World of Warcraft Realm Splits
Looks like Blizzard is doing some server splitting to deal with overpopulation problems on various servers. It also seems like a lot of people are upset at the idea and don’t think it’ll work. This particular set of splits seems to be a sort of test run to see what happens when they do so.…

Aaah The Burning Crusade and Rose Flavored Gum
I got to mess around in the WoW expansion today. It was pretty cool. The Draenei (I’ve been writing it “Dranei” for some reason all this time) starting area and capitol are pretty cool, unique anyway as far as the rest of the game is concerned. Hopefully I can get a few screen shots posted by…

Stuff and WoW Expansions
Well, today’s the day! I was in last night when The Burning Crusade went live in Europe, they said it was stable. I think I logged out about 20 minutes after it went live in the US. No resets or anything that I could tell. I’m pretty sure the server will be overloaded with thousands…

WoW World Events
Well it looks like my ‘prophecy’ will come true. There are a lot of news articles about server resets on Tuesday when the Burning Crusade comes out. So I’m betting a lot of the more heavily populated servers will be down for the better part of the day. Also I’ve heard rumors that you’ll have…

Raids
Well I promised Jonathan I’d do a Scholomance run with him last night in WoW. We got a few guild members to join us, including our guild leader Icebanshee. Of course we’re on Kirin Tor server, guild is Hallowed Arcana and is currently the second or third largest active Horde side guild on the server. …

Headsets, cars, 64 bit operating systems and other stuff
I finally broke down and got a headset for my computer today. Communicating in WoW is somewhat difficult without a good microphone and Ventrilo, or Skype. Apparently hearing himself talk got my brother in-law all confused and he was slurring so bad he sounded drunk. Like, really really really drunk. Got a Logitech one that…

World of Warcraft Gold Buying
With the expansion to World of Warcraft coming out in about two weeks I decided to go back to the game for a while. A couple of months anyway, to check out the expansion and have something I enjoy doing after a long day of job hunting and programming. For those of you who know…

Random Ramblings
I hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend. For me having Christmas on the weekends usually makes things easier around here. Those that work in normal non-mail sorting jobs have almost a week off and generally hang about here. That’s usually pretty nice. It was a lot more relaxed then it has been in the past.…

Regular Stuff…
Been kind of an interesting two weeks. I’ve been committing a lot of time towards my backup application. Fortunately it works very well but I decided that comma delimited files are too primitive for configuration settings and take too much code to work with or to add on to. So I’m converting to XML. I…

Someone Explain This To Me….
Can someone explain to me why Dish Network does all sorts of charity work for Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans and yet treats their loyal customers so poorly? I mean they’ll basically just give you free stuff if your house gets blown away by a tropical storm, but if you’ve been a good loyal customer for…
