Mine's a computational modelling project, looking at the local environmental impact of underground coal gasification. It's a combination of rock mechanics and fluid mechanics modelling. I'm about two and a half years into the four year project and starting to look forward to it being over!
Mine was on computational algorithms to make mobile 3D laser scanning systems more viable for the then-limited processing systems. Of course, now you can pretty much do my thesis on a single chip, and most mobile laser scanning systems come with them, but you have to start somewhere, right?
Awesome! I'm not lettered in any significant way myself but work with a lot of professors and am currently negotiating the union contract for the University.
And all of that sounds like fascinating work. Is there any positive environment for academic jobs in Australia, Lena? It's rough in Canada and I hear it's getting downright impossible in the US.
I'm feeling left behind here xD Currently working on my bachelor mechanical engineering... On the other hand I don't have any plans for a master or a phd. As a side job I am doing some research but nothing as sophisticated as you guys ^^
I never had any plans to do any more studying after my degree (Chemical Engineering), but ended up doing this anyway (not entirely because I couldn't get a real job, but that certainly helped...)
Hey I'm computerless from this evening until Saturday so expect few if any updates after this afternoon.
Sorry for the silence. We had 8" of snow dumped on us, and NC isn't exactly prepared for that. No power for 36 hours.
Where's that, Vlad?
It's common knowledge that Australia is two metres from the surface of the sun.
I'm up in northern Canada. Well, not very far north on a map, but north of all the major cities. So we'll see -40C occasionally. The coldest I've ever seen is -53.
I just wish it would rain.
It's in between here the Netherlands... A lot of rain sometimes bordering on snow. We had some 'cold' days this winter but -40 is way away for us here... It's slowly turning to spring right now.
We've got pretty much the same here in England. 2 days of bright (if cold) sunshine, then one of persistent drizzle, rinse and repeat.
When I lived in the Netherlands for a year it snowed properly for the first time in Limburg for like a decade.
I'll update the game in a few horus. Work calls!
My, what an international crew we have here.
Yep! That said, I think New Zealand has one on top of a mountain or something.
It's been 65-70 degrees (18-21 centigrade) during the day here. Unusually warm for the San Fransisco area this time of year. Looking like another year of drought :(
I'll be in San Francisco for work in June. What's the weather like that time of year? I'm pale skinned and have red hair, so will I be needing factor 50 sunscreen or factor 1,000,000?
Stay indoors. Try not to go outside. If you do, wear a wet rag over your mouth to filter out the smoke from the massive fires that always strike California in the summer time. Oh, and don't forget to have fun!
Lol... I have the same problem ^^ Although I don't burn that quickly anymore :) I also have great sunblocker ;P
The sun doesn't burn me. I burn the sun :P
I have not really looked yet, but if there is a PFS chronicle for book one would you be willing to fill one out for me GM Spiderbeard?
Sure!
You can find the link to download them on the Additional Resources page. Just scroll down to the Carrion Crown section and there should be a link. It also comes with the rules and a list of what sections we need to finish in order to get the chronicle.
Sure!
I'd also like one!
If I'm eligible, which I think I should be as I've played the entire book, here's the info of the character I'd like to give the sheet:
Name: Miyako_Okori
PFS#: 115025-6
Faction: The Exchange
She's my haunted oracle, so it fits to give the 'Harrowstone sheet' to her :)
I've not played the whole game :S Is it possible for me?
You can get credit by chapter, and so since you've finished chapter one you can certainly get credit for that! I don't have access to a printer until Monday and so I'll do chronicle sheets for anyone who wants 'em in the game.
Any update on the chronicle sheets? :)
Crap! Uh, totally forgot to print those off. I'll get on it.
And I totally forgot to post my character here!
Name: Boderus Flower
PFS#: 131682-3
Faction: Sovereign court
Don't worry, in will step Dr Drabardi with his almighty wisdom of... 8.
I currently don't have the time, but I'll post again tomorrow!
Where did I leave my one sided die?
...It's been a long day.

I remember a joke from the old TSR days of Ad&d
One of the roleplay researchers at TSR announces that they have discovered the one sided dice, and explains what a technical achievement it is. He goes on to talk about the many hours of work and the expense. When asked what would you use it for he replied
That's up to marketing.
Okay, I've put an entry in my work calendar to write up the damn chronicle sheet.
The TSR joke sounds like every engineer I've ever met.
Hmmm yes I can relate to that xD
It's not a hassle :D I'm just forgetful. And that joke is also awesome.

When my friends and I first heard it, we actually tried to reason out what it looked like. We came up with a marble. In which case you could use it as a paper weight, or to play marbles I guess. Or, if it was black, it could be used as a sphere of annihilation. Something i have never seen a figure for.
Okay, as you all may be able to tell I actually haven't done PFS game mastering before, but sheets are almost filled out.
Sheets are pretty much done. Two questions - Kawrock, do I need to know your character/#/faction or can I just give you a direct link ot the sheet?
Secondly, what do I put for gp for an adventure path? It's not stated in the PFS guide for Carrion Crown.
And game update will be later today!
I am going on vacation for the rest of the week, and I may or may not have internet. Proceed as if I am here.
