On A Rare Night When PhDing Is Not To The Fore...
...I get to update. Go me.
I almost have the entirety of TJ's kit ready for the weekend. The clothes are all ready, I have a physrep cyberdeck (sort of) and jack leads, not taking any guns and my train ticket (that I paid more for than I did to play) to Hinckley sits waiting in my wallet. However, I need something to carry my l337 hax0ring gear round in. I may see if I can borrow Emma's rucksack if she isn't using it - it's the right kind of colour to blend in with the night, and while it isn't black it's the perfect shape.
The game will be running overnight, with no sleeping facilities until time out/mission finish. Yay for bad additude on little sleep and coffee.
EDIT: If anyone knows of a way to countersink an Zboard keyset so it accepts a female minijack connector and still sits flat, let me know. I had hacksawed a mini to micro coverter in half, expecting it to be one unit unside. How surprised was I to find the sheath and the jack grips are separate entities and I now have two parts of a converter that I can't use...
And now for something completely different.
In the main window of one of the rafts of pieces of software HMRC employees have at their disposal (edited to not breach our codes of confidentiality), extra-specially important information about taxpayers is prominently displayed, including any bankruptcy they have gone through. Now, one of the forms of bankruptcy is the voluntary arrangement, where the creditors accept a proportion of the money owed over time, the taxpayer gets to keep their house and their credit rating is wiped out.
Don't worry if you've lost the plot - Bath LARPers might start to find this funny in a minute.
This important information (bankruptcy, voluntary arrangement, enforcement etc) is displayed in big red letters, so to draw attention to itself and be the first thing the viewer sees. The upshot of this is that at any one time, any number of HMRC employees across the country are being told:
TAXPAYER IS VA
I'm not sure whether its funnier that the entirety of Clan Von Angstine is strapped for cash, or scarier that they're everywhere and flanging their way out of losing their possessions.
