In a dilema

Dreamhost have “invited” me to a Virtual Private Server for a pretty impressive $10 off the base price of $15. Having a Dreahost PS means I can have long running processes. The downside: you don’t actually get a lot of memory for your $5, a mere 150MB which might be enough, unfortunately I’ve read that [...]

Geesh!

This article on the bbc news! I’m rendered speechless! Inalienable rights. Discrimination. Segregation. Rank stupidity! Chunner, chunner, chunner!

Wonderful

Traveling in on the train this morning I was listening to Green Day’s American Idiot, when I was reminded of one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. It was Spring and we were driving the horses to a ride, coming up to Buxton. It was early morning and the sun was kissing [...]

What’s that!

Ohh, I must be feeling a bit strange, a non-Warcraft Post! We got front shoes put on our old Mare this morning so’s we can take her out as a steady companion for our “competitive” horsey. Not that he’s competing at the moment, he’s on the very long road to recovery from a torn suspensory [...]

How could I not post?

Sue, my long-long time girlfriend, and, though I say so myself, pretty damn fantastic person, got her first class honors degree on Monday from the Open University. Cool or what! How could I possibly not post this on my blog?

Back in the saddle.

Back to work after almost an entire week doing horsey things. It’s been really nice not thinking about Work or Warcraft, and I had a pretty good time. Also slept too much. Back at work one and a half hours and already I’ve sworn! And in Warcraft I logged in this morning to do a [...]

Passive verses Active

Sue’s creative writing course stresses the use of active rather than passive to make a story more interesting. While browsing the backs of some books I found the phrase: “kick-ass heroines”, and I mused on it for a bit and thought that I’d have far more respect for an ass-kicking heroine than a kick-ass one.

oddity

Inspired by Sue’s Creative writing course this came to me as we drove past the statues outside the the town hall in Leeds. Sad Stone Lions faces blurred by acid tears. It’s quite rare for me to be even this poetic!

Poplar Flowersz

Heaven help me, I’ve just added a hit counter thingy to my wordpress installation and can now see I’m getting google search hits to my new Pre-karazahn gear page (see sidebar). The thing is this: searching for resto shaman is listing this page at 9th position! I only wrote it for personal reference! Eeek!

About the Munqui Tribe

Someone said in Guild chat yesterday that they had found this blog when searching for the Guild name. It occurs to me that although I mention them occasionally I’ve not actually been specific about my warcraft server anywhere. So I (and all my guilded characters) are members of the guild “Munqui Tribe“, on Darkspear-EU. The [...]
