tcpipFirst week at the new job has been in many ways similar to the old job (which is good in many ways). Day one was getting ID and various forms processed appropriately, days two and three was spent at the National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources technical workshop, day four was smashing my way through hefty software installs (homomorphic encryption, number theory libraries, fast arithmetic). I'm pretty happy with the new computer that work has purchased for me, an HP Elitebook 840, something of a step up from my personal old workhorse, the Lenovo T61. After hours I've been working as best as possibly can with the swathe of planned publications.
I've talked about it for many months, so I've finally bitten the bullet to arrange for an incorporated association for the promotion and design of RPGs and simulation games; inaugural meeting Sunday week. With a core of several people we have the capacity to produce a good range of quality content within the coming year at least. Managed to get in two gaming sessions in the past couple of days; Laundry Files on Thursday night which involved a workplace safety investigation to another world inhabited by fire vampires (it's like that), and on Friday night played Eclipse Phase which involved a journey to a quarantine zone on Mars. One of the players played by a remote video connection from Vietnam (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), which was quite appropriate for the genre. Sunday will be running Skyrealms of Jorune.
