WordPress weirdness

Just tried to post an entry with a bunch of pics in it, and man did it ever screw up my blog page!  LOL – oh well, I guess WP still has some kinks to work out!  We’re talking all of the menus and sidebars missing, images from the post missing, everything on the page centered, really odd line breaks between postings, strange bulleted list behavior, all kinds of craziness! I noticed some weirdness the other day too where it was converting my quotes and some other special characters (like slashes … Continue reading

Month at a glance…

July was pretty much a month of the doldrums as far as gaming is concerned.  I skilled up some new stuff in EVE Online and peeked in on WAR a few times, played a few rounds of BattleForge, and that’s about it.  A friend of mine keeps trying to convince me to come back to LOTRO and another is wondering if I’d like to check out Conan again, and I’m not really interested in either of those.   A couple of new games are on the horizon, but I don’t think … Continue reading

It was a slow weekend…

…for gaming at least.  With the visit up to Utah, I did have pretty decent internet service via my cell phone, but I really didn’t have time for any gaming.  Just did a little facebooking and browsing the net.  Family took up the balance of the time.  I did keep my training queues up and running for my EVE toons, and that’s about it on the computing front. Wilhelm posted an interesting topic last week about AFK missioning in drone boats and that got me thinking about the same thing.  As … Continue reading

The Demise of Mythic

Since the announcement that Electronic Arts is  merging Mythic and BioWare, I can’t help but feel like a longtime friend (Mythic) has died a less than honorable death. With the ousting of DAoC’s General Manager (and lead designer of DAoC) Mark Jacobs – the end of an era has been irrevokably marked.  Now BioWare has been put in charge of EA’s new RPG/MMO Group, even though BioWare has never produced an “E-Ticket” MMO.  Is the writing on the wall? Clearly. I’ve been a Mythic fan ever since joining Dark Age of Camelot back … Continue reading

In Home Server Farm

So I’ve been thinking about this a bit, but not too seriously.  I’ve already got a webserver in my house that is a host for three websites. They don’t really do anything yet, I’m just kind of squatting on the domains for now.  But now I’m thinking I’d like a media server so I can store music and movies and junk for easy access. And maybe add an application server to the list so I can delete games and other junk off of my main machine, but reinstall it later without having … Continue reading
