    I never knew my career was so interesting

    Based on a meeting this morning I had to go look up the visa requirements for India in case I need to make a site visit. Turns out there is a special category I fit into in order to get a visa. Information Security is within the group that is mostly weapons systems engineers. It is listed right next to "directed energy weapons design".

    Cool, I'm an evil scientist.

    Evil Overlord Rule 23: I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.

          Remember the eternal rule - evil scientists always lose.

          Beware - the vat of boiling acid you create for others will prove to be your curse !

              I fit into that category too, or at least I used to in a former job.
