. He answered without hesitation, "The early Twenties. That was the time. We were young and did marvelous things in the theater. I remember once, greased pigs were let loose among the members of the audience, who leaped on their seats and screamed. It was terrific. Goodness, how we enjoyed ourselves!"
This was obviously too good to last. An onslaught was delivered on it by leftist zealots who demanded collective proletarian art. Then Stalin decided to put an end to all these politico-literary squabbles as a sheer waste of energy—not at all what was needed for Five Year Plans. The Writers' Union was created in the mid-Thirties to impose orthodoxy. There was to be no more argument, no disturbance of men's minds. A dead level of conformism followed. Then came the final horror—the Great Purge, the political show trials, the mounting terror of 1937-1938, the wild and indiscriminate mowing down of individuals and groups, later of whole peoples. I need not dwell on the facts of that murderous period, not…

I have three partitions on my box - the first one is 5GB, and the other two are both 30GB (all are FAT32). Now, the Windows OS is installed on the first partition - there are no other files or programs other than the bare bones stuff XP brings, on that one -, and the other two are used for data and programs respectively.
I partitioned the drive a few years ago (when I wan't great at computers! ), and so I made a mistake and made the XP partition a bit too small for its liking. I've tried to install Service Pack 2, but, you guessed it! There isn't enough room...
So, I've already backed up my data on the second partition, and am planning to merge the first two together. Yet, I have a few questions:
1) Should I defragment the first partition before doing so, or will that not be needed?
2) Is there a - fair - chance that my Windows partition will be corrupted?
3) Which program should I use?
I have heard quite a lot about Partition Magic, but the almighty nihil said in another thread a year ago:
So, I'm unsure what to do! Hehe!It never ceases to amaze me that people persist in using partition magic and other crap like that.....
Thanks in advance,

text: I just set up our test cluster and need to show it off for my boss so he'll hopefully fund a more advanced beowulf cluster. Right now I'm just piecing together the leftovers. Anyway, we have a lot of fortran models, but no parallel compilers (nor were the original programs written with parallel in mind). But we do run the models several times with scripts changing the input files. I was wondering if there was a way to rewrite these scripts to send the different jobs to different nodes on the cluster. I have the Scyld basic with the master and two slaves. Right now, multiple jobs stay on the master, while the slaves remain idle. Ideally I will begin rewriting the code with multi-proc in mind, but to do that, I have to show off the cluster first. Thanks in advance, Anthony

Customer Testimonials
Excellent service – 1st rate – Vehicle Supplied was excellent and very good value for money. Satisfaction rating 10 out of 10
Great Service! Great Guys! I have rented from other companies in the past and had mixed experiences with them. I have shown up for a rental and they didn't have a vehicle for me. I have been overcharged. You name it! I rent vehicles all the time for my band. These guys were prompt and courteous.
This is the 3rd time I've hired from Global and I love the experience. The staff are wonderful and go above and beyond to be helpful. The 1st time we only had 2 of us in the car. The 2nd time there was four and this time 5. We might need a bus next time, lol. I've hired from 2 different companies in Cambridge before and they were a total pain to deal with. You guys make the whole experience easy and I am very grateful, thanks!
A couple of weeks ago I had to rent a 17-passenger van for the film crew that I work with. I was served by your Ipswich office to get the reservation completed at very short notice (the day before pickup). They were really helpful and friendly and ensured that the process went smoothly. I'm really happy to have found you guys as we plan on working in your area a lot over the next two years, and will definitely be renting vans again! Best wishes!

