tcpipSkyrealms of Jorune game went well on Sunday. The setting is quite impressive as a science-fantasy environment where there is an amazing surplus of intelligent species and aggressive carnivores. Probably has at least something to do with the seven moons that the planet has (which would have some very interesting effects). The game rules were a little clunky, but fairly good all told, albeit with a lot of errata. Apropos, plans for the upcoming RPG Review Cooperative goes well, with plenty of ideas being thrown about. It looks like that it will have sufficient attendees, a committee, and there's certainly interest among budding game designers to get their material out into a written form.
Speaking of such things, the foundation professor of RMIT University, Professor David Beanland, has written the forward to my Supercomputing with Linux, which will be released in epub form by the end of this week. The second book Sequential and Parallel Programming (ISBN 978-0-9943373-1-3) should be ready by that stage as well. Apropos, work goes well in the second week with some interesting software installs; associated packages for fast arithmetic, a number theory library, and homomorphic encryption. Meanwhile work advances on the new HPC with cloud bursting capability; SLURM has been chosen as the scheduler and resource manager, which will require a new set of training for current TORQUE users, with Easybuild recipes for installations.
New member of the Isocracy committee, Daye Gang, has provided an excellent article on Normalisation and Conscious Bias Correction on the Bench. As a contribution, I have also made a short 'blog post on the new Isocracy committee, and we how ended up with a member of the Liberal Party of Australia on the committee of a libertarian socialist organisation. On a related subject, I am trying to find a representative of the Bendigo mosque for the next meeting of the Victorian Secular Lobby; unlike some others who have the conceit to call themselves secular, we actually support from of and from religion.
