Our new web site went public about 20 minutes ago.

Ok…my last post REALLY was supposed to have a lot more content than “I don’t get comments,” and it wasn’t intended to be a cry for attention.  I just didn’t have time to post more.

But thanks anyway.  🙂

So, umm.  Yeah.  Hi everyone.  I’m still here.  Kinda.  I guess.  I post so infrequently these days that I’m starting to wonder if a lot of folks out there in LJ land have filtered me off their reading lists.  I mean, when I do make one of my rare two line posts I hardly even get comments anymore.  Le sigh.  Of course, I could always just fish for comments by making some kind of reference to being horny or something.

We all know that long content is boring and sex gets comments. 

But my sister bitches at me when I don’t post for long periods of time, and I think my Mom gets annoyed with me for the same reason.  Which…is really kind of odd and disturbing in a way, and pretty much guarantees that my days of public posts about getting my freak on are done.

The new web site…

Ok…I got that far at around 9:15 AM this morning.  It is now 11:40, and I’ve been busy ever since.  I figured I’d have some time to write between tasks today, but that is not proving to be the case so I’m finishing this now.

One week until we leave for Dragon*Con.  I really, really need this.

Woke up around 10:30 AM.  Kind of shuffled out to my computer, screwed around for a bit while I made some coffee, then I started working on our new web site.  I stopped around 2:15, did some exercise and took a shower, then went over to Tampa for a Gorey Stories callback.  Got home around 6:30, grabbed a quick bite, and started coding again.

It’s now 1:00 AM.  I have been beating my head against the desk for the last 2 hours because something that is working perfectly in Firefox isn’t working in Internet Explorer at all.

Why yes, you are correct in noting that it’s a Saturday.

Have I mentioned that I’m salaried?

Finished now.

Hey gang – any of you local folks have a copy of Doom 3 for the PC? My son bought it the other day, but unfortunately when he was brining it over here from his Mother’s house he dropped it in the front of the house and gouged the hell out of two of the discs. Neither one of them work now, and he cannot install the game. The cost of getting a repair kit is more than the cost of the discs themselves, and the toothpaste repair method didn’t work.

Thanks.

Edit – The torrent I had running yesterday worked fine with his key. Thanks anyway!

I mean, umm…Blizzard announces the next World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King.

So why my snarky title?  Read the FAQ and look at the trailer.  No new races.  The new class?  Once you unlock the ability to create one (by performing a series of quests at level 80) the character will start in the 60’s or 70’s.  No new lowbie or mid-game areas.  It’s all about the endgame.  Or, I should say, it’s all about adding content to get you to the new endgame.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Blizzard isn’t going to add any new mid-game content.  There may very well be new races and starting areas in a future expansion, but they aren’t going to spend any time working on the content that just gets players to the place where they are going to spend the majority of their game time. 

In some ways I think it’s kind of a bummer, because I’d love the ability to use my flying mount in Azeroth or go back and do some of the old content on Heroic mode, but I just don’t see it happening. 

Personally, I think it’s too soon for a new expansion at all and I hope this is pushed back until LATE 2008.  There’s still lots left I haven’t done in the current expansion.