Tim McGraw, 'Truck Yeah' – Song Review
Raise your hand if when you first heard the title of Tim McGraw's new single, you rolled your eyes a little. Raise both hands if they rolled so hard, you gave yourself a headache. Now keep those hands in the air as you find yourself blasting the country-rocker at volume levels intolerable to your neighbors.
Red hot guitars, a fluttering organ and God's angry backbeat quickly bring credibility to the singer's first single from Big Machine Records. 'Truck Yeah' isn't intended to be the smartest song on the radio, but it might be the most fun. The big and noisy redneck anthem is a tornado that sweeps all who resist it into a foot tap, head bob or shameless country music tantrum.
"Truck yeah / Wanna get it jacked up yeah / Let's crank it on up yeah / With a little big of luck I can find me a girl with a truck yeah / We can love it on up yeah / 'Til the sun comes up yeah / And if you think this life I love is a little too country / Truck yeah," McGraw sings during the chorus.
The verses are also worth appreciating. We'll stop short of using the "R" word, but McGraw's style is certainly amongst his least melodic. "Got Little Wayne pumpin' on my iPod / Pumpin' on the subs in the back of my crew cab / Redneck rockin' like a rock star / Sling a little mud off the back we can do that," he rap — errr … says in the first verse.
"Friday night football, Saturday last call, Sunday hallelujah / If you like it up loud and you're hillbilly proud then you know what I'm talking about."
After a few years exploring his inner-artist, McGraw returns with his first right-down-country-Main-St. hit since songs from the 'Live Like You Were Dying' album. Despite the bad play on words for the title, this song may battle 'Real Good Man' for a concert highlight. As if fans needed another reason to catch McGraw on the Brothers of the Sun Tour this summer.

McGlynn leaves Hearts
Hearts have confirmed manager John McGlynn has left the club by mutual consent.
McGlynn departs with immediate effect after taking over at the helm last June, while first-team coach Gary Locke and player development manager Darren Murray will take interim charge of team affairs. McGlynn's departure comes after Wednesday night's 2-0 defeat to St Mirren saw Hearts slip to second bottom of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
He told Hearts News: "I was very grateful to be given the chance to become the Hearts manager as it was my dream job. It is unfortunate that things didn't turn out the way I wanted them to and I am gutted about that. It was an honour and privilege to serve the club in this capacity and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the players, who have been top professionals."
He added: "I am a worker and want to get back into football as quickly as possible. I don't think I could have done any more, but the league table doesn't lie and I know it is a results-driven business.
"We had a lot of difficult circumstances to deal with and they have taken their toll in the end, but no-one will be more delighted than me if the team can go on and win the League Cup."
McGlynn added: "I would like to thank all the backroom staff - the physios, medical staff and video analysis department - also the club's media department and everyone at Tynecastle for being good fellow workmates."
Locke and Murray will be in charge for Saturday's visit of Motherwell, as the club begin the process of finding a permanent manager.
According to the Jambos website, club chiefs are "planning to start discussions with candidates as soon as possible".
A Hearts spokesperson said: "When John came to the club, Hearts was embarking on a transitional phase in the club's history. He began that important period of change and it is now imperative we find the right man to take the transition forward.
"The over-riding factor in this decision was the long-term well-being of Heart of Midlothian Football Club. We would like to thank John for his tireless efforts as manager of Hearts and wish him well with his career. He will be welcomed back to Tynecastle as guest of the club at any time."

Champagne Friday: Larmat Atlas of Champagne
By: Gary Westby | K&L Champagne Buyer
Larmat Atlas of Champagne
Good maps of the vineyards in Champagne are almost impossible to come by. While almost every other great wine region of the world actively promotes the distribution of maps, Champagne, by contrast, is downright secretive. Some of the best vineyard-specific cartography of the region was printed in tiny runs in 1944 by the Larmat Company in Paris. They were commissioned by a number of the big houses (I have also seen the Roederer and Mumm versions) and I was able to acquire one of the Moet editions.
Benoit Marguet searched auctions in the Champagne region for 10 years on my behalf in order to find this copy. The Larmat Atlas that he found is one of only 500 printed by Moet and is in the best shape of any that I have seen. After receiving it, I contacted Moet for permission to post them here. They agreed, but asked me to explain that the vineyards marked as owned by them on these maps from 1944 do not reflect the current state of affairs. Over the last 68 years new plots have been bought, some old ones sold and other traded.
And finally, here are links to the seven maps and one sales chart from the original Larmat. These are very large PDF's, so it might take a little while to load them. As I showed in the video, I had theses printed out in full size on laminated Styrofoam board. I hope some of you will also print them out, mine turned out great!

