B-day Blues

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Sorry for the infrequent updates…I’ve been busy at work, trying to get a release out.

I’ve got a new version of my wow-armory WP Plugin up. This should fix the problem with the show/hide options, as well as a typo.

I’ve also been working hard on a new, WoW-related website.  It’s almost ready to show off… I have a few more features I want to finalize, and then some testing.

Here’s a small preview of things to come:

I don’t know when I’ll be ready for real users, but I’ll post here when I am.

Rebuild

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Yes, I know that I haven’t posted anything worthwhile in a long time… I’ve been busy.

I fully intend to start adding some relevent posts sometime in the near future.  In an effort to give me  a little push in that direction, I’ve changed themes, cleaned up some of the existing content, and tried to make things a little nicer around here.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep up with posting again…

‘Slightly’ Busy

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

The last few days at work have been… for lack of a better term, wearing.

In order to provide our clients with a way to make informed, intelligent decisions, I had to spend all day, every day, for the last 5 days doing nothing but printing out statements, using slightly different criteria, and compiling a list of how it works.

So I haven’t had a chance to do much else.

Now that the task is finally finished, I can think about other things (I hope).

The PbP Campaign is slowly solidifying.  I actually have a few of the characters ready to go.  Unfortunately, we seem to be back down to just 3 players, so I’m looking for 1 or 2 more.  I only know of two people who might be interested, but one of them has been even more busy than me lately, and the other does not really have any interest in 4E… so it leaves me in a bit of a spot.  Well, hopefully it can be resolved before too long.

Patch 3.0.2 hits today, and it’s being downloaded at home right now.  Hopefully, when I get home tonight, I’ll be able to go out and tame a new, awesome, exotic pet.  As well as start collecting achievements.  Sweet.

Update, Part 2

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Well, taking my last post into consideration, I decided to do some major housekeeping around here.

I removed all posts pertaining to the TARGEngine, and removed several other posts that were no longer relevant to anything, or were just me whining about whatever.  All told, I ended up disabling 45 posts.  I also spent a great deal of time reorganizing my categories.  I think there’s still a lot of work left to do to make them really work the way I would like, but it’s a step in the right direction.

D&D Stuff

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I had been trying to run a D&D campaign for many months now (actually, probably close to 2 years), and over the last couple of months, the game has sort of grown stagnant, and dried up – because everyone always has stuff going on, and life is too busy, mostly.  I’ve been trying to get the game back on track, but it’s been very difficult to do – whenever one person is able to make it, someone else can’t, and vice-versa.  Since it’s a small group of players (just 3 players, plus me, the DM, and one of the players lives with me), we can’t really play if one of the people can’t make it, so I’ve been feeling more and more like we just weren’t going to be able to finish up the campaign.

Magics.

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I finished reading The Last Guardian last night – I flew through the book in a matter of hours, possibly because I happen to be a fan of Jeff Grubb… and it might be because of another arguably insane magic user he wrote about…

Space Game Update

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

So, it only took me about a day to finish writing down my plans for my Space Game – although, I do want to proofread, re-read, and triple check everything to make sure it sounds good, and I still need to make some more mock-ups for the other cards.  I really like  how it all turned out.  It just seemed to flow together effortlessly, and I’m really happy with it.  So, here are a few of the mock-up cards I made for it:
