Maybe I’ve got WoW on the brain. But this looks like it’s someone in a Murloc costume. It’s by Jon Paul Kaiser and you can see this and more of his works here.

The year was 1984. Ronald Regan was the president and we worried that the world was going to blow up in a nuclear war with the U.S.S.R. At the movie theater Beverly Hills Cop, Ghost Busters and Terminator were box office hits. Airwolf was on TV and I’m still tortured by the theme song echoing in my head. Prince, which he was still known as, released Purple Rain and I had just been to my first Grateful Dead show, that summer at the Ventura county fairgrounds. I had just started high school and my fellow students were wearing RELAX shirts while the Madwannabies were out in full force. The hairspray Metal bands like Ratt, and Motley Crue, were also making their impression on the hair and clothing habits of some but lucky none seemed to mimic Poison. My fashion statement was the same, as it had been and would remain for another decade at least; concert jersey, Levi 501′s and Vans, except for a short time when unlaced hi-tops were my choice for kicks. If you were smoking in the boys room, you could get a pack of Players cigarettes for $1.00 at the gas station down the street from Monroe High School, even though I was only 15 and a pack of Funions & large Coke for less than a buck at 7-11.
My friends still couldn’t see how cool computers were. So in between skateboarding and playing guitar, I was playing computer RPG’s (Role Playing Games) by myself. Back then, (hey you kids, stay off my lawn!) there still weren’t any games you could play online with other people except some text games that were on BBS’s

But this isn’t a gossip rag and I’m not enough in the know to comment on it except that it was a real shame. It was the first guild I ever joined and was invited while I was still on a trial account. It was one of the things that influenced my decision to subscribe to WoW. Originally I had no intention at all in subscribing to WoW. But that’s another story for another evening. Chances are your reading this to hear about this RSS Feed thang I mentioned in the title.
Recently, well back in December, Blizzard added character and calendar RSS Feeds. I’ve always wanted something like this. A simple text feed of my activity. I couldn’t tell you how many times I have seen some sort of achievement flash by without catching what they were. Some nights I’ve done more than 5 so I can’t see it in recent achievement summary. And having a record of what BoP or epic drops I have won and when and where they came from. All this info is in the RSS Feed. You can see mine on the side of this blog if you scroll down a little. Their does seem to be a bug a bug and it’s a bad one. All the links are broken. At least they are on this blog and I assume it’s not the Word Press RSS feed gadget. You don’t need a website to view these. In case you are unfamiliar with RSS feeds, you can get an RSS reader or get a plugin for your browser. If you use Firefox, there is one built right into it, they are called Live Bookmarks. It would probably be a good idea to remember the WoW Armory is in Beta. So sometimes, like while I was writing this, it doesn’t work correctly. Anyway, head on over to www.wowarmory.com and log in. You will also want to check out The WoW Character Feed FAQ over at Spoon Craft. They did a real good job on the FAQ so I see no reason to write on also. Before you know it, you’ll be tracking your progress too.

Over the years I’ve been on many forums, crafted many a signature. Counting BBS’s, I’ve been posting messages, and signatures in discussion groups for 26 years. BBS’s, Bulletin Board Systems, are where forums originated. Back then we also had signatures, albeit just plain text or ansi. It’s safe to say I’ve made my share of signatures. I’m far from great at it, but now and then I surprise myself. And it’s time for me to make a new World of Warcraft signature for some forums I’m on.

It all started out innocent enough. It’s brewfest time in Azeroth (World of Warcraft) and I wanted to run the daily which involves the slaying of an elite boss. I ran it once earlier in the week so I knew it was going to take a party of level 80s. Maybe some other members of the guild I’m in would would like to do it too. Before I knew it I was asking in guild chat if anyone else wanted to do the brewfest daily. Instantly I got my first victim and he asked to be invited. Then it hit me, I’ve never been the leader of a party before, I’ve always accepted invites. I hadn’t intend on starting a party. Too late, I just invited him. But I’m not too sure about being the leader. No problem, I’ll just pass the party leader, and all responsibility, to the invitee. But he declines. So I just invited everyone who said ok. It didn’t take long to fill the party. Even our guild leader joined. For a short time I was proud of the party I had assembled. With all good players, this should be a piece of Dalarian cake.

Tags: World of Warcraft, WoWLooks like it’s time for another blog title change. And with that there is going to be another change. A change of topics is in order here. My computer help blog has really taken off. I’m getting a several thousand page views a month now over there these days. While here I haven’t even had 2 thousand ever. And that doesn’t surprise me. There are a lot more people interested in how to remove spyware and making the most of their internet experience than people who want to see videos I’ve made or listen to music I’ve made. And that’s ok. To be honest I never expected either of them to take off. The only reason PC Cybertek dot com took of like it did was because I figured out how to remove something called fast browser search. Apparently it has affected thousands of people and I’m one of the few people who has figured out how to get rid of it. That post started a huge influx of visits to PC Cybertek.
So this is my blog for the other things in my life, besides computers. And right now, most of my non work time has been taken playing World of Warcraft. And if it wasn’t bad enough before……
So I finally hit level 80 a bit over a week ago. It took almost a year to the day to reach level 80. And now that I’m level 80 I’ve been really putting in lots more World of Warcraft time. So I’m gonna be posting mainly about WoW for a while since it has consumed a lot of my time.
Tags: World of Warcraft, WoWLast week I started running a lot of dungeons with pick up groups (PUGs). Until now. I have pretty well steered clear of PUGs. You hear a lot of horror stories about PUGs. The guild I joined, Burning of the Crusade, was mainly a social guild. Then one day I logged on and it had turned into a raiding guild.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated any of my blogs. I’ve got another job in the evening now, playing World of Warcraft. It’s a job that I’ve been devoted to for a while now. Unfortunatly, I’m not getting paid for it. In fact, I have to pay.
