As the end-of-year approaches, sociability cranks up a notch. Housewarming party for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
severina_242 and _zombiemonkey was plenty of fun. Last Monday was the end of year dinner from the ALP indigenous affairs policy committe with a couple of Yorta Yorta elders in attendance. Last night two engagements; frou_frou's Circa Vintage, where everyone was dressed to the nine's of course followed by Caroline's 21st birthday gathering.
I have overspent recently on books, but that's hardly a bad thing. A good dozen books on games and network programming are on the way from the U.S. courtesy of Amazon and hot on their heels is another twenty or so gaming books. Recently I have also managed to pick up a copy of GURPS Bunnies and Burrows, which is amusing me no end.
Current interesting work project is moving a 3,000 item database (well, a flat database) to a web-based interface with PHP and MySQL. Should be easy enough and if it works I'll start doing the same for a number of other community organisations who have libraries. I'm sure however, that someone out there in the world has done this before and there must be a pre-existing template.
There's been a lot going on in the political world in recent weeks, but I'm particularly interested in the call by Harold Pinter, who has just won the Nobel Prize, that Tony Blair be tried for war crimes. We will get these bastards one day... Howard, Bush, Blair. BTW, who else has been watching The Power of Nightmares, which makes excellent ties between the stupid politics of Islamic fundamentalism and American neo-conservatism.
