SC08 - Day 2

After setup yesterday, we returned to the Hotel at 2AM. I slept for 3.5 hours, and then went back to the convention center for the start of the competition. We’re having some network trouble, but not anything that would be unworkable.

Our situation is much worse than last year.

SC08 in Austin, Texas

I’m leaving my comfy abode for Austin, Texas this morning, to help the MIT team with their cluster in the SC08 Cluster Challenge. Stony Brook isn’t participating this year but a couple of months ago the MIT team contacted me about the possibility of helping this year. I’ll be taking photos and writing more as more interesting things happen: stay tuned!

Visiting Boulder, Colorado

Several hours from now I will fly out of JFK Airport, destination, Boulder, Colorado. I’m visiting Boulder for a few days courtesy of all the companies listed over at Boulder.me. A group of companies out in Boulder pooled their funds to sponsor 100 developers for an all-expenses paid visit to Boulder. I plan on exploring Boulder and meeting with all the companies listed, hopefully securing some offers for a summer internship for 2009. I have my eyes on Gnip, but a few of the other companies look interesting too.

I plan on taking plenty of pictures of beautiful Boulder, so stay tuned and watch my Flickr feed.

(There are also some rumors floating around about SC08. More on those later!)
