Ramble Pox

Green Pox plays tonight as far as I know. Our plan is to start on SM, do the graveyard and see how it goes. Fortunately for horde Scarlet M. is an easy walk. No overly long flights to crazy far away places. I'm really looking forwards to it.

Last night I meant to play my shaman but really I don't think I will be able to play him until wulfa is able/willing to play Beowulfa. I just really don't like leveling by myself while my wife and brothers are playing at the same time on a different server. So I instead spent the evening getting from level 15 to level 18 on Dampanza. Only two more levels to cat form. Yay!

I hear people saying in my reader feed how 'old' wow's graphics are and they compare the graphics with new games coming out. I want to laugh. WoW's graphics even on my comp with all off the settings turned all the way down(even after the video card) are still better than any of the screen shots I've seen for AoC. I'm serious. I really think that the unique art and the change from 'realistic' makes a huge difference. (ps. I'm not trying to say that AoC's graphics aren't technically better.... I just like WoW's look better)

Also I like what Rohan mentioned about this. I think I will always chose "100% of older graphics". So in 15 years when I have a comp that can actually run WoW at 100% like Dagashai has.... I'll most likely still be found trying to get to 70 for the first time and enjoying the simple but clear graphics.

I've added my shared items from my reader to my blog and I will be trying to 'share' anything and everything I enjoyed more than normal.

You will likely see a lot of XKCD.

Oh and I wanted to give a large shout out to the baby brother of mine. He recently started his very own blog at http://ishvi.blogspot.com/. This is the brother who has a level 68 paladin named .... tada Ishvi.... in Sidhe Devils. This is also the brother who insinuated that Orclette might not be cute/smart. AND the brother who said that Wulfa wasn't hot because she was married. We had a lot of fun with that last silly statement last night...as he kept digging deeper and deeper trying futilely to defend his statement to the various married guys who wanted to know why he was saying their Lady wasn't hot. I'm teasing. He's cool and an up and coming blogger/paladin tank.

Well guys I think thats it. I've got to get back to work and I've run out of things to say.

Ps.
Dumbbrother = Ishvi
Uglybrother = Moonsongdown

My third brother doesn't play wow so we don't have a disparaging name for him currently.

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Programming.

Someone enlighten me. I keep running into this idea with certain people I talk to. "Why are you charging me for this custom program? It has already been written for another bank. All of the work is already done." I've tried explaining that programs are like books. Even though you only wrote it once you charge it multiple times. I've tried explaining that custom programs are like our software product. You have to pay for YOUR copy, even though we've already written and sold copies to other people. The last person I tried to explain this to told me that I "shouldn't argue with the customer". /sigh This isn't a complex idea.
