    Working in Area 51 as an engineer is an exiting job. Of course, we get our hands on many fine technologies places I can not publicly discuss. As if that is not exiting enough, once in awhile, I get the chance to change out of our roles of engineers into that of diplomat. We get visitors from strange places. Aliens, some say. I can neither confirm or deny those rumours, but I can tell that they are Cute (or Qt, as they like to call it). We work sort of like ambassadors both ways, and that in itself is very rewarding work. But sometimes, just sometimes, they leave us some of their latest toys to play around with, and that, I can share here in public...

    Or... to make a long story short: Trolls, thank you very much for the package with very nice Ambassador and DevNet goodies!

              folks been there, trust me, Area 51 is spooky! ... u have no choice ... once you are in, get out of it as soon as you possibly can ... else you might just vanish into some mysterious invisible labs from which no one ever comes back!

              :o

                Yes, I have observed that people tend to go mad there. Some even start building death rays (where their true nature as engineers comes to the surface again, really)

                      But believe me Andre! Your are not alone - there is something out there in the Area51 that wants to soak you into the lab! Watch out!
