Publications, Return to Study, A Sense of Social Life

Finished off my notes on IT Development in East Timor and my paper on citizenship, decentralisation and universal rights, both of which have been submitted to the Development Studies Bulletin for publication in a special issue on the conference. Also have finished and submitted a paper on Windows 2003 Server and Release 2 for the SAGE-AU journal.

I've reduced the number of hours I'm working because, in all honesty, I need the time more than the money. People keep giving me contracts however, with another three this week alone. I have to pick a Wiki for a local council. At the moment I'm using the original for the trial. Any preferred models?

As part of this venture I've decided to have another crack at getting a CCNA by enrolling at NMIT. This is, of course, on top of my list of unfinished projects, not helped by my decision to keep on working as convenor of Labor for Refugees and to rejoin the SAGE-AU executive.

Went out drinking last night with the crew from 2600.au, [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya and new gamer pal, Andrei, who has kindly let me HeroQuest which seems a lot better than the first edition, Hero Wars. Other gaming goes well, with the pbem group finally reaching Borobudur after encountering Hanuman on the way.

Indeed. Note that they don't have features a lot of corporate users ask for ("make it so the unauthorised can't see these pages even exist") because the features in question don't help Wikimedia. (Apart from being stupid and ill-conceived.) The software is fully-featured out of the box, but extra features or tweaking features can be difficult at times ;-) I suggest you beta test with it ASAP.

OK, I'll get on to that tomorrow.

As for the corporate question (yes, I get that as well), it is, of course, not very difficult to set up a password protected directory. Not that such a particular ability has anything to do with a wiki per se, but such subtleties are probably lost on corporate sponsors...
