Upgrading…bugs.

Friday, July 16th, 2010

So I upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and now my images dont show up.

No one seems to know exactly why. Fun.

Excuse the lack of images. Will get that fixed as soon as I can. (Edit: I should say, I am going to ask the lovely, smart people at Dreamhost to fix the problem. They are my Tech-Knights in Shining Armor. /swoon)

(Edit #2, the Wordpress upgrade renamed one of my folders, which is why the pictures aren’t working. Now I need to figure out how to fix it so I dont have to go and manually fix every single image.)

(Edit #3, work around fixed. Images back up. Thanks soooo much Dreamhost techies!)

WoW Update!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Its about time for another little World of Warcraft update. And though I have been trying to keep WoW topics from overwhelming the site, I do still spend quite a lot of time playing it still and could go on and on. Thus I am consolidating all my latest news into one post.

Almost forgot to add that the Midsummer World Event began today which is the last world even that my warlock needs to complete the purple drake flying mount achievement.

Indefinite DS Month

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Last month I had the brilliant (ridiculously overambitious?) idea that I would try and review a bunch of my DS games. For some reason I didn’t find magical extra time to cram through more then a few of the games and thus DS Review month is extended, indefinitely.

I say indefinitely because I am fairly sure that by the time I get through my bag of old DS games I will have acquired more.

Actually I am rather interested in getting through some more of them as I am hoping to finally get to some better games. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to get stuck with such crappy games.

Guess I’m just a sucker for good PR. /sigh

Go figure, broken links take time…

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

So I installed a new Plugin called, Broken Link Checker. I figured it would be a good idea, for surely none of my links were broken anyway, and it can’t hurt to check, right?

Since I have installed it, I have spent more time fixing broken links then I have playing video games. Go Figure.

It would of course be fabulous if the plugin was perfect, but its not. Any sort of connection interference and it will flag perfectly good links as broken, which means I have to monitor it very closely. At this rate I might just turn it off.

So if you see a link that is crossed out, it is my handy dandy link checker at work. Is the link broken? Who knows, but clearly I haven’t gotten around to fixing it.

Upgrade time, DSi XL!!

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Left: DSi XL - Right: DS lite

It might be a sign of getting older, but I am LOVING the larger screen. Brings to mind large print books. Can’t see? Lets just make it bigger!

Okay, so I exaggerate a bit, its really just a slightly enlarged DSi. =P

Actually the whole size thing had me a little worried. The portability of the previously sized DS’s was quite convenient. I needn’t have worried, the size increase is noticeable and does mean that you can’t carry it around in your pocket, but its plenty small enough to carry without looking like you are lugging your laptop around. =P

Funny, size wise, it seems like Nintendo’s hand helds have come full circle. GameBoys of old were pretty much the same size as this lovely DSi XL. Amazing all the stuff you can pack into that size now a days – two much larger screens, camera, SD card, and wireless internetz. Only thing its missing is a GameBoy cartridge slot. Guess I will have to save one of the old DS’s just in case. =D

Changes and Bunnies in WoW, oh my!

Friday, April 9th, 2010

After having finished all the holiday event Achievements with my hunter I swore never to do them again. But the super fast flying mount reward is just so incredibly spectacular that I had get one for my warlock. (I should just ban the word ‘never’ from my vocabulary!)

Which of course means suffering through all the holiday achievements. Thankfully the current one, Noble Garden, is not so bad. It took me only one evening of play. Plus I got to run around as a bunny for most of the evening. Whatever changes they made to this event (I know lots of the holiday achievements got an overhaul at one point or another) worked wonders, because I didn’t finish it seething with anger. Nice change of pace. =)

Woes, Rants and a touch of WoW!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Its hard for me to believe that its already been over a month since my last WoW Rant. This whole moving my entire life from one house to the new one has taken up much more free time than I expected, but then most things take far longer than I expect. =P
That plus raiding four nights a week and my goal of reading one hundred books this year have left me bereft of almost all my spare time.

How do people do it??

Moved!

Monday, February 1st, 2010

All moved into our new place. Well, all of our stuff is now out of the old and in the new, but nothing has actually found its final resting place. =P

Saw this the other day, and though I don’t link things very often, it just cracked me up. Love Mortal Kombat!

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

You know that nasty illness that’s been going around and lasts forever. Well I got it. I can’t breath through my nose and I’m hacking up a lung every five minutes.

And we are moving (IRL) at the end of the month. So I’m trying desperately to pack everything but the computers and the TV and have an Internet connection set up before I move. Important stuff.

But being sick and packing dont mix well, and for some stupid reason I can’t make myself get extra sleep because I might miss a raid. Plus we got the second season of Chuck on DVD, so I really can’t convince myself to sleep.

Stupid I know.
