Hi Abby, welcome aboard  :  )
Diggers & Dreamers have a link to our Homeworld section here:
http://neurohackers.com/index.php/en/me … troduction

You should also be able to see more Homeworld material (so complain to me if you can't)  :  )
I'm one of the crew here and also run one of the Homeworld embassies (UK).

All info about what HW is doing is in the Homeworld Forums which you should also be able to see.

We are currently in 'The Bay' which is, if you know Babylon 5 (or have ever visited a space station) the area where most of us first arrive. There is a site map here:
http://neurohackers.com/index.php/en/me … es?start=2
in the newbies section (where you can also meet some of us and hear our reasons for being here)

The Bay is a bit like a large bar where all meet & mingle from wherever we came. I have put some info about Dopamine for you in 'The Lab'; the place where we talk about such stuff, hope its helpful. Anything HW related is usually discussed in Homeworld forums.

I leave you with the traditional Gamers' greeting: Good luck & have fun!
Best,
AR



Feel free to explore the site, there are lots more places as you go along.

Hi Scalino, you've startled me jumping out of the march bushes like that! ^_^

About the media, I hope my excerpts bring little bs in. I've tried to be careful in that regard as I'm aware even the best shows seem to include them, sometimes it is such a contrast from the theme of the crew/actors/writers that I can't help to wonder if it was planted there on purpose by some nefarious interest . Please tell me when I fail to notice something serious and sorry if I've already did. :'(

  Abby, pay no attention to me, consider me the drunkard at the corner of the village, .. Well, at least they've quarantined me at the bar of the station =)
  [I'm probably bugged after all : ( But I've been working on it for the last few years* and I think I've improved my "kung-fu" : )]

Let me wish you un bon voyage, a farewell and a expedient return home \o/

Since we're now on the theme of Camelot, Scal, allow me to add another important reminder, especially to those who like myself may ideal (or have done so one day) to some sort of Camelot round table (though I believe rule 8 does prime us to forget all this from time to time, no? ): Even the best warriors may struggle a little on some aspects which, for others, may seem trivial while maybe doing better at what others may not find so trivial, as everyone is different. I believe this to be a good thing, so we can teach and learn from each other and complement each other as we go along, until we can play on equal footing on the diverse skills. Dunno if I phrase it correctly?

There is a long tradition of this by the way, ever since the origins of chivalry literature, check this MOOC out:

  Although I must admit, I'm currently not much of a fan of classes on fiction, literature and poetry. (I've got a real page turner here about convexity analysis by Stephen Boyd) Not that I don't like it, on the contrary, (or I'd be stuck in N5 if im not mistaken right?) but as i mentioned above, i'm actually burdened with artistic purpose (granted, still does not rule out possible frontloading we'll see about that some other time). Although I do tend to get a little impatient, I believe it's more due to wanting to go back and generate my own art rather than "wrong use/loss in translation", I may end up checking what I would do differently from the author (i'd still not call that analysing, as it's more playful than that) than actually enjoying it. After I go through most of my stuff, if I'm still alive by then that is (as it may take a very long time, even if regenerative medicine comes by in time), then I believe I'll be more receptive to study where I could have done better (for instance), so my interest on these sort of classes should increase =) But maybe some of you guys are already on that stage and may enjoy it more (should I place the link on the "Open Source Watch" thread?)

Sorry, I digressed a bit about my personal interests ... There is a new session of that class coming up next month: July 14, if anyone shares that interest though.

Anyway, there is a small caveat, if "nobody ever makes the first jump" then wouldn't falling on purpose likely avoid one being confused with neo or even morpheus? ;-) (which could be just as unpleasant?) not to mention learning to rise again, faster? Something we all must? (or would this be just a rationalization (or would this be just a meta-rationalization (...)?)?)

*ah morpheus, always insisting on the burden of proof... ^_^

Regards,
A2A


PS.: What happens if one's "originality" is 'originality'? =)

PS2.: I wonder what the Marshall would come up with in our digital age ^_^
