A local jewellery store is carrying a (unauthorised) 9K gold replica of the One Ring, for about US$110. I checked the inscription, and found that it said:

One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to rule them all

(a) my university gym is "closed indefinitely for repairs", and has been for over a ( Read more... )

Meet Indra, a hunk o' lion I drew as a character portrait for FurryMUCK. The image was hand-drawn, then scanned and rendered on Corel Photo-Paint 12. I've been told the Lens Flare feature is over-used for CG art, but I find it highly appropriate in this case!

I finally had my Viva Voce on Tuesday 13/9, the last official procedure for earning a PhD. Details differ from place to place, consisting of a tough oral exam in some, and a pleasant half-hour presentation (as in my case) in others.

The session included a Powerpoint slide-show, and an overview of my research. I'd already experienced a "practice ( Read more... )
