Sent out the first complete Red Friday for the year, which includes a review of the Australian Linux Conf 2006, Karen Overington's speech at the Ballarat Linux Install Fest, and a review of Sams' Fedora Core 4 Unleashed. On a related note, from [livejournal.com profile] squidb0i on the troubles of being a Linux distributor: "I have 22 years experience as a computer systems engineer. If you don't get CentOS off my websites, I'm contacting the FBI".

Global warming is accelerating with abnormal melting polar ice both in the Artic and in
the Antartic
. The net result? Scientists forecast metre rise in sea levels this century (the article goes on to suggest that 6m is not improbable). Damn it all, I'll be joining the Greens if this keeps up. Or, on-topic, becoming the PR person for Prosper Australia (first thing I do is fix the website).

In the wonderful world of gaming, I've completing a partial playtest for the RuneQuest II module I'm running for Retrocon: The Deceptive Demon of Daggertooth!, which I'm repeating using the upcoming Mongoose RuneQuest rules for SydCon. Today I'll be finishing off my playtester notes for Deluxe Basic Role Playing, to be published by The Chaosium later this year. In home-brew gaming, as Outbreak of Heresy is nearing a conclusion (time travel! mythological monsters) I'm taking the lessons learned from that playtest to be included in Mimesis, which is about due for another lenthy revision.

How come everyone claims ignorance on the wheat for guns scandal. Two honourable suggestions; scroll down for AWB quick guide and Memo Mr Cole: here's how to finish. Prime Minister bleats: "I am not a liar".
