Because I have an upcoming two weeks in Perth, I've had to move ahead somewhat in my Cisco classes at NMIT. Last night I sat the final two module tests (85.7%, 94.6%) and the end of semester exam (89.2%) and have therefore passed a couple of weeks early. Onward!
Visited Kyle Schuant on Thursday, designer of the d4-d4 roleplaying system which is quite a sound publication. He has also been making some good contributions to the Mimesis RPG list, which will receive a pretty thorough upgrade over the weekend as it beginning to attract a fair bit of traffic. For the Outbreak of Heresy game, I've taken the opportunity to put up some maps for Europe in 1560, Central Europe 1547, Medieval Commerce, the Ottoman Empire (two maps), and Medieval Universities. Links via the Heresy page.
Ever thought there was something unfair, upside down and back the front with our tax system? Apparently, under this government, it is designed to reward single income families with children who earn a lot of money. How about that for ideology? For an opportunity to hear about a voluntary tax system where you only pay for what you use, come along to tonight's Prosper Australia dinner.
Bronwyn Bishop is just a regular racist who hates freedom when it doesn't comply with her point of view. Leslie Cannold is a different sort of bigot - one who thinks that the way to achieve equality is through suppressing choice. On a related note, mainly because of a dissenting figure on the Committe of Management, the Melbourne Unitarian Church is having a debate (September 18) on the recent state legislation on racial and religious vilification. Speakers include Mark Zirnsak (Uniting Church, for the legislation), Anne O'Rourke (Liberty Victoria, against the legislation) and I'll be conducting the service; with a couple of choice readings, I assure you..
Pat Robertson called fro Chavez to be assasinated. In response? Venezuela to Provide Discounted Heating Oil and Free Eye Operations to U.S. Poor, Venezuela's CITGO to Provide Cheap Gas for U.S. Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Schools, Venezuela to Completely Overhaul Its Health Care System. I so enjoy seeing "actually existing socialism" that is libertarian, democratic and functional.
Meanwhile, in the UK publishers are desperate to stop the research findings of British academics being made online for free. A case of vested interests against the public good.

(Anonymous) 2005-09-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)Chavez is a good one. It's even better than when, after Sept 11 2001 attacks on the USA, Gaddafi was the first to offer condolences, money and support:D This is an offer they'll have to accept! Humiliate the elites, help the people. Excellent! Chavez's offer is conspicuously absent on CNN and Fox so far...;)
At least the USA has some cash to spend. They were a bit stingy after the Indian Ocean tsunami, they must have been saving up for their own disaster! Interesting to see that, moments after getting ten billion from Congress, Bush asks for private donations... hmmm, domestic disaster, government _expects_ private contributions? Even the most devout gun-wielding libertarian reckons there should be public funds for disasters, but not, apparently, Dubya... part-private, part-public. But I guess after learning that the people who were shut up in the Superdome were the ones who didn't have the fare out of town, nothing should surprise us.
What a country. What we have waiting for us under "under pays," eh? "No fare out of town? Then drown, you bastard."
Cheers,
Kyle
So you've found me eh?

You're right it was Tuesday. Typo on my part.
Apart the Cubans managed to deal with the hurricane with few problems. But they have neighbourhood committees that deal with almost everything. The advantages of decentralisation.
