tcpipFinished off my contract with Web Prophets today, leaving them with heaps of documentation on how to build critical servers without any trouble (something which any decent sysadmin should do) and fairly neat installation shell scripts. In other work news I built a fairly simple intranet webserver for InMatrix (FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and tested a fairly complex pre-existing PHP/MySQL based site.
On Thursday gave my presentation at Deakin University's East Timor symposium on Citizenship, Local Autonomy and Human Rights. James Cotton, a somewhat conservative professor of politics at UNSW and ADFA and professor of Asian Studies, ANU, seemed particularly interested. Today I give my presentation to Victoria University of Technology's East Timor conference on National Networking and IT Skills Development. Written version coming soon. I've been asked for both articles to be submitted to ANU's Development Bulletin.
I also managed to write up most of Red Friday this week with its special on computer games. This includes an article for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luciousmalfroy and most of an introductory article on how to program in C++ for games. Heh. I knew there was a reason I spent all those hours on the console. Will finish this off on Monday.
Currently reading a Traci Harding novel as a review forvaleskah1. It's a long, lightweight, half-baked historical fiction which combines a 19th century clairyvoyant and 13th century Cathar pincess and and a 21st century academic. It's almost 500pages, needs a glossary entry to tell me what mtDNA is, and is the first part of a trilogy. I love historical fiction. I'm going to hate this.
Current refugee news has received a great summary. however it will need to be updated now that Howard yields to rebels (hmmm... did Labor for Refugees have influence after all?). Indigenous Australians deserve war memorials - for defending their land - pleased to see that a policy which I pushed through ALP State Conference several years ago is getting some media! Speaking of media, apparently the Labor for Refugees rally in Victoria also received coverage in the Brisbance Courier Mail.

Date: 2005-06-18 04:38 pm (UTC)Yes. I just didn't think I needed a glossary entry to tell me that.
Maybe I'm making assumptions about the readership of Voyager press..

Date: 2005-06-19 03:32 am (UTC)Hmmm.. You may be right. After all I've spent a lot of my life arguing with "race theorists" about OOA versus MRE. So I suppose even for a social studies student I've had more exposure to mtDNA than is the norm.
Actually, something which troubles me more is that the glossary is only a few pages, mainly of some interesting esoterica (e.g., Sangreal Knighthood, Consolamentum etc), but the bood is so large. Something just doesn't strike me as right as having such a huge book with such a thin glossary on fairly deep esoterica. It's just weird.
