Classified Garden Gnomes
A short time ago my dad brought a 3GB thumbnail drive back from the car dealership he was working at. Seems it was lying there when someone took it for a test drive and then forgot it. So he brought to me after no one came to claim it. It had been lying here for a month or two now, so I decided to go and have a look at its contents, perhaps hoping to find the owner's contact numbers. So I plugged it in and had a look.
Contents indeed. Not only was there no contact numbers, but there were files that mentioned stuff like "tank divisions" and "ration supplies" amongst the expected Games folders and personal letters. I opened the files, and there was: RESTRICTED. This thumbdrive belonged to someone who was in the army, and I'm guessing he was brass too!
Now I'm sitting with this thumbdrive, wondering whether I should just wipe the whole thing clean and claim it for myself. After all, these small keyholder drives are not cheap.
In other news, I'm still enjoying Voyage Century Online and the Half-Life Orange Box. Right now its Episode 2 as I try and go for the Little Rocket Man achievement. For those of you who don't know, this involves me lugging around a little garden gnome with a bright red, pointy hat from the start of the game all the way to a rocket near the end of the game and putting him inside prior to launching it into space. A pretty challenging one, especially when you finally get the car. The darn gnome refuses to stay in the vehicle, devenstrating himself whenever you turn slightly or even go over 5 kph, forcing you to go and pick up the little (censored). And don't even get me started when you have to do these exact same things only with an attack chopper shooting at you. >
