Current events: have a 14K word document I have to proof read in Tetum (those Irish are crazy). Foolishly told the translation service I'd have it finished in two days. caseopaya and I saw the magnificant Pan's Labyrinth the other night which was quite stunning on the big screen. Plodding away through other projects.

News from the tech side; how to combine Ohm's Law and dating. Tesla-coil experiments in the great aussie backyard (certainly something for decrypt_era). There's also a tesla-coil car, which may remind frou_frou of a long-unfulfilled plan.

Religion is always a rich source of silliness. The theory of evolution is a Jewish conspiracy (thanks to meleah). Someone tried to claim playing Dungeons & Dragons as a religion.

Speaking of which, I recently purchased all the remaining stock of RuneQuest3 items from Military Simulations and eight archive boxes of games has just arrived from Queenland. That makes roughly 35 boxes worth of games all told. I think I'm about reading to start my online gaming and publishing store.

LUV-ctte meeting this evening; I managed to get much of the organising for the Ballarat Linux Conference successfully complete within the first week. On-topic, Debian Sarge is playing nice. Which Vista do you want (from reddragdiva).

A Girl friend sent me the "Ohm's law of dating" link and used it to try and convince me that a polygymous relationship was A oh Kay.

Tesla, darling, tesla....and that car pic is very cool. Pity Darling never got to fulfil that dream. Just wouldn't work as well with the beamer.

Which vista?

I ordered RQ3 stuff from Mil Sims yesterday - I wonder what that means.

That D&D link was great. Found this at the bottom of it, thought it was funny.

Pan's Labyrinth was all kinds of awesome. Given that I'd had no prior knowledge of it, I incorrectly assumed it was something vaguely like Labyrinth, of David Bowie fame. Fairly quickly disabused of that notion. ;)

Intense, but very good. And very, very gorgeous.

Online store

Hi Lev,

I might be able to assist with the online store, if you need help (I know you're more than capable of doing it all on your own). There might also be some opportunities for cross-promotion, if you're into that sort of thing. Let me know. I'd be happy to help!

And people think it's weird that I consider it one of my goals in life to never set foot in Texas. It's like: "Don't mess with Texas!" "Dude, nobody wants to."