The Martian rovers Opportunity and Spirit have represented optimism, hope and even cuteness to millions of people dreaming about discoveries on the Red Planet.
How appropriate, then, that the newest rover, Curiosity, should carry a sundial with sentiments and illustrations worthy of classic children's literature. Curiosity blasted off onboard an Atlas 5 rocket on November 26 and is currently heading for Mars with an August 2012 landing date.
The sundial doubles as the color-calibration target for the Mast camera (Mastcam) that will capture the Martian landscape. Its image will be transmitted from Mars to Earth many times, and students might use it to learn about the ways that such simple but elegant instruments can be used to determine the time, date, season and latitude on a planetary surface with atmospheric hues different from our own. And it will remain on Mars for the benefit of future space travelers.
Among the messages and illustrations on the sundial is the name "Mars" written in 16 different languages, including ancient Sumerian and Inuktitut, around the edges.
The artist behind this creation is Jon Lomberg, who was Carl Sagan's colleague and favorite artist and who has launched five message artifacts to Mars, with this sundial on Curiosity marking the fifth. Three others have made it, including the DVD he helped to curate entitled Visions of Mars, attached to the 2007 Phoenix lander. You can read more about the sundial on Lomberg's blog at www.citizenofthegalaxy.com.
Like the other rovers before it, maybe one day Curiosity will become the stuff of legend and storybook dreams.

I suspect that the institutions that have the biggies are too busy with "real work" to run a benchmark on the cluster - wasted time, and all that. OK, so it would have been nice to run a benchmark on the new farms at Fermilab instead of Seti at home to burn them in for Run II but... it was just easier than futzing around installing MPI/PVM/etc. Oh, well....

