horngirl and alchemon second housewarming. Good conversation with some pretty intelligent people (the physics of Newton's Cradle kept us going for a while), and a damn fine feast as well. Following day was ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
caseopaya's birthday, so we went to Healesville Animal Sanctuary, organising the visit to witness the platypus presentation (according to local legend, a cross between a water rat and a black swan), followed by the Tasmanian Devil feeding. Very impressed by the nocturnal mammal collection as well. Following day, before attending an ALP quiz night planning session, purchased a Citizen Ecodrive watch for my beloved. She receives the high-tech gadgets, I still prefer the old-fashioned technologies. Yesterday ran another session of Pendragon, this time with Queen Margawse causing trouble.
Conducted a lengthy presentation this afternoon for a number the VeRSI people on the business logic of the quality management system we use. Future meetings will be held on integrating at least most of the PRINCE2 project management framework as the most appropriate initial activity, given the nature of the two organisations. The new course manuals that I wrote came in today as well; very shiny in full colour, and both of a substantial size. Initial reviews of said publication are extremely positive. Tangentially related to both my work and my studies, but with a public orientation, I have put in an application for another degree, this time a postgraduate diploma in economic policy at the University of London. I am particularly interested in public revenue from resource values and strategic investment for positive externalities (higher education, computational technologies). Anyone would think I'm trying for the top ten most educated people.
