Very touched by comments left for Monte in the last entry. Thank you. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya and I buried Monte yesterday and he has an obituary. Rogue and Vagabond now have their roles to play in the cycle of life.
Have been invited to give the annual address for Prosper Australia on September 1st, and they're publishing my presentation on The Gifts of Providence and Common Wealth in their journal. Have recently received confirmation that my paper on IT Infrastructure in Community Organisations will be held at the SAGE-AU Conference on September 9. Also looks very likely that I will be giving a presentation entitled "Citizenship, Local Autonomy and Universal Rights: Prospects for Timor Leste" at Deakin University's East Timor Studies Symposium and following that, a presentation on Information Technology Development in Timor Leste at Victoria University of Technology's Cooperating With East Timor Conference.
Whilst on-topic,severina_242 and I went to an East Timorese National Day celebrations (May 20) on Friday. A good opportunity to catch up with some old Timorese friends (one of whom, Cesar, I thought was in the United States!). Discussed the periennal issues of poverty, development and politics.
Tentative steps have been arranged by yours truly to establish a peer-reviewed journal of roleplaying and simulation games based at Swinburne University and edited by Dr. Cameron Jones, at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling. BTW, I can also say that Blue Velvet is definitely re-opening.
Just returned from ALP State Conference, which had a big bun fight over branch stacking in which even the Premier has had to intervene. Not surprisingly, those who benefit from the stacks voted against any effective changes and are unwilling to compromise. The inevitable results is that the laundry will be aired in the media and the courts. Speaking of which, I'm sure everyone's read George Galloway doing politics like it should be.