text: Today the Register ran an article on MareNostrum http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/13/barcelona_supercomputer/ which said it consumes 630kW, weighs 100,000 pounds, and yet occupies only 1290 square feet. Presumably that footprint is for the equipment and not the total room size, because 488 watts/sq-ft seems a bit over the top. Also, it lives in a chapel. Really. A bit of poking around on the web turned up this rather interesting document: http://www.upc.edu/catala/la-upc/govern/bupc/hemeroteca/2004/b69/20-09-2004.pdf It's in Catalan but you can make some sense of it by picking the nearest words in either French or Spanish (I'm not fluent enough to publish a translation.) Have a look at the diagrams near the end. It looks like a lot more than 1290 sq feet is assigned to this computer. The chapel floor seems to be untouched and is presumably still used - although given the roar of the cluster nearby, perhaps only for services for the deaf. If anybody from Barcelona is reading this list please supply more details. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Security is serious business, and most of the men and women who work in physical security treat it as such. However, there are times when loose talk out of shop can cause serious security breaches for a contractor's commercial and institutional clients. The result can be a successful break-in or the gleaning of critical information considered classified in nature.
One of the biggest targets of foreign intelligence agencies is the advanced information developed and contained by a variety of businesses in the United States, including defense contractors. The mandate of these agencies is to glean any and all research and design data if possible.
A good example of this is the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, commonly referred to as the SVR. It is the SVR's mandate to penetrate U.S. targets and glean valuable information on a variety of subjects. Robert P. Hanssen, formerly an FBI special agent, was under the employ of the SRV with a mandate to penetrate the U.S. intelligence community, and he did.
Although U.S. government secrets are highly sought after by the SVR and other nations' intelligence services, the primary risk to the security market relates to industrial and institutional clients.
"… [T]he main consumers of intelligence are factories, research institutes, and government agencies … [and] when specialized intelligence is needed, a requirement is levied on the intelligence services, which sometimes collect the desired information through covert operations," according to the Interagency Operational Security (OPSEC) Support Staff Intelligence Threat Handbook.
Our own CIA actively shares important foreign data with U.S. businesses. This is information that CIA field officers glean from under the noses of foreign businesses and industrial concerns.
Today, most of these attacks occur through the Internet against specific business and institutional computer networks, where much of the target data lies. But there are other approaches that internal security departments and outside security vendors must be prepared for if they are to thwart these efforts.
In his article, "How to not get hacked in Chinese surgery," Richard Gould writes, "Just as companies' research and development departments try to stay on the cutting-edge of technical progress, criminals are perpetually developing ways to take advantage of security lapses. Their gain is a company's loss, and a diverse range of industries can become targets for fraudulent activity that is very difficult to reasonably anticipate."
Almost every nation has an intelligence service, even a relatively small one, such as South Korea. According to an anonymous editorial published in the South Korea Times, the country's intelligence service is seeking to restore domestic spying, full control of the -antiterrorist administration and regular 'direct' reporting to the president. Our own NSA, FBI, CIA and an alphabet of other federal agencies are working on the same three fronts.
Operation security
In spring 2004, I had the fortune to attend a talk given by former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik. Kerik gave the keynote address at the International Security Conference West in Las Vegas.
He suggested that professional security installers in the physical security market are on the forefront of homeland security, the eyes and ears that keep this nation safe and its industrial and institutional secrets intact.
There's a real need for understanding where it comes to operation security within the security community. Not only is it imperative that security personnel understand the principles behind this invaluable tool, but it's also important they ensure their clients understand it.
Lessons learned
The OPSEC lesson was originally learned during the Vietnam War when an investigation by the Department of Defense revealed that South Vietnamese nationals working on U.S. bases in the country were carefully observing and listening to everything U.S. military personnel did and said. The result was the ability of the Viet Cong to assemble an accurate understanding of classified operations, which in turn resulted in the loss of U.S. lives.
All of this goes back to a catch phrase once touted during World War II: loose lips sink ships. While the phrase was widely distributed throughout Navy ranks in order to stop sailors from talking too much when on shore leave, it is absolutely valuable and applicable in today's post-Cold War era when almost everything in the U.S. industrial complex and institutional research are up for grabs by foreign powers. And yes, it can happen here.
The overwhelming message for security companies and installers is to encourage personnel not to talk about clients out of shop. Also, when you know your firm serves the interests of industrial clients and universities with major research departments, train your people to be watchful for any sign of tampering, no matter how insignificant it may appear. If you suspect a crime has been committed, report it to your client as well as the Department of Homeland Security.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet on Sunday approved a bill that will result in the military conscription of most of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish males by 2017.
Until now, the vast majority of ultra-Orthodox males have opted out of national service, a fact that has caused a deep rift between religious and secular Israelis, the latter feeling that they were carrying too much of the national security burden alone.
Many of the parties that fared well in Israel's legislative election earlier this year had vowed to finally remedy this problem, including the religious Jewish Home faction.
The bill passed Sunday's vote with a count of 14 in favor, zero against and four abstentions. It will now go to the Knesset, where it is almost certain to pass into law, as even the main opposition Labor Party supports bringing the ultra-Orthodox into the IDF and, hopefully, into the national workforce.
A number of compromises were made in the bill to bring it to this point.
If the bill becomes law, it will require all Israeli Jews, including ultra-Orthodox, to answer the call of mandatory military service, with a few exceptions.
When Israel first declared independence in 1948, Prime Minister David Ben Gurion agreed that a limited number of religious Jews would forgo army service so they could focus on Bible studies and prayer, which he considered just as important as wielding a gun in the nation's defense. However, for decades that agreement has been abused and manipulated to win exemption for nearly all ultra-Orthodox Jews, resulting in a loss of over 10,000 conscripts every year for the IDF.

