Thank you to the #EdgeWalk at the @tourcntower.bsky.social (Andrea, Domino, Lobster), and to Paragliding San Francisco (Mike) for the amazing roller-coaster paragliding! It was a fabulous kick off 🪂 into my next decade, and I fully intend to continue growing younger every year. 😊

Mark your calendars! We have the first fully content-complete #FluxFramework tutorial at #SC26 this year. If you want to learn about graph-based scheduling—from cloud to quantum computing—and you want to have some fun, we hope to see you there! 🥳 sc26.conference-program.com/presentation...
@quantummachines.bsky.social do sites provision your interface, the FrontendServicer? We are prototyping with the #FluxFramework graph scheduler, and it occurred to me that this work might be useful for others that control that interface. Are there folks I can talk to, community meetings? Thank you!
🌊 Ocean Bed by Darlingside youtu.be/3UsuTh3g8ZY?... I wanted to dance tonight, and this was the right song. This song is about strength, and the duality of immersing in our joy while accepting that we cannot control the storms. Our acceptance mirrors the quiet stability of the deep.

🫒Olive oil update! I’ve finished 69 bottles in about 5 months, and my current favorites are La Tourangelle Smooth and Fruity (on my second tin), Finca La Barca (finishing my second bottle) and Castillo de Canena Sherry Cask (fourth bottle). 😋
One task I'd like to never do again in #HPC is debug MPI, or submit commands. I am prototyping experiments with the #Flux Secretary, an agent that receives a general job command and figures out the rest. youtu.be/PwsXIMJdsEA Credentials stay in user space and I don't need to remember MPI_OMP_* 🙌

I get obsessively interested in topics, to the point my curiosity is insatiable. It is happening with quantum computing, and here is some learning.😊 vsoch.github.io/2026/quantum... I think along with scheduling work I want to model scheduling algorithms with qiskit (and similar).
Interested in #quantum? Our converged computing team has started early work to explore integrations of Flux Framework with quantum APIs and local devices, starting in #Kubernetes! You can check out the review of the space in my short talk. 🎥 youtu.be/GScovgpIx18?...

🫒 Olive oil review! I loved this oil because it tastes like arugula. I also do a deeper dive on the polyphenol Oleocanthal, and how it is works as an anti-inflammatory and interacts with TRPA1 and COX enzymes. Enjoy! 💃 olive-oil-girl.blogspot.com/2026/05/oliv...

I am building large containers locally that have layers too large for push from my home wireless. "Ah, I'll use an instance on Google Cloud!" I thought. I tried to get *one* c4-standard-96 instance, and then c3-standard-88. Could I? Nope. I tried every zone. 😭 It is Saturday. 🙃
