Talk Is Cheap

I am excited! I checked my battle.net page before going to bed Tuesday and BAM!! There it was. I plan on playing a werewolf on the beta since I’ll do a goblin on live. Check your account page on battle.net and see if you got an invite too!!

I’ll be in town all day Wednesday.  Who’s working Wednesday night?

As I type this, it’s Day 70 of the “Disaster in the Gulf”.  This thing has been botched by BP, congress and our President.  It’s something that never should have happened, but for so many reasons other than the obvious.  We sit and wait for the oil to make landfall on our beaches.  It’s not something we are looking forward to, but something that is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’.

It will only take a tropical storm or a hurricane to splatter oil all over everything within 2 miles of the beach (my apartment sits just under a 1/2 mile from the beach and I work on the beach).  Tropical storm Alex will most likely push oil onto our beaches, but won’t come close enough to send it airborne.  There is talk that 3 casinos that are on the water (Beau Rivage, Hard Rock and the Isle) may be shut down once the oil gets here, for safety reasons.  Is this good news for those of us that work at a different casino or will this spell doom for all the casinos?

When I left Kansas City in May 2008, I knew I would be facing hurricanes.  I knew I would never need to shovel my driveway or scrape 1/2 inch of ice off my windshield ever again.  But I didn’t know that I would be driving on roads covered with oil.  I didn’t know that I would be smelling oil every waking minute of the day.  I didn’t know that such a beautiful place still struggling to rebuild after Katrina would have oil wash up on it’s beaches.  I don’t regret leaving Kansas City and I don’t regret moving here.  But I fear that I may have to move if Biloxi is hit again with one more disaster.

Will anyone currently playing WoW be using the RealID?  I think I’ll give it a try.  The “friends of friends” being able to see your real name is a bit of a turn off.  I don’t understand why they can’t just have the option to use a username that is shown instead of forcing real name to expand their social networking aspect of it.

A new WIT from Jay.  I’m speechless.  I’m also stumped at the moment.  Fire truck outside your childhood home you burned down when you were 8 years old?  *shrug* I’m just playing the odds.

Please don’t kill me.

In case you missed it…..

Today was Jason’s day I guess.  Nothing fancy on the avatar.. just figured you might like that.  Here’s a choice of styles.. not incredibly happy with all.. but varied file sizes (all are still pretty small).  As usual, tell me if you want something different or changed or aren’t ever gonna bother using (so I can stop hosting)

this one is transparent in the middle too.

Where’s our WIT? ….

Protect yourself!  It’s not just for WoW players.. this can be used against you for any other sensitive info.  Adobe vulnerabilities aren’t generally made known through mainstream information outlets.  Here’s a heads up for you though.

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9.x, and could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash 10.1, Release Candidate 7 (available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/), does not appear to contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible. Earlier versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat, specifically version 8.x, do not appear to contain this vulnerability, either.

It’s a fast install of the plugin.. whole process of D/L to install took me about 30 seconds that was including virus scanning it.  Don’t get hacked.

I have another SC2 Beta key to give away.  Anyone else interested?  The beta is closing at the end of May for unknown period of time.  They say it will reopen several weeks before the launch on 7/27/10 though.  Let me know.