Lone Star Close to Buying Portfolio of Soured Loans From BBVA
By Christopher Bjork
MADRID—U.S. property investor Lone Star Funds is close to buying a portfolio of defaulted Spanish residential mortgage loans from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, people familiar with talks between the companies said Thursday.
The deal, months in the making, would give the Dallas-based company soured mortgages with a face value of about €500 million ($678.4 million), at a discount of close to 70%, one of these people said. The parties aim to close the deal within a few weeks.
BBVA and Lone Star declined to comment on the talks.
BBVA, Spain's second-biggest lender by assets, put the loan portfolio up for sale in the summer of last year along with a package of foreclosed property assets, a transaction the bank code-named Operation Camelia.
Since Spain's housing bubble burst five years ago and pushed the country into a long economic downturn, the proportion of loans in arrears has risen to more than 11% of the country's bank debt. Banks have poured money at the problem. Last year alone, lenders were forced by the Spanish government to set aside more than €70 billion in provisions to cover losses on bad property debts.
The result is that some banks now have adjusted the value of property portfolios on their books to levels attractive to foreign investors. BBVA's rival Banco Santander last year sold two portfolios of defaulted loans, one to Lone Star and the other to Cerberus Capital Management. Experts say a steady stream of this type of deals will come to market this year as banks clean house.
Lone Star and other managers of distressed assets, such as Fortress Investment Group, are also looking for opportunities at Spain's newly created bad bank structure, SAREB, which was set up late last year and will hold real estate assets worth roughly €50 billion.

From the internationally bestselling author of London and Sarum -- a magnificent epic about love and war, family life and political intrigue in Ireland over the course of seventeen centuries. Like the novels of James Michener, The Princes of Ireland brilliantly interweaves engrossing fiction and well-researched fact to capture the essence of a place. Edward Rutherfurd has introduced millions of readers to the human dramas that are the lifeblood of history. From his first bestseller, Sarum, to the #1 bestseller London, he has captivated audiences with gripping narratives that follow the fortunes of several fictional families down through the ages. The Princes of Ireland, a sweeping panorama steeped in the tragedy and glory that is Ireland, epitomizes the power and richness of Rutherfurd's storytelling magic. The saga begins in pre-Christian Ireland with a clever refashioning of the legend of Cuchulainn, and culminates in the dramatic founding of the Free Irish State in 1922. Through the interlocking stories of a wonderfully imagined cast of characters -- monks and noblemen, soldiers and rebels, craftswomen and writers -- Rutherfurd vividly conveys the personal passions and shared dreams that shaped the character of the country. He takes readers inside all the major events in Irish history: the reign of the fierce and mighty kings of Tara; the mission of Saint Patrick; the Viking invasion and the founding of Dublin; the trickery of Henry II, which gave England its foothold on the island in 1167; the plantations of the Tudors and the savagery of Cromwell; the flight of the Wild Geese ; the failed rebellion of 1798; the Great Famine and the Easter Rebellion. With Rutherfurd'swell-crafted storytelling, readers witness the rise of the Fenians in the late nineteenth century, the splendours of the Irish cultural renaissance, and the bloody battles for Irish independence, as though experiencing their momentous impact firsthand. Tens of millions of North Americans claim Irish descent. Generations of people have been enchanted by Irish literature, and visitors flock to Dublin and its environs year after year. The Princes of Ireland will appeal to all of them -- and to anyone who relishes epic entertainment spun by a master. From the Hardcover edition.
^ top
Edward Rutherfurd was born in Salisbury, England, and educated at Cambridge University and Stanford University in California. His first bestselling novel, Sarum, is based on the history of Salisbury and Stonehenge. Russka, his second novel, recounted the sweeping history of Russia. London tells the two-thousand-year story of the great city, bringing all of the richness of London s past unforgettably to life. The Forest was set in England's ancient New Forest. A former resident of London and New York City, Edward Rutherfurd has had a home in Dublin for more than ten years. He has two children.

text: Hello all, I apologise for what may be a very simple issue but is giving me trouble. I would really appreciate some advice. For learning the setup of a cluster, I have installed mpich2 on a linux machine with Red Hat 8.0. I have a second machine RH 8.0. w2 is the master and w1 is the slave. I have installed mpich2 on w2 (/home/mpi) and used nfs to share /home with w1. I have also setup passwordless ssh between w1 and w2. I am able to bring up mpd on the local machine (w2) and do mpdtrace and mpdallexit. I am following the installation procedure from the MPICH2 home. I am unable to boot mpd on the slave.

