I’ve just been informed that my paper for CCGRID06 has been accepted, which I’m very pleased about. It’s my first paper acceptance in my 14 months of being based as a PhD at Cardiff University so really its about time I got some ideas out in the open to people. It’s also based in Singapore, and I’ve never left Europe – yeah it’s two days, but I’m chuffed nonetheless.The ironic thing is I was a bit annoyed last year at the fact CCGRID05 was in Cardiff. I suppose its better this way round.

My day was brightened lots yesterday when my my PhD supervisor informed me he had a blog on the subject of grid computing. It was intended for members of our research group to contribute to and discuss things. The most amusing part was, being cutting edge and all, you’d expect it to be a bustling hive of activity. What I actually found was a site with two posts covering the last 2 years. Yup, that’ll about do it.
