Meet the Modders

I spend three weeks every summer teaching a class on World War 2. My co-teacher and I started with the World situation in the 1930s leading up to the outbreak of the war in Europe in September of 1939. This summer class ended with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We use a large 4 foot by 8 foot map of the World as of September 1, 1939, and lots and lots of miniatures from Axis and Allies and other games to simulate the military units. The picture below shows the map with the units set up for late 1941. I really enjoy working with the class and the students.

Greetings, Civinator, and Thank You! for the comment. It represents a lot of work, as I update the military situation on the map with every major change. The class next year starts with December 8, 1941, so a lot of the Far Eastern areas will get Red Japanese units on them representing the massive expansion of the Japanese through May of 1942.
 
Thank you Timerover! :D

Yesterday afternoon, in the ancient greek philosophy program i am running in a few libraries :)

In the case of the second one it might have been the point when i decided to present the notion of the 'thing in itself', but arguing that the paper on the table was something specific if we only want to know few stuff about it and in a set context, but something not that specific if other questions are asked :p

(or i was drifting away to sleep)
 
I'm just back from a tiring business trip.
First, I went with my sales manager to a business trip in America (she did the commercial stuff, I did the technical part), we went to Mexico, Salvador, Panama and Argentina in 10 days. We left Sunday morning, and were back Thursday evening the week after.
I spent one day at home, and then left Saturday morning early, for the Philippines, and arrived home this Saturday at noon.

Has your head caught up to you as yet? That jet lag must be pretty nasty.
 
That does sound like a tiring business trip, Steph. All the same, it's rather cool that you've been to that many countries over that large a geographical area in the past month.

Congratulations on the book, Kyriakos! I know you've been working towards it for a long time. I found the description on the publisher's site and read a machine-translated version of it; while there are certainly machine-translation errors, with the help of having read many of your posts here I was able to follow it. The Chrysalis in particular seems to ring a bell from Off Topic.

timerover51, I notice your signature has a bit of an update. Hope that it was/will be an excellent visit!

Not really a whole lot new for me lately. Started a new job this summer, which is less interesting and less tiring but pays better than the old one... the upshot is I'm somewhat more likely to write code after work. I do enjoy its location in the center of my large-but-not-Chicago-sized city.
 
Quintillus, it was a good visit by the two of them. Wedding is next May in San Jose, then daughter getting married in August of next year. Busy year, and larger family.

The following with probably only be truly understood by those in the US. I will be 64 in a few days. I am also a life-long Chicago Cubs fan. The Cubs are back in the National League Championship Playoffs for the second time, the first being the infamous 2003 series with the Florida Marlins. I can remember the college of coaches, the collapse of 1969, and the heartbreak of 1984, plus a few more, along with numerous last-place finishes. My Dad, who died in 1993, listened to the Cubs loose the 1945 World Series, and never saw them so close again. I would love to see them make the Series and win it, before I am no longer here. For those who have never heard Steve Goodman, another die-hard Cub fan, here are a three links. He pretty much sums up how Cubs fans feel.

GO CUBS GO!!!!!!
 
I had to go to Toulouse yesterday and today. Since it's 3 hours drive (there and back), I arrange to stay for the night. But yesterday evening, my son called me on my cellphone "Dad, we have a big problem, Mom forgot here keys inside, we are locked outside".
And so I cancelled my reservation and came back home...

My travel map. 42 countries

Steph, sounds like for you, when it rains, you get a tropical deluge.

I think that I have covered 42 of the 50 US states, along with Great Britain, Newfoundland and Canada, most of the islands in the Caribbean, New Zealand (airport terminal), Australia (airport terminal and hotel), and the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.

I have made it to Hawaii, and lived in Alaska when it comes to the US.