Retired U.S. Marine Corps staff sergeant turned actor R. Lee Ermey will be at the new Frisco Gun Club on Sunday to sign copies of his new book, Gunny's Rules: How to Get Squared Away Like a Marine.
The 69-year-old is best known for his military roles in films. His role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket earned him a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor. He also played host to two programs on the History Channel: Mail Call and Lock N' Load with R. Lee Ermey.
Many will recognize him as the voice of the plastic Army man Sarge in the Toy Story movies. His other film credits include Apocalypse Now, The Boys of Company C, Leaving Las Vegas, Saving Silverman, Dead Man Walking and Se7en.
His online biography states that he spent 11 years in the Marines. He served 14 months in Vietnam and did two tours in Okinawa, Japan, before being forced to retire because of injuries. He was later awarded the honorary rank of gunnery sergeant.
Emery will sign copies of his book from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Frisco Gun Club, 6565 Eldorado Parkway. The club, which opened in late November, is the largest indoor luxury gun range in the country with 36 handgun lanes and four rifle lanes.


text: Just for the sake of argument, let's say one has today 6 x 10kW racks cooled via an A/C that runs off a chilled water line. Two years from now water cooled racks become widely available. How would the transition from A/C to water cooling be handled? Could the same cooled water line (2" or whatever it is) be split and partially fed into the racks, partially into the A/C? Naively this would seem like it might be an option because the heat that would have gone out through the A/C for the air cooled rack would instead go directly into the chilled water for the water cooled rack. Would it make sense in designing new rooms to use a larger diameter chilled water line now? Should a capped T or two be put in the line to facilitate this transition? (If nothing else, it would make adding more A/C floor units easier.) Or is chilled water too cold for direct use in cooling computer equipment? (For nstance, causing condensation problems.)

