Travels, Publications and Policies

It was [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya's birthday today. Gave her a "home made" ticket which provides the bearer an all-expenses paid holiday to Yogyakarta, Bali and Komodo Island within the next 90 days. You might think I like her or something. Naturally enough, I'm going as well. In a completely different direction, in the very near future I am heading off to Dunedin for a few days to investigate purchasing some of the fine old buildings they have down there. Will need to set up a ANZ bank account in NZ etc.

Handed in the first draft of a new book for Iron Crown Enterprises. As it has already been announced by the system editor, I'm giving away no secrets by saying it's Rolemaster Cryadon, basically a synthesis of the HARP Cryadon book and Rolemaster Express. RPG Review is late as a result, but will be sent out within the next twenty-four hours.

The Australian Senate is seeking public comment on climate policy. I have made a (too) brief submission. Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] angel80's words on the recent spat between the Minister and the Department of Defense, I wrote to the former that he abolish his own department (and why not?). On Sunday attended the Unitarian service; guest speaker was John Stone from the Australasian Centre for the Governance & Management of Urban Transport (GAMUT) at Melbourne University. Now on the organising committe for a public forum on the subject; will be arguing for "free and public" mass transit.
