Tomorrow and the next day I'll be organizing a course on parallel programming with MPI. I'm happy to note that the course is fully booked. See my essay on MPI for more information. Also, my guide on MPI is available on the web (in PDF format, written in Finnish).

More and more spam -- Comment()
As predicted, there will be a record number of spam messages this month. A few weeks ago I had 184 spam messages in my spam folder. Now I have 317 messages. The folder only stores one week worth of spam, so I now get over 40 spam messages daily. Fortunately, almost all spam messages are caught by the spam filters. I have filtering both on the server side and in Mac OS X mail, and only 0-2 messages get though daily.

Guide on mathematical software -- Comment()
Recently updated guide on mathematical software is now available on the web (pdf format, written in Finnish). This guide discusses problem-solving with mathematical software such as Matlab and Mathematica. The previous update of the guide was over five years ago, so there were quite a lof of changes. I have also written reviews of Matlab 6.5 and Mathematica 4.2 on Mac OS X. I just updated the Matlab review with info on Panther, and G5 PowerMacs.
