We Misdirect you from our normal WoW-based programming.

Hey, you guys said it was cool, so I wanted to geek out about a couple of vaguely WoW-related things that are happening in real life.

Firstly, anyone who knows anything about Hunters knows about BigRedKitty, right? Well, apparently, Mrs. BRK, his wife, is on the verge of taking a job offer in San Antonio! Now, you're probably wondering "Rilgon, you blueberry-flavored idiot, why do you care?" Well, I live in Texas, too, and somewhat close to San Antonio. (I won't reveal statistics - that's the last thing I need, getting ganked in contested territory around here IRL) I'm certain there's other Hunters in Texas, too - it's a trip being in the same state as one of your class's iconic members.

Now to a more personal level. Everyone knows about MMO-Champion, right? Good. Well... I work for the server hosting company that owns the servers that they run on. And last night, I actually did maintenance on one of their servers! Nothing major - it was simple hard drive/RAM diagnostics (Dell diags ftw) and a FSCK when they were done, but you have no idea the sheer level of WoW geek pride that was surging through my veins when I cracked open the chassis of a MMO-Champion server at my workbench for testing. That was... well, it wasn't quite as awesome as the Turbo-Charged Roflcopter of Doom, but it was close. :)

I think it was even funnier telling a coworker "Sorry, I'm busy FSCKing MMO-Champion, I'll be there in a sec."

Being a Linux server admin (in training) is awesome :D
