Here is the Chronicles of Humanity halloween special!



A big departure from previous episodes, it was not made with the Sims but instead Moviestorm. This is a piece of software designed specifically to make machinima without all of the gameplay elements getting in the way and I am really pleased with the results.

The story was originally written 10 years ago (almost to the day, it was October 20th) for school. We were told to write a short horror story and at the time I was really into the Alien films. In the second film, no one believes Ripley's story about an alien that killed her crew, so I took that thought and created a story where you never get to find out if the monster is real or just in the guy's head. I'll let you decide for yourselves ;)

It's also the first time I've done 3d modelling, the corridors of the ship were created in Sketchup and then imported into Moviestorm. I had a lot of fun doing that and want to make more scifi looking pieces for future use.

Enjoy!

The Weather Company is seeking to employ enthusiastic science graduates or students to join our growing team of meteorologists.

The Weather Company is Australia’s largest private weather service and product provider. Our meteorologists provide customised, value-added weather information to a wide range of clients in a variety of industries, including energy, media, online, retail and insurance.

Reporting to the Head Meteorologist, the meteorologist position involves forecasting, production of visually spectacular weather graphics, briefings to clients and written and verbal media work.

The successful applicant will have strong written and verbal communication skills, at least second-year tertiary level Maths or Physics, proven ability to work as part of a team and a passion for the weather. It is desirable, but not necessary, for the applicant to have some meteorological background.

They will demonstrate the following attributes:

* Excellent time management
* Ability to meet tight deadlines under pressure
* A desire to communicate the weather clearly to a wide variety of audiences

The position would suit either a casual, part time or full time employee.


The casual and part time caught my eye. Would they be upset if I emailed them and asked what the minimum hours for casual and part time are, and whether it's shift work or can be fixed hours?

I'm way overqualified for what they want, but it would be nice to work in my field. And there really isn't casual or part time work out there.

But on the downside, it's further away, so more travelling time and possibly train which is an anxiety issue. And the ability to meet tight deadlines under pressure is scaring me. At least with my current job there's not a lot of pressure (apart from what I put on myself), and I can take a month off over Christmas and some time off through the year. But then I might find it really easy.

After being initially excited, the doubts are creeping in...

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!



A very well made animation. There seems to be some mystery about it's origins, it could be fan made or it could be for something official. But then some Star Wars fans tried that a few years ago too, so we'll see :)
