Computer games aren't written in a day

Wow - could this be my ideal computer game? CivCity: Rome.

The screenshots are promising: hardly a historically-accurate rendering of Rome's topography, but, then again, if the user is getting to build their own Rome, then why shouldn't the Colosseum, Circus Maximus and Pantheon all be right next to each other? And the renditions of each are very nice (although if they're to scale, the people in the Colosseum must be about twenty feet tall!).

Good thing it doesn't come out until the summer, really, or I could kiss goodbye to the book...

I speak from the voice of experience, having taken six years from Ph.D. to book. Get it done and dusted before you go to leeds, or kiss goodbye to having it published in time for the RAE.

And tell sir_didymus to stop distracting you!

Oh, indeed - which they wouldn't be very chuffed about!

Basically, my attitude at present is that I have slightly under 4 weeks of Easter holidays remaining, and by the time they end, it's got to be done. I'm working like a demon throughout the vacation, and when it finishes, I'm just sending in what I've got. You have to stop sometime.

Me? Distract?

Never!
