Shihli's job and such
Shihli — Thu, 07/10/2008 - 12:38
So I got a little promotion of sorts at work - I'm no longer a "junior" process engineer, but rather an "associate" process engineer.
I've also been offered an opportunity to do some on-site work at a local refinery which I believe I will be taking. While this shouldn't affect my raid availability at all (as I should be working the same hours, now I just have a commute), I figured I'd make a post about it. The refinery's about a half-hour away, so my evening commute may or may not make me late for raids. I don't anticipate this will affect my ability to raid or my raid attendance in the future.
Just figured I'd put the word out there.
Account Hacked :(

Well. It looks like I will be staying Resto for a while (not that I planned on respeccing anytime soon). I logged in this morning and found that a bunch of my gear was missing. I have logged into two of my 4 70's and have so far counted 42 pieces of gear missing not to mention spent badges and gold.
They did leave me with most of my resto set intact and all my pvp gear on Desteran which is good. Although I am missing a Totem and cloak out of my resto set now. I ran virus scan and spybot but any and have opened an ingame ticket as well as emailed account admins at blizzard and, or course, changed my passworkd. Anybody that has any experience with this, please to let me know. How long will I have to wait for my gear to get restored? Do they need a full list of all missing items or will they be able to figure that out for themselves? Are there any other precautions I can take to insure this does not happen again?
Damn it and thanks ahead of time.
Gares down, but not out

So I have received a few e-mails about my disappearance from WoW. I did not leave, I did not quit. My computer is still down. I was dumb and did not clean the motherboard fan and it twisted in such a way that dropped garreth's jaw to the floor. I will try to be back when I can.
If you wish to chat, I can be found on IRC. . .sometimes; depending how busy work is on a given day.

Travels in Turkey Part Deux

Dear Blog,
Round two. For the last 4 days I've been in the town of Kaman, which doesn't have internet access of any kind, or anything else that remotely resembles civilization. We stayed at a hydroelectric dam power plant thing in the dorms, and had rooms with actual beds.
The work was about the normal. The area we were in looks very very similar to the Tri-Cities area where I grew up, so I was at home. It was very dry *FINALLY!* and the wind was up. I think I burned off all the minor freckles on my nose.
The highlight of the week was making team names for our groups. Our team was Team Blitzball, and we worked closely in conjunction with Team Chocobo Fan Club. There are 3 of us that pal around together and talk video games and zombie preparation readiness and WoW together. Life can be beautiful.
The rest of the week will be spent making maps on mylar and plotting points and writing a description of things that need to be described before I get to rest on Sunday.
The people are good. The Horde Character still wants to know what to re-roll on our server. She and I debate the merits of WoW ALL the time. I'm creating a post on the Geology of WoW, so that will have to be posted soon.
Only one person annoys the crap out of me, so I think that's a plus.
Eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and I've finally stopped throwing up. I think *knock on wood* I may be healthy.
The children follow me around still, and now I'm getting more shouts of "I Love You!" when I greet them with "Merhaba," or hello in Turkish. There are market's here, but I haven't heard anyone call them a souk yet. We barter all the time.
