Why does everyone who works there look cracked out, homeless, dirty or…..”special”
5 years ago while in college I worked at the montrose BK in the winter and everyone there looked more normal compared to the other. The bizarre thing is however that they are both owned by the same guy. We at the montrose store used to poke fun at the sketchy criminally staffed lane store all the time. I was even at one point during my last month of work there 4.5 years ago sent there to work the night shift a couple times a week and once I told the manager on duty to send me home before i fsckin kill one of these morons.
I was sent home and the manager apologized to me.
What set this off? Well as two of the sketchy dirt bags were goofing off it took them 15 minutes to make a whopper somehow and I asked them what the hell they were doing. They replied “What whopper?”. I threw the bag with the receipt on it at them and said “That one”.
Anyways back to the original point. I love BK, the one closest to me is sketchy so I put up with it but what brought it to mind was this kid on cash yesterday who looked like he was addicted to crack, had about 3 or 4 attempted tatoos and looked confused when I seemed to want to order food. When I managed the pizza hut across the road we didn’t have any cracked out people… Whatever. I’m moving in a week, hopefully the St kittysburg BK isn’t as sketchy.

I commute to and from work every day and most days everyone gets a seat to themselves and that’s always a plus. Every so often the bus is extra busy and you have to sit with some one and usually this is fine because as the bus vacates people move to new seats and you are once again comfortable.
However!
Twice I have been on the bus in the last 2 weeks and some knob doesn’t move once the bus vacates and keeps crowding me into my seat. there are other spaces! Go away! The first time I eventually asked them to allow me out at a stop and I moved. This second time which was yesterday the person doesn’t leave but on top of not leaving they put their bag onto the seat on the other side then eventually put their leg up on it across the aisle.
I made a point to take the middle arm rest and huffed every so often and inside my mind was going “GO AWAY. LEAVE. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE”
So remember, when you are doubled up on a bus and you are on the outside seat have the courtesy to move when a seat becomes available.

WSYE Pocket Cloud is an application for iOS which doubles as a generic RDP client and also as a VMware View Client. My personal interest in the application is for the latter as I have a View environment for work and being able to connect to it from any device on the go is quite convenient. This application used to sell for a hefty $49.99 on the app store but recently it has been on sale for $15.99 so I had to take the opportunity to purchase it before the price goes back up. Now on my iPod touch this is a wee bit impractical but my intention is to eventually have an iPad and on that device this is a very effective remote desktop tool so taking advantage of the purchase now was worth while.
What I like:
- Doubles as View client and a basic RDP client so I can connect to my work environment and other windows systems
- When connecting to a view environment it automatically asks for my RSA secureID so I don’t have to keep logging into VPN on my iPod
- Supports a staticmouse that you can drag around for better drag/drop and copy paste can be much more helpful that other clients which usually just have touch mouse interaction
- Zoom in/out support, the x can be a bitch to hit sometimes
Dislike:
- No PCoIP, RDP is great and all but PCoIP is far superior in terms of speed and bandwidth
If you use VMware View or if you just need a very good RDP client take advantage of the sale while it lasts this is a very stable and robust application.

Well I went a long time without posting to my gallery this year (8 months) but I have in fact been taking pictures! I lost the USB cable to my Blackberry so they were all just piling up in my phone so this weekend I buckled down and transferred 127 pictures from my Phone to the mac via bluetooth (it sucked hard). I selected a few to display in this post the rest can be seen under the Pictures heading on Philtopia or the main photo album via http://gallery.philtopia.com.
My apologies for the poor cellphone camera quality.

As of last Friday I now have another set of missions in game. This one as promised is for players later on in the game.
Vendetta online as far back as it has existed has always had pirates, traders and anti pirates. Always, even pre release there was the VPR guild and there were pirates hunting players in the alpha but the game really doesn’t offer any missions of either side (except trading of course) so I decided to create some.
Essentially the basic gist of this mission is you have a crappy courier mission (Special Delivery) and an unaligned person asks you to detour on your delivery, if you do you get whisked into a world of piracy (Difficult Choices) but whether you let it consume you or whether at the last moment you realize what you are doing and change your mind is up to you in the end.
I chose to do this because as far as grey space goes an all the interesting things that go on in it it really has no official mention in the game (except a “look out n00bs itz dangerous!!!” in the tutorials). I went out of my way not to name guilds or people (because those change frequently) but to cover some very basic ideas of anti rat and rat behaviour. If you decide to be evil it will go on about how you have a great life plundering and pillaging the weak ahead, if you change your mind and turn against your former pirate allies it mentions that there are others who feel as you do in regards to rats and you should seek them out. If you are the pinnacle of boring and for some reason just take the first mission over and over and over again eventually it’s like “oh, you make a good trader, carry on”. 3 choices, 3 endings. I have also set accomplishments at the end of each spur so in the future specific anti rat/rat/trading missions based off this tree can occur.
The mission is first presented as Special Delivery in nation space. If you decide to go down the rabbit hole the rest of the missions play out as Difficult Choices in Corvus stations. Enjoy 🙂
