Meetings, meetings, Meetings.
It had been a couple of quite active weeks, some of us met even more than once:
- Regular Data Capacitor group meetings: SC07 is the theme. A separate GridFTP server to DC is on the way too.
- Portal group meetings: dissertation work review, especially for CIMA, in 10 slides or less to impress general audience for possible collaborations (SNS at ORNL, etc.); setting priorities for projects.
- WYIN/ODI project meeting with astronomers: short presentations, getting acquainted, and background stories.
- RT-ALL strategy meeting: long
- Regular TeraGrid meetings: recoup
- Astronomy department brown bag seminar: using Data Capacitor for ODI project
- Tech Tuesday talk: preserving data objecs
- CS/PTL/UITS monthly meeting: infoshare
Progress
- Got TeraGrid account, login, tried single-sign-on, tested gridftp between DC and HPSS.
- Updated CIMA web service for Admin portlet to indicate number of movies associated with a given sample.
- Oh yeah, of course wrote this blog, using correct HTML under right editor, you think that's easy?
Miscellaneous
- Couldn't out-wait Apple on Leopard, hence went ahead and got the MBP. A beauty, and, (un)fortunately hot.
- ORNL is renewing my badge, oh the number of emails and resumes it takes.
- Made SC travel arrangement, at least that one was not bad at all.
To Do
- More testings with GridFTP, BigRed, DC, HPSS, TeraGrid credentials. What exactly is that SC portal supposed to be or do?
- Extensive CIMA failover testings, both at application and system levels. Targeted service up date is Oct. 19th.
- 10-15 minutes SC07 presentation on CIMA failover, better start thinking about slides.
- Read up on NVO before next meeting with astronomers, Tuesday Oct. 9th.
