4:05:13 no-defun-allowed Good morning beach!

8:06:45 splittist Halloo

9:07:12 beach Oh, well.

9:17:57 heisig That leaves interesting programming projects as the only meaningful option :)

9:21:17 no-defun-allowed Would it be too weird to find the high performance computing group when I've only been enrolled for a week? Perhaps the trick is not to mention it.