New York, NY – I set my alarm to go off at 5:00 so that I'd be able to leave by 5:30 to get to 55 Water (The Vietnam Veteran's memorial) at 6:30. The alarm went off and I got up, but I figured "I showered last night I don't have much to do before I leave, I can lay down for a second again and then head out." I wake up again at 6:30…
I throw clothes on, pack up my battery pack, and book it. I get to Wall Street at 7:15. OccupyTime is a wonderful thing as they are still organizing.
A group of about 300 people leaves from 55 Water at around 7:30 and we march with intent to form The People's Wall in front of the NYSE. This action's intent would be to block anyone from entering the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It is no surprise this action really just ended up with us marching in circles around the financial district. The area was heavily fortified and there was no way the police were going to let us anywhere near the NYSE. This was not terribly surprising but it was certainly discouraging to me. No matter, back to 55 Water St to regroup.
Now for the action entitled "99 Revolutions." This is when the fun began. We left the Veteran Memorial in smaller Affinity Groups. The idea for 99 Revolutions was to disperse in small groups and block traffic at intersections in a very decentralized manner. The theory: the police know how to deal with a centralized group. The police will not be as able to stop a great many different groups, in various locations, around the financial district. Some groups would get stopped yes, but many would likely be able to cause traffic jams. This plan worked brilliantly.
I happened by about several different intersections where traffic was being slowed down considerably due to the protester and police presence. I saw several arrests as well. Here are some videos:
Congestion at William and Pine (video length approx 4 mins):
Arrests resulting from the congestion at William and Pine (video length approx 5 mins):
At the 3:00 mark of this video you can hear the crowd chanting "We! Pay Your Salary!"
Marching in circles, blocking traffic, at Beaver and South William St. (video length approx 1:45)
More at the same intersection of Beaver and South William St. (video length approx 1:45)
More at the same intersection of Beaver and South William St. (video length approx 2:00) (dancing in street begins at 1:27)
Chanting "A-Anti-Anticapitalista" in the same intersection of Beaver and South William St. (video length approx :18)
It is very much worth noting the success of this tactic of intersection blockades can be seen through the action at this intersection lasted about 5 and a half minutes. During that time. Not one police officer came to stop us. I heard somewhere the officers were busy on dealing with our successful congestion of Broadway.
The intersection blockades lasted until 10, at which point we all met up at Bowling Green (the location of the Wall Street Bronze Bull Statue) for an environmental action. As usual the police had the bull completely surrounded and guarded from the threat of protesters who, at most, would have had difficult time putting a dent in the statue because it is made of bronze.
To gather everyone together, all 3 to 400 of us we had Reverend Billy Talen doing his thing with the Stop Shopping Choir
Next there was a theatrical performance about the environment. To help the show the Rude Mechanical Orchestra rocked some background music:
Jill Stein spoke next
My feeling about Jill Stein is as follows. I like what she says. However, there's no chance she'll ever win election. Until there is serious electoral reform (at least) the only candidates who will ever have a chance to win are those from the corporate whore parties (Democrats/Republicans). So though Jill Stein seems cool to me, I can't get overly excited about her. At most I hope she inspires others.
After this we took a short break and had an Action Spokes council in Battery Park to discuss what actions would take place for the rest of the day. I didn't attend this because my phone was not charging well off my battery which meant I needed a new cable. I headed to J&R. This unfortunately did not pan out well since J&R is owned by Jewish people and S17 was the first day of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. So I looked around, saw a Sprint store, assumed a cell phone store would have a cable to charge a cell phone, and went there to buy it. Success!
This is also when I realized I had an opportunity to get lunch so I hit up a halal cart and went to eat in Liberty Square. I met with friends, chatted, and nourished myself on Chicken and Rice. I was also informed of a march that would be taking place by VOCAL NY I believe after the rally that was about to take place.
I want to say right off the bat, I respect and appreciate every organization that came to the rally and said their piece. The more community groups we have the better. The more organized we are the better. The more we work to fix our own problems instead of relying on a leader the better. However, I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate rallies. I find them incredibly boring and scripted. I can appreciate an organized march with a scripted demonstration within it. However, I get bored out my mind standing in one place for an hour listening to community organizations plug themselves. Some people like rallies because of the structuring, programming, and the way that they can learn about organizations. For learning about organizations, yes, rallies are cool. However, most of the time the speakers at rallies just say relatively generic stuff which appeals to audiences interested in the same causes they are.
Anyway, after the rally I got wind of another action to happen at the World Financial Center. I raced over.
As soon as I got there I noticed there was private event going on (it seemed to be a car show). I hit up the celly loop to get the word out. The new plan was apparently to meet up by the marina. Yup, there was a crowd there of probably 3 to 400. We had a short discussion over the fact that there were people in Liberty Square who wanted to join us. This however would have taken too long. The group ended up splitting at this point. One group went to Goldman Sachs to do a civil disobedience where I believe 5 people were arrested. Another group went to the FDR drive to block traffic for about a minute. I went with the group to Goldman Sachs. Unfortunately my camera angles weren't very good here so there's not much to post.
