The Altera Centauri collection has been brought up to date by Darsnan. It comprises every decent scenario he's been able to find anywhere on the web, going back over 20 years.
25 themes/skins/styles are now available to members. Check the select drop-down at the bottom-left of each page.

I know what you mean - went through the same thing. You know you should give a **** but Civ and the internet is just more interesting.
What assignments are you avoiding?
Yeah...I really should feel guilty. In fact I thought I did at one point but it turned out it was just a bit of indigestion. No joke. I've got a History assignment overdue for my Arts course, a Journalism presentation I -have- to get ready for Thursday (well, there's only 1 time to present it...) and a Plea in Mitigation for Crminal Law. Things are looking up, eh? Still it's only 1st year uni. Could be worse
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Once you get to be a graduate student you can stop being a mere codemonkey and start being a codemonkey who knows basic calculus. Conversation in which I was allowed to apply my leet math skills from a month ago:
"So, we should minimize this function of seven parameters. I suggest [insert numerical minimization scheme here]. It will be computationally intense [we're minimizing at millions of different points] but that's life..."
"Errr...isn't the function quadratic in that subset of 5 parameters?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Uh...because then we just have to solve a set of 5 coupled linear equations for those parameters, and only have to numerically minimize in a 2-d space"
I start on the 5th. We'll see how it is pretty soon.
I do know basic calculus, unless "basic" to you is more than the AP calc BC curriculum, which is fairly tame.

Basic calculus = knowing that if a function is positive quadratic in a set of x variables then the minimum can be found by solving an associated set of x linear equations.
I was laughing about the fact that 90% of the time spent on research doesn't involve any thinking at all.
90% of the time spent on almost any job doesn't involve any thinking at all.

I suggest reading Bukowski or seeing a Bukowski-movie. I saw Factotum yesterday (and today). Don't think it's showing in the us. If I'm correct Bukowski is more popular in europe - not so well liked in the us...
(Though on that I had a lot of help from the other scientists with the math, and was just left to myself doing the GUI and other non-science-intense parts.)
Scouse Git (2)La Fayette Adam SmithSolomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
