Two, and three.

So 'Wulfa has been sick. Icky sick. Have Dammy come home from work at 10am sick. Me and Orclette bonded. Anyways that was just news for news sake. It also explains why she hasn't done an awesome wrap up story about killing Trogs while on cough syurup highs. Or some such thing. I logged in Zujoo as she and Orclette settled into bed for the night and figured I'd do some quick questing get 2-4 bubbles worth of xp and then get off. Well I did get one quest done. Then on my way back to Tabitha(the awesome) I ran into this mage doing the quest where you have her summon a demon and then you kill it. So I dotted up his summoned demon and he waved and I waved and I turn around and see a mid 30's hunter with 20% hps...and a level 41 rogue and a level 41 paladin .. killing him. Me and the mage charge. The rogue suddenly looks like a christmas tree his dot list is so shiny. I howl of terror him. The Paladin see's 3-2 odds and runs(wimp). The mage and I fi...

Last night was another GE night so: Go here for the story and writeup about how awesome I am.

This is all about the Life Tap change I heard about on the test server thing. Where lifetap goes from 528hp/mana to 15%hp/mana. I've heard this described as a nerf. To me it looks amazingly like a buff to affliction/destro and not much change to demo. Let me explain. Now for the purposes of my numbers on hps and stats I'm using a demonology Warlock I found in the armory. 566 stm 467 int. 9239 hp and 9620 mana. The only buff I see is Fel Armor. He has 7/45/9 with 2 points in improved life tap. So his life tap gives 696 mana for 528 health. Two life taps gives him 1392 mana for 1056 health. Under the new system he'll get 1731.6 mana for 1385.85 health. Which is 4.94% more mana than before. So as a Demonology lock he's getting a tiny buff. Of course... 5 min after writing this I was trying to look up an affliction lock to show how great they are going to get it and found one with 10640 hps and 8020 mana. Poor affliction lock. He's getting nerfed. But may...

So I'm fighting a cough. No other symptoms, just a tickle in the back of my throat. I HATE coughing. Upset stomach, runny nose, achy-body I can stand, but I HATE the cough. So I've been popping cough drops like they're candy. And I ran out this morning so Orclette and I headed to Wal-Mart. (BTW, carrying a 22-pound child through the store is NOT a smart idea. Use the cart, Wulfa, use the cart). We got our cough suppressants and were heading towards the checkout. And I saw it. A green happy bunny shirt with "Kiss Me I'm Irish" emblazoned on the front. Since I'm 1/4 Irish I feel I can actually wear these shirts with pride (mother's maiden name is Gallagher. Sadly, our family heritage on that side of the water is not very interesting). I don't need any more shirts. I especially don't need t-shirts from the junior department. I'm getting old, after all. But I couldn't resist happy bunny. So happy bunny came home with me and...

I was all excited this morning. Got my coffee, cereal, morning chocolate, tucked Orclette into her highchair, pacified her with a bottle (empty, she doesn't like to drink from bottles yet but she likes the bottle), and signed on to WOW. Bah Humbug! Maintenance day. I have to wait until 1 pm our time. So disappointing. Yesterday was my first-ever attempt at AH flipping and I was VERY eager to see the results. I've been reading Og for awhile I just had never had the time nor was willing to spend the gold ..... but I can't play Wulfa unless my other greenies are on with me so I have to get resourceful so she doesn't get bored. So we scanned the AH looking for red-hot deals. And I think- think -we found some. About 2-3 items of gear that was way underpriced in the silver range that normally sold for several gold and they weren't seen too much at auction and a few trade things that also were being undersold. I think I spent about a gold and a half-maybe less-and...

So I had to spend this morning doing drudge work programming. The kind where the simplest and fastest way to do something requires you to type the same line over and over and over(simplification). Basically I had 10 different files.. that needed some(not all) of their fields converted to text and then FTP'd . With no way to read the files and get a list of their fields I couldn't implement a do loop. So I had to resort to: Do until EOF ; Read record; o_Field1 = i_field1; o_Field2 = i_field2; o_Field3 = i_field3; o_Field4 = i_field4; .... o_Field100 = i_field100; write record in outgoing file; enddo ; ............but again because each file had different fields with different lengths and I had to define the outgoing files and make certain they looked the way my dear customer arbitrarily wanted them to when they were finished. So I also did a lot of: " Oh bother I need to move that column over two spaces to the left. [change one digit in program][recompile dds][recom...
