Religion, the Common Wealth, Drupal and Games

[tcpip]

Attended Sunday's service at the Melbourne Unitarian Church, a report back from the ICUU/ANZUUA Conference, which ruffled some well-nested feathers. On a related note I am using the Church as the organisation of study for my assignment on Strategic Management, because it could certainly do with some. I didn't speak myself as I'd given the service a few week's prior and will be giving the address this coming Sunday on "Strangers, Sojourners and Common Wealth" where I'll be combining some hints on the political economy of the Torah with the Henry Review into Australia's taxation system. On a related note, I have written to the two very conservative independents, Bob Katter and Tony Crook, presenting some ideas on why they should support the proposed mining tax. I've also started engaging in (mainly) daily 'blog with brief commentary on religious issues; comments invited (indeed, other 'blogs invited, if people so desire). The Church website has finally "opened up" to be more interactive and inviting for input using the various options available in my favourite CMS; Drupal.

Which brings me to the next topic; gave a brief presentation at the Monash eResearch eXPO on Drupal for eResearchers, with at least two research teams expressing serious interest in using Drupal as a collaborative framework, with a particular interest in Drupal's capabilities to search attachments and the very handy taxonomy module. Finally, ser_pounce and hathhalla visited last weekend; apart from their always enjoyable company it provided the opportunity to play Princes of Florence, a very clever boardgame which keeps the competition tight whilst allowing plenty of levers to pull and buttons to press.

You have print module installed?

Yep, but to have columns is difficult with CSS, it needs tables.

It may be possible if I keep the form inputs for the columns separate - have players fill out all the left column first, then the right column. Possibly that way I could have the DIVs align properly with CSS.

Here's an example character-

Have a look at the printer friendly version and you can see the problem.

On the plus side, I do have my dynamic character sheet for DWAITAS working all right on the Obsidian Portal website (which earned me 6 months of Ascendent status) :)
