Have completed a brief essay for seminary on Leibniz's The Monadology. Apart from the standard monthly essays on the various world religions (about 5,000 words each) and a monthly short essay on a chapter from Felder's reconstruction of the ten commandments (yes, really), we also have a short essay on any reading from the Sacred Text's archive; my next pieces will be on The Bird Parliament and (tell me you're surprised) The Last Days of Socrates.

Spent a fair portion of the day at the IT Enables conference and will do so again tomorrow before heading to the Tutankhamun exhibition. Accessible IT, especially for public-facing matters (email, websites etc) is something that I have been an almost dogmatic advocate over many years (indeed I presented at said conference last year on such a topic (slides, notes)). Accessibility is a concern not just on a human rights level, but also on a technical level to ensure platform and device independence.

Big social gathering of the week was tenth anniversary drinks at the delightful Rendez-Vous for [livejournal.com profile] a_carnal_mink and [livejournal.com profile] kits_the_dm. Somehow [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya and I managed to get through three bottles of wine, engaging in animated conversation with many old friends from the aus.culture.gothic days. Last night's showcase event for work at ACMI was a little more civilised in comparison, although I am looking forward to seeing the Star Voyager exhibition, also at ACMI.
