Amen! I hated trying to get out of town to start questing only to be killed 7 or 8 times on the way and wasting the first 20-30m of my gametime.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Heroes Season 2
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Is it just me, of did the second season of Heroes finish in a way that made the Writers’ Strike of last year… really evident? It felt really anticlimactic.
The wife and I need to watch all the extras on the S2 DVDs now. Hopefully, the extras will add a little more richness to the way the season ended?
Patch dread
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Leading up to last Tuesday (October 14), I’d been splitting World of Warcraft time between my desktop and my laptop. Yes, there are times that I like to sit out in the living room w/ the wife and play WoW while she watches Dancing with the Stars. Well, in the week or so previous to the day Blizzard released the gigantic patch1, I’d noticed just how much data the background downloader was going to end up pulling down. I began to dread doing it once for my desktop and then again for the laptop.
I discovered yesterday that there was no need to dread. Apparently, when WoW gets installed, there are no registry entries created or custom dlls written to system folders. WoW lives in a folder that can be conveniently copied to another computer – creating an up-to-date install! There is much rejoicing. I did not want to sit through another 3.0.2 download.
1 – WoW patch 3.0.2 was over 1.2 Gigabytes!
WP Plugin ‘Live Update’?
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Holy cow. Leave the Wordpress world for a few years and the features just seem amazing. Apparently, the latest version (or perhaps one a few releases earlier) notifies you when you have a plugin that is out of date and will allow you to update it from w/in the admin interface. No more tracking down the plugin author’s website, downloading, unzipping, uploading to your server, and configuring.
Perfect.
Back in action!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008It feels good to finally have a self-hosted install of Wordpress going again. Gone are the days of lechoso.com and foobish.org of years past [no links as they're not active domains].
I’ve returned to domain ownership / blog runnership simply out of a desire to get some of my old web work online in some portfolio form. I’m in the middle of a job hunt and have been encountering too many applications that I have to skip as I’ve got no previous work that clients still have online. Here’s hoping the portfolio build process goes quickly and smoothly. I’ve got a job to get!
