This is going to be a "somewhat busy" next few days.

[tcpip]

Tomorrow night will be (by my reckoning) the second-last session of Horror on the Orient Express. By the close-of-business on Friday I'm hoping to be able to be able to start the transition plan for users for Project Trifid is nearing completion, which has been a pretty epic adventure. Saturday day will be the Annual Penguin Picnic for Linux Users of Victoria. Saturday evening is the AGM for the Victorian Secular Lobby. Sunday morning I will be giving an address on The Contribution of Unitarian-Universalists to Isocracy. Sunday afternoon will be running another session of Twilight 2000 where I have major campaign events planned for the Free City of Krakow. Sunday eveing we're going to collect a young Noisy Miner, because evidentally we don't have another animals on our house. Oh, and apparently I'm turning 45 - like I have time for that!

In the past few days I've also accepted an offer to return to Murdoch University to start a Graduate Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Education, with a plan to go on to do a Masters in Education. Also, I have taken up an offer to be a plenary speaker at the 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society in Toronto in June this year. Also delighted to meet up with cheshire this afternoon, who has kindly provided me a range of reading material including Luger's Artificial Intelligence and Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach, which I've been meaning to read for over twenty-five years. This time I don't have an excuse!

Happy Birthday! Pls keep me updated re: VSL - I'll still be in Japan so can't attend the AGM but keen to still be involved :)

Still want to be on the committee? I know we haven't done a great deal so far, but this coming year will be busier.

Happy to be a member of the committee, but think others are better suited to the more senior roles aka yourself, Nick and Andrew :)

OK, we'll play it by ear on the night..

Curious to hear what you make of Godel Escher Bach - slowly closing in on 20 years since I read it, which is unnerving!

Well enjoying it so far, and not quite what I expected.
