@Madoxen, gove me a few months and I'll see what I can do ;-)

Although the serious answer is absolutely yes, as this was 1 company, one offer, and I do know of other opportunities that for a variety of reasons I didn't follow up on. Sadly very specific skills, so unless you know about microsimulation or accessibility then it may be a struggle unfortunately.

What you mean like Microsimulation (a.k.a. microanalytic simulation) is a modelling technique that operates at the level of individual units such as persons, households, vehicles or firms. Within the model each unit is represented by a record containing a unique identifier and a set of associated attributes – e.g. a list of persons with known age, sex, marital and employment status; or a list of vehicles with known origins, destinations and operational characteristics. A set of rules (transition probabilities) are then applied to these units leading to simulated changes in state and behaviour. These rules may be deterministic (probability = 1), such as changes in tax liability resulting from changes in tax regulations, or stochastic (probability <=1), such as chance of dying, marrying, giving birth or moving within a given time period. In either case the result is an estimate of the outcomes of applying these rules, possibly over many time steps, including both total overall aggregate change and, crucially, the distributional nature of any change.

No Dont know any thing about it

About sums it up. Just need to be able to say that with enough confidence that no-one actually tries to test if you really understand it or jsut assumes you know about it

Indeed Great pubs too, I'm going to miss the pubs not that we get out to any without a playground much these days!

Really? I guess I'll add it to my list of enterprisey terms that equate to stuff done in the games industry without giving it a fancy name.

Difference between what I imagine the games industry does and what we (are supposed to do) is that so long as the mode for the games industry is predictable (or predicatbly unpredictable) then that's ok. For us then it got to be demonstrated with evidence that it not only works, but is reliable for forecasting what people will do in the future. And as a race, we're all nuts when in a car, then that's where it gets a bit tricky You're about right with some of the games industry stuff at a guess, but sadly that's the 'core' bit that we don't mess with.
