One of the last Legacy quests in Galaxies is one called "Working for the Government". You pick this quest up from Gallura Handerin in Corellia as part of the Lt. Jasper series of quests.
The first part of this is "check the government drop boxes". You have to find 7 of the 10 drop boxes in Coronet on Correllia and check them. For the life of me I couldn't find any of the drop boxes anywhere, nor could I find any entries on the web about this quest. Having found some of the drop boxes I thought I would blog their locations. You'll find 3 boxes in front of the Guild Halls, one in front of the Cloning center, one around the banking and bazaar terminals and couple more in other place.
Waypoints for the ones I found are :
-10,-4446
-86,-4617
-126,-4698
-179,-4386
-215,-4342
-239,-4398
-479,-4492
If anyone finds the other 3, please post them in a comment.
A later part of this same quest is to find a missing courier. As it turns out he's dead and you're actually looking for a human corpse (-194,-4242) over by the large Guild Hall in Coronet.
Hope that helps someone out, as post I've found for other quests have helped me.

Ok - So first of my addictions - Star Wars Galaxies or SWG for short!
A friend of mine, Brandon (Arctic in SWG), persuaded me to try a trial of SWG back in January when his account of old was reinstated. I have to say that to start with I wasn't convinced, because I had been playing World of Warcraft at the time, but now I'm addicted!!!
SWG is a pay to play game, but at less than £10 a month its not exactly breaking the bank, plus you can buy SWG and all the expansions (less the latest expansion) from PC World for about a tenner!
At over 3 years old the graphics are superb, the vastness of the game is almost incomprehensible (there are 8 planets in Galaxies as well as open space to fly around in!!) and there is always something you can be doing, from the new "Legacy" quests to grinding (it means repeating quests to increase experience and level up a character) on varactyl on Kashyyyyk or simply setting up your own home and house on an island on Corellia.
Its way too much fun! Try it for yourself!

Who knows!!??!!
I'm probably going to talk about my job hunting, web development stuff like CFML (my webdev language of choice), Javascript and AJAX (something I've recently been introduced to), gaming (current addictions include Star Wars Galaxies and Day of Defeat Source) and any other junk I come up with.

So... Its been 20 months since I started out self-employed all on my own (
http://www.moretticonsulting.net/) and I came to a decision last week.....
This self-employed life is not the life for me. I've had enough of being on my own all the time. I need to be back working as part of a team. I need to be leaving the house in the morning, going to an office, seeing people, working with people and then coming back to my
home.
What brought this on? Basically I've been feeling that I wasn't enjoying the development work any more. However, 2 weeks working on site with a bunch of guys and gals at
rawnet made me realise that its not the work its the environment thats been getting me down and that I actually still really enjoy developing applications and learning new technologies.
I've started looking for jobs in the Newcastle area, starting by searching jobsite.co.uk, which led me to
Concept Personnel. Concept are a small relatively new Creative/New Media recruitment agency, based out of Design Works in Gateshead. I saw a couple of interesting looking posts on their site and gave them a ring to find out some more. The ladies spoke to at Concept gave me some great advice for updating my CV and have been very encouraging. They have been extremely positive about the Web Development job market and confident that I will be able to get a position fairly quickly. So if you're looking for New Media type positions in and around Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North of England, I can heartly recommend you talk to the ladies at Concept Personnel.
