    Poll The Great Telemarketing Avalanche of 2016/2017

    Which is why I don't even answer my voicemail anymore. Text / whatsapp me or fuck off at this point. We've already been working on it. There's only so much clandestine bombing of Pakistan we can do.

    HAPPY CANADA DAY. RED MAPLE PATRIOTISM

    I'm all for open Canadian immigration. It's so damn hard to get anything more than a tourist visa up there.

    It's something I think about. I think I'd have to actually feel the lack of security of homelessness for it to be a big driver for me. I just need something positive to work towards. Staring down the barrel of 40 years of work is easier to do with some optimism.

    I know, I know. They even called back like 3 days later to see if I wanted the other job but I really, sincerely did not. There's just so much quit in that boy. I need to find intrinsic motivation here or else this cycle'll just keep repeating I think.

    Under a month old so not a necro I guess? I'm back into the ranks of the unemployed. Was the low man on the totem pole and they wanted to move me into a department I had no interest in so here I go again. It's all just so tiresome.

    Bard, man. Wanderer's Minuet was sacrilege to the mobility gods. Now you're left hitting 1 thing between gcd's and rushing to do even that. Bard was so chill before.

    What's SOC? And what kind of places hire for netsec? It's not in any local job listings really but I might just be looking in the wrong places. edit: Looked it up, it's a security operations center. Seems like they do netsec for various companies / agencies.

    In his OP, the old business is basically gone. They moved from PA to HI and I'm assuming closed up shop when they left.

    You say that, but eh... How does one get started on doing techy shit in general? I've seen lots of places that need DBAs (or lower-tier people) and VMware guys but I'm not super experienced with either. Done some mysql and some linux vm's but nothing on a commercial scale. edit: I should...

    Update: Got the job at Republic. The rural carrier job was hot garbage leading to nothing else really. Alls well that ends well but goddamn the post office really runs you around to offer you almost nothing. Roll off dumpsters @ SDI here I come.

    multiplicity, synergy, inputdirector ... there are quite a few virtual KBMs that can be shared across network. Inputdirector has broadcasting so that you don't even need to see the screen. Works well for box rangers / bards who only really have a few buttons if you aren't spamming nukes on the...

    Turns out it's pretty chill for the casual player. Instancing of the earlier raids with expeditions is also pretty amazing.

    I got a 2nd computer / monitor and use multiplicity to control both pretty well. Inputdirector seems to work best for broadcast keys but depending on the patch that may or may not true box you. Don't know anyone who'll admit to using VMware to box but there's a guy who's got like ~ 18 mages...

    There was an early PoP rework on pickzones. Most zones spawn picks way lower -- think it's more related to relative popularity rather than zone size now. Shady / Angry should be much quicker / easier, but yeah.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Zones that are shit (like FM) will be spawning picks at 12-18 people with the pick changes. If your guild gives the slightest fuck about your SWC you can just go pickpop a few b4 raids. Angry was spawning on pick up on phinny and I doubt it'll change for agnarr.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Kunark yes, PoP is...kinda shallow. Once you're clearing time, everything outside of time is near pointless. With the 120 AA you could bring over from Luclin there was about 2 days of leveling (or none if you corpsed) and then about 10 total AA to get. Getting to time takes about a solid day...

    It was still pretty nice, even in luclin. Attack capping a box ranger was still pretty difficult. Getting the new kunark quests in-era going to be kinda neat. Sebilite pox for days.

    Looks like network management in a Turbotax UI. Also the person who was supposed to interview me (Postmaster) wasn't even there. They were out with another carrier. Things get mixed up on 4/20 I suppose.

    fwiw, this did kind of add some charm to vanguard. the game was new enough and obscure enough (and pre wiki everything) that the resources really weren't there to look up absolutely everything. It was sorta nice until you found out what you were trying to do was bugged anyway.
