All is foggy to me
This morning brought a bank of that 30-meter visibility fog, and the “bridge from nowhere to nowhere” effect on the Monitor-Merrimac. Already, though, it’s turned clear, mild, and sunny with a cool breeze: I suddenly want to skip work tomorrow and go to Busch Gardens. Won’t, of course, but still.
Yes, “I can’t support your virtualization software at this time” means I can’t troubleshoot the apps you’re running in it, either.
I finally have the free Pirates of the Carribean MMO running correctly on my laptop. I’m likely to play it about as often as I launch Second Life – which is to say, almost never – but it’s amusing nevertheless to get “FedEx” quests* from Johnny Depp. None yet from Orlando or Kiera, but then, those are probably saved for people who actually play.
Starr went to her mom’s on Tuesday to plant the irises I retrieved. Turns out there were about two dozen, so with the other plants she’d brought, she spent most of an afternoon digging. Add that to her hospital shifts for Wednesday and today, and I’ve got a still-tired lady on my hands!
Happy WoW stuff: thanks to shrewlet, I got all the materials to finish building Mirandala’s epic quality Destruction Holo-Gogs. Among other materials necessary were 206 chunks of difficult-to-mine ore… I can only assume that a LOT of refining is done to turn that into a single pair of goggles.
Also, my polymorph quest issue was resolved while I was offline, so Mir can now turn people into pigs. Thank you, GMs! Too bad that the spell’s unavailable to my warlock, since I named her Circy.
And thank you ranchonmars for the postcard! I have too aged since the Pathfinder days, but it’s dang nice of you to say otherwise 🙂
*Game character A gives you item to take to character B, who will reward you with money, loot, XP, or often as not another FedEx quest. Perversely amusing when characters A and B are less than 20 gameworld yards from one another.

All to happy to help! Gratz on the specs!

No kidding. I got in to Norfolk Wednesday night (well, 0130 Thursday) and the last 90 minutes of my trip were foggy. At one point, I didn’t realize I was on a bridge until I was close to the end and saw a light reflected in the water between the bridges. Then, got up, and it looked like the windows in my hotel were white plastic, not clear glass. Had a meeting in the BoA building on the 21st floor. Looked out, again, looked like white plastic, and our view of the Marriott building across the way (just across the street!) was partially obscured by fog. Couldn’t see the ground.
Went down to one of the ports, couldn’t across the water to any of the others for a while. Then it cleared a bit, and there was just a visible fog bank, with cranes sticking out of it. When it finally cleared up, it was surprising how much you could see.
Friggin’ fog.
