Wish I could have gone to talk with them (the IBM people), but just could not get away at such short notice.
Steady rain today. No thunder or lightning, but had a power outage anyway. Royal pain in the neck just to reset clocks around the house. Only two computers failed to come back up on their own.

Only a few more days of school left so that should quiet down. I am almost caught up on my lawn mowing after spending almost as much time fixing mowers as using them. I at least have part of the garden in now, having planted potatoes yesterday. It had been too soggy to get the garden tilled until a few days ago, I am still behind on getting the rest of the garden in. Gradually I will get caught up, but then I am sure something else will come along that needs doing.
I found out my Dell T7400 with dual Xeon E5410's started throwing hiccups. I had it doing MCM and HST. It would get 1 or 2 HST per day. However, it started rebooting itself apparently randomly. I know this because the BIOS forces me to press F1 to continue or it just sits there. I narrowed the problem down to the long HST units. After suspending any new work and the HST units and letting all of the remaining units finish, I let the remaining HST units run one at a time. Even with only one unit running and nothing else active, the system would crash. I changed the profile to only run SCC and it has been running flawlessly ever since. I ran Memtest on it in case it had a bad memory segment, but that ran fine with out noting any problems. I guess I will just keep HST off of that system.

No. I am not familiar enough with log files on Linux to even know what I am looking for and as long as it runs the other projects without a problem I did not want to spend the time - too busy this time of year. Thanks for the suggestion.

A big storm moved through the area this morning. We lost power a little after 8:00 AM and now finally have it back about 45 minutes ago. I spent the last three hours cleaning up the large limbs (6 to 8 in thick) (15 to 20 cm) which broke off the trees. Luckily none of them hit anything or caused any damage to buildings or vehicles. I will be busy for a while.

After looking around some more today I found another tree which had been uprooted behind one of the outbuildings. Yes, thankfully, no tornadoes. The mosquitoes have been ravenous, I think the repellent is only half effective. Anyway, back to cleanup.
Cheers
