A magical student for an ordinary teacher …

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

… literally!
I started writing notes for something that I plan on working on after Quest of Judgment. I wrote it in smaller episodes but I might work on it like some kind of book. I have about six chapters worth of notes written down since I started on it. I don’t know when I would [...]

New Cable modem

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I had a Time Warner technician come in and upgrade my modem for free.  I don’t seem to be disconnecting like there’s no tomorrow when using BitTorrent. For once, I can set my Max Connections per Torrent setting to some number larger than 10! But I wonder how long it will last?
Anyway, I got this [...]

OSX works, Ken & Roger talks, Skype blocks, and stuff …

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I finally got my Mac OSX partition to work and updated with iLife ‘08. However, it seems to have an odd habit to break whenever I install something that affects the Extensions folders– booting into the install DVD and using Disk Utility to repair permissions seems to fix it, however. But at least I don’t [...]

Now I want a REAL Mac!

Friday, August 17th, 2007

I think before the end of the year, I’ll get myself a Mac Mini … that’s assuming of course that my finances start to become stabilized. At the mean time, I’ll try to manage with this “Hackintosh” partition on this PC. Results can be quite unpredictable when it comes to updating it … unfortunately, it [...]

Makeshift 7.1 system!

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Instead of forking over a lot of money for a 7.1 surround system for my PC, I figured that I’ll try connecting Just-a-bunch-of-speakers together and see if it works. Well … I wouldn’t say it worked officially as I had 1 5.1 system and a 2.1 system lying around instead of a bunch of two-speaker [...]

I hate Math

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

I know there’s at least one guild member that reads me diary occasionally … and probably the same guy that would ask me in regards to my WoW account: “Why don’t you buy game cards? It’s cheaper.”
I wouldn’t say “cheaper” per-say … just more accessible to those without credit cards. Now, I hate Math … [...]

Guild Wars end-game content … balanced?

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

I was looking at the Guild Wars changelog just to see what I missed since I last played it and noticed this little tidbit.
Domain of Anguish
To balance the Domain of Anguish appropriately for a wider variety of players, the difficulty of this realm has been adjusted. Some of the changes apply only to Normal mode.

In [...]
