I am currently experiencing quite a run of SF roleplaying games. Last night ran a second session of Ringworld, which went reasonably well, although it's still at exploratory stages. Have particularly enjoyed a Ringworld flash file as background image and music for a few days. Also have just applied some proof-reading skills to "Savage Jorune", a short document which combines the Savage Worlds roleplaying game with the Skyrealms of Jorune science-fantasy setting. On a related topic, valedictions to Ray Bradbury, a man who helped make science fiction real literature.
Completed Project Management exam today; felt surprisingly optimistic about it (I should be after writing almost fifty pages of notes). Next week is Advanced Project Management, which is more large-scale systems engineering (it's in the scale of project management for the building of power plants and space vehicles). Still have not received results from PRINCE2 Practioner exam, which was expected today (but did receive the Foundation certificate in the mail). And the reason I am doing all this? Because I want to help build the computer systems so that scientists can make the world a better place. On thath note - congratulations Karl on your interview on AM. You're doing sterling work.
