On the Passing of Neal Peart

The Upcoming Year
Until a few decades ago, attendance at chapel was mandatory for all cadets at West Point.

Latency
(To the tune of Yesterday, With apologies to all four Beatles and most sys admins)
Latency
It’s the signature of HPC
that is why it’s running endlessly
your process gates on Latency
This one, well
is embarrassingly parallel
that is why its running fast as hell
the render farm works just as well
Why’s it running slow
don’t you know the bottleneck
demands for some commands
will dictate your architect ect ecture
Here’s the scoop
This one’s nothing more than data soup
that you’re running through an endless loop
You probably should try Hadoop
(This might be the only one I tag as both Lyrics and Networking)
Our Man Behind the Bar
(For my Brother Bill, on his Birthday)
Now shut your mouths and mind your ears my story has begun
about our man behind the bar good William Joseph Young
He’ll Flip the bottle, tell a joke and then he’ll fill your glass
And if you’ve mind to misbehave he’ll set you on your ass
Home on LeGrange
(To the tune of “Home on the Range” in case you hadn’t guessed)
Oh give me a place
Up in near outer space
Where a rocket will surely convey
A space station to sit
In a stable orbit
One that will never decay
Home, Home on LeGrange
At the junction of gravity’s range
A space station can sit
In a stable orbit
One that will never decay
Jessie’s Pants
(to the tune of Jessie’s Girl. Yes, that old tune by Rick Springfield. I’m old and watched too much MTV back when it still played videos. Based on real events.)
