Gaming Updates, Work Updates, Syria
Feb. 27th, 2016 11:54 pmCompleted a review of Libris Mortis this morning which has also been sent to rpg.net. Next review will Open Graves for 4th Edition. Also this evening finished adding almost thirty GURPS books to the RPG Review store. On Monday members of the RPG Review Cooperative will be going to the Astor so see a couple of genre classics; Escape from New York and The Fog. The Cooperative goes will with a bit of an advertising splash at a gaming open day this weekend
Work continues with its usual array of interesting technical challenges, including fixing a quirky bug that was putting jobs into batchhold. Subequent days were spent on bring the new HPC/Cloud online to a minimal state for the course that starts next week, of which I'm apparently making a guest lecturer appearance. In the time that remained, worked on bringing some somewhat mis- and underconfigured system units online for the Centre for Epidemiology & Biostatistics. To finish with a bit of amusement; Microsoft has developed a Linux-based networking system for its cloud computing.
Dean Sayers has written an article on the impediments to peace on the Isocracy website, as the cessation of hostilities seems to be holding on day one. This lull in the fighting is solely to let humanitarian aid get through, and by no way suggests that the warring parties are anywhere near the negotiating table yet, let alone for the possibility of genuine political reform, and Kurdish self-determination. Nevertheless, for the people who have been living under seige, having a day without air strikes after years of bombing must be a very welcome relief.
