RPG Review, Work and eResearch Conference, US roundup

Whilst I was hoping to have RPG Review out this Monday, I fell sick late last week which knocked a couple of days off my planned schedule. Just as well it was advertised with the ambigious "late September". As it is I'm just finishing the final pages and layout and as opposed to the advertised 48 pages, it looks like the first issue will be a fairly massive 64 pages - and a fair bit of the second issue is already done! Perhaps, just perhaps, it is indeed well about time that something like RPG Review was released. Despite illness I managed to work in several story threads for Sunday's RuneQuest game for the second scenario of Shadows on the Borderland.

Not for the first time my workplace has indicated that they are more than pleased with my abilities. After receiving a "not insubstantial" pay rise recently, I have also been told that work will pay for the $2K+ tuition fees of a Certificate IV in Training and Assesment. VPAC does more than a fair bit of training and I've had a fair bit to do with writing the basic training manual and tutorials for the partnership. On another work related topic much of this coming week will be dedicated to preparing a presentation to the eResearch Australasia 2008 conference.

Everything you need to know about the US election in one comprehensive post. The United States and Pakistan on the edge of war against each other. No surprise to regular readers of this journal; cheap credit and land speculation runs riot - and then stops with an incredible crunch: Tectonic Shift on Wall Street as Lehman Fails, Merrill Sold. How long have I been ringing this warning bell?!

Hey, that's the great thing about quarterly publication... couple days late? No problemo! :)

Hope you're feeling better; and if there's anything you need a hand with, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.


Don't forget, kids!: REMEMBER THE MAINE! VOTE MCCAIN!

Well when you're carrying ENC points in sashes and medals you're at a disadvantage in the first place.

Yeah, a couple of days ain't so bad, especially when it's 25% bigger.

Hey thanks for the RSS feed too... When the announce goes out I'll include notification. Awesome stuff.

Love the Orcus picture btw..
