Welcome. You at LANL will see toys us elder geeks only dream of.
As for the writing, choose something, write it up, and send it to the site. All they can do is say no and, having met the boss, he's likely to give you tips on how to make it better.

Ahh, interesting. What sort of things is the HPC Division at LANL doing these days? I worked on an early massively parallel system (ACPMAPS, at Fermilab around 20 years ago).

Alright then, what would you rather fight? 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

LANL = One of the two labs that built & still manage Instant Sunshine devices. No idea if she's in that program (and she better not say), but in any lab like this there's strict boundaries into what you're allowed to know and what you're forbidden to know. Of course, speaking nothing about what you know is Rule #1. Dad was military with tangential associations to Instant Sunshine, so I get this.

There's this dorky guy around here...Waco? lol Yea -- well he and I are getting married next month -- CHEERS! So if you know him...I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Basic Background for me...
Yup -- I'm female, deal with it.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer working as a Systems Engineer at Los Alamos National Lab for their High Performance Computing Division (FANCY!!! -- no)
I also review computer hardware on the side -- nothing too fancy, just write for overclockersclub.com (wanted to write for TR, but I'm probably not good enough)
So yea -- questions? Ask away, looks like it should be fun getting to know some of you fools.

I wish my "homework" was amenable to crowd-sourcing.

A gerbil that can get women to not only like him, but to join the fourm?
You two GOTTA make it to the TR BBQ ~X~.
Waco, she cared enough to not only say "yes," but even joined the forums. She is special and you must show her off to us, if for no other reason then to make sure it isn't just you with two accounts
Welcome to the forum
