That’s a little fast for my tastes; I had even opted-out of rest bonus experience for the last few weeks. I didn’t play every day, nor always for long stretches, but I wouldn’t have minded if it had taken me until May or so to reach this point.
Still, there’s still lots and lots of content left to do, and a good thing, too, since getting my faster griffon mount is going to take a lot of money.
I’m sure all my geek fans (OK, my one geek fan) have already bought this in softcover, but I just found out that everyone can get the hardcover version of the Koboldnomicon previously only available to contributors.
The subtle background on the cover shows up quite nicely in hardcover and, of course, it can serve as a family heirloom for generations to come.
I didn’t see this until after Valentine’s Day, but it’s still a cute parody of the De Beers diamond ads. Magical socketed gems being placed into items is a new addition to World of Warcraft with the Burning Crusade expansion.
Inexplicably, Wired doesn’t have the links to the plug-ins in the article, but they still have a new list of the best Firefox plug-ins.
I’m always amazed that people don’t customize Firefox more, since it’s so easy and so powerful. Forget how complicated it is to futz with Windows or other programs, Firefox just requires clicking on a button or two and you’re off and running.
John Dvorak’s prescription for the industry: “A newspaper is supposed to be about news. It’s not supposed to be about features, these long-winded features about hemlines or something that’s got nothing to do with anything. … If you’re going to bore the public to death with the product and wonder why the circulation is down, look within.”
But apparently not to your hemline.
In related news, all of the Freedom Communication papers are going to be getting new Web sites in the next few months (so yes, this means a new, new Daily Press Web site). I’m not quite sure what the end result will be, but it sounds like the new Hesperia Star site will be of a destination site than it is currently, which is all to the good. First up will be a big Web-only feature about Hesperia hemlines.
Almost two months to the day after the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion came out, I got my main World of Warcraft character to level 70.
