Warboid World
Just got a letter from Peter giving me his blessings to resurrect Warboid World under an open source license. It looks like the license for the server-engine may end up being QPL. I expect the clients for playing the game will be under whatever license their authors choose.

No, QPL isn't my favourite license, but it does serve the important purpose of allowing the original author(s) the ability to spin-off closed-source variants. There's also nothing to say we can't do a TrollTech later on and go from QPL to QPL/GPL.

Tim's Party
Tim from work had his 21st yesterday, and made an open invition to all the office if people wanted to come. Most fun I've had in a group for a long time, the night really kicked off well.

We went to a place called the "Glow Bar", which had the most (or possibly second-most) amazing toilets I had seen -- pretty much everything (the washbasins, the hand-dryer, the urinal) was a mirror, which certainly made bathroom ettique interesting. It's a shame that rcp wasn't there, I'm sure he would have loved it.

I left that a somewhat reasonable time, aware of me having to work the next day. Kat came to work with a hangover, and Dan didn't arrive at all. All up, a fantastic night was had by all.

Growing things
Wow, I knew that radishes grew quickly, but I'm still very impressed by my collection of them. It's been about a month and they're already of a quite edible size.

Melbourne Cup
To some people, it's a horse race. For myself and many others, it's a day off work. Spent the day cycling around Melbourne -- Merri Creek to Darebin Creek (REALLY pretty in spots) and then to the Yarra River. Collected a bunch of wild garlic that the recent rains had washed up, and got to meditate on a rock in the middle of the Darebin creek. Wonderful day, I'm still feeling good about it.
