Sorry about the lack of Clash handles, guys. I have sent in several different requests over several weeks, and haven't seen any action .

I'll continue to try every once in a while...

[Simon Loverix]

Hi, I'm Simon. Where can I get my membership card?

Right now I'm trying to get the ecology model on its feet, but I'm sure I also can help with other models.

Last year, I studied Graphic Design, but decided that it missed something. Now I'm studying History and that feels better. Alas, june will be dedicated to exams, but you can count it as research for Clash .

Free time: reading, drawing, micro-managing (369% civilized )) and doing some amateur archeology.

[Mark_Everson]

Its time to update the Team page. If you are not on the team page, and want to be, please post your info as its done on the Team Page.

Mark tells me that I have to come clean...

Gary Thomas
Email: gthomas@takaro.co.nz

Home: New Zealand, basking in the South Seas.

Occupation: full time on Clash. At other times, a Java architect and developer.

Clash tasks: code, code, code, get D5 out, code, code... Just took on the modelling in the military area. Little bit of artwork, temporary, I hope, until Fiera gets back. General sniping around the edges (rivers on square edges, that is). Push for a squareless map with microterrain. Hey, no strategy game has done it before! Teach Mark how to talk Kiwi.

Background: my oldest grandson (22 years old) says "You aren't really old, you just look it". Originally a drainlayer - got downsized. Then a commercial artist - got downsized. Market Researcher - got downsized. Was a research scientist (mathematician and statistician) for thirty odd years, got downsized. Became a contract programmer, got downsized. Is there a pattern developing here?

Got a degree in history for the hell of it.

[Gary Thomas]

To my amazement I still have a sense of humour. Mind you it increasingly leans toward Dilbert. Anyone know of any jobs for a skilled Java senior?

Cheers

[Mark_Everson]

Thanks Gary, that was a fun. I take it you want to stay near those South Seas and grandkids? My only hope would be for something in the States...

And I have to tell you that we're going through some tough times here at the Clash Project, and we may need to have to undergo some resource rationalization soon .

[Gary Thomas]

Unemployment is certainly the most enjoyable job, but the pay is lousy.

Are you serious? I wouldn't mind working in the US, but don't you have this green card thing?

Cheers

[Mark_Everson]

Yeah, true, a green card might be tough. I have to admit I'm not up on the details. But there at least were a fair number available as I understand in tech jobs where the home-grown talent ain't enough.

Of course the economy sucks here right now... But Java is still fairly hot AFAIK. I'll certainly let you know if I turn up something. You could email Joe (F_Smith) too if you're potentially interested in the States. He'd know more about the Java job market than me, and might know about green-card opportunities.

Best of Luck!

[Mark_Everson]

-- Bump --

[Mark_Everson]

Ah, the second bump took, the first one didn't move the thread to the most recent post.

Hi Caeddyn, let me be the first to welcome you to the Clash Forum .

Looking forward to seeing your code and comments on where we should be heading!
