So, fin­ished that art­icle, on the courses being held at the UME. Could­n’t work out who I could write it for and in the end suc­cumbed to pitch­ing it to the Aus­tralian Jewish News, which should make my mother happy (hi, Mum!). They said they were inter­ested but it’s still essen­tially on spec, which means I’ve just spent two days work­ing on some­thing I may not get paid for in the end anyhow… and the pay rate is rel­at­ively low com­pared to my usual (about what you pay, dr_nic). BUT! Enough of this grip­ing! I’ve writ­ten an art­icle about peace and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment, god­dam­nit. In a war­zone. It’s what I want to be writ­ing about, right?

Man, it was nice to be writ­ing some­thing non-tech-related. 

Now, another quandary: I need read­ing mater­ial. And I can’t keep buying books, they weigh too much to cart around.And I don’t have the time or money to find stuff online to down­load. I need you all to send me eBooks you’ve already down­loaded. I’m look­ing at you, delwyn. I’ll hap­pily take any PDFs too. And scripts in devel­op­ment, patch­workkid?