Next we went back to Liberty Square. By this point the atmosphere was vibrant in the park. Full of celebration, discussion, nostalgia, singing, dancing, drumming. It was just like the days of the Occupation when the movement had finally gotten mainstream attention to draw in the crowds, and we hadn't put up tents yet. It was perfect and words can't describe it, just watch…
(approx video length 30:00)
The next march we did was at about 3:30 and we wanted Wall Street. The restrictions on the area had dropped a bit from the morning's attempts and we got so far as a block from the New York Stock Exchange. Upon reaching Nassau Street and Pine Street I had already made my way to the front of the march and I got a surprise. THE PEOPLE'S GONG! It was unfortunately cut short as the police realized what we were doing and viewed it as something which could be a potential "win" if we were allowed to recite the whole thing; so they pushed the entire crowd back. It was awesome though.
At this point I took down my feed and needed lunch. My lunch had left me relatively unfulfilled, I was dehydrated, and dealing with the shock of being EXTREMELY close to police brutality on the last march (I saw an officer ram an Occupier's head into the scaffolding on Cortlandt St. I'd post this footage, but even though my phone never showed any kind of signal problem, the footage is no longer in my archive and I never deleted it).
The GA happened at 8 in Liberty Square and I just wanted to relax for a bit and talk to friends, and gather myself. I took my feed down for maybe an hour.
At around 10 was when we got the first sign of the police saying "okay kiddies, time to end the celebration." The lights over the park turned off, and the police presence had grown to some degree around the park. This caused some concern amongst those present in the park which a few people (GA provocateurs from back when) took full advantage of and almost manipulated us into a march. A march would have led to a beat down as it was after hours, and past sundown, in New York. We were saved though. Occu-cake was served.
(video length approx 3:30)
The rest of the night consisted of the police intimidation tactics and not much else. They shined 6 floodlights into the park. Yes, 6 floodlights, because 7 would have been too many… They came in and escalated the environment for no reason and then left. We reacted with some cop hate getting spewed on one side of the park while people danced for Anarchy on the other side. Some of us dealt with the the police escalation with a massive Occupy Ohm Circle. It was a wonderful, trademark way to end the 1 year anniversary.
I remember, when the park was raided back on November 15 and the newspapers were saying "Occupy faces an uncertain future," my response was "the raid saved the movement because it forced us to band together and stand our ground." The raid also gained us a lot of support from the general public as, on raid night, the Occupy Wall Street trend eclipsed ALL other trends on twitter. Everyone who was involved in the movement just laughed at the media's death sentencing of us. We got together and we organized, we did road trips, we made friends, we started building alliances with community organizations. We started Interoccupy. We resurfaced on May Day and inspired tons of other groups to join the May Day march (who'd never wanted to associate with it before). We went to the NATO summit in Chicago in spite of the fact that everyone was terrified of what might happen to us, and we ended up becoming very acquainted with Michigan Avenue. We held the National Gathering. We did a 99 mile march. We went to the RNC and the DNC.
Now however I do need to ask whether or not we face an uncertain future. Occupy succeeded in changing the conversation of the nation, which is no easy task. There has also been a lot of inspired activism from Con Ed workers, the Chicago Teacher's strike, and smaller more under-unionized groups like Car Wash Workers. It's wonderful how we're starting to see a growth in activism in the country. I do need to ask, though. What does Occupy do now? We spent a year complaining, and there was a LOT to complain about. However, amidst the complaining, we're going to have to start offering solutions. Maybe not concrete solutions, but we need to start offering ideas and having discussions. You can't only talk about the negatives without exploring ways to fix them. This does not necessarily mean reforms. It just means we have to start giving people reasons why they should still believe in us.
The anniversary proved that Occupy never died (even though the Mainstream Media has said the 1500 protesters in Zuccotti Park/Liberty Square only numbered "a few hundred" protesters on S17). What do we have to show for it though? Great, we never left, what did we learn in over the past year about ourselves and about organization? Where did we mess up? Where did we succeed? Where did we wander with a lack of understanding what we were doing? How do we do outreach? How do we communicate better with one another? What does it mean to Occupy?
No matter what the answer is we can't be stuck on particulars. In-fighting wont solve anything, and we've seen too much of that already. We have to work towards the world that we want, but we CANNOT be certain of what that world will be. The main reason for this is, we're not prophets, and we if we try to be extremely rigid in our visions of the future, we'll fail at accomplishing any vision for the future besides a dispersed, and divided one. One of the values of true Anarchy, as I understand it, is learning to respect one another and accept our differences, coexisting but making sure we hold each other accountable. Can we do this? We wont reach solve everything in a year from now, and we wont do it in two years either. However, what can we accomplish in a year? What would be significant, yet practical?
I'm in this for the long haul, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
