Warhammer, part 2

Another Warhammer open weekend - I'm rolling a Destruction toon on Darklands right now.

Not sure how much I'll play (or how long the power will be on), but I'll post my name once I get going.

I rolled a zealot, Ulna :)

Comedy Central Jon Stewart clip and Bill-O and Obama

I don't really agree with the name of the title, at least from this segment. He wasn't that hard on him. I have seen Bill-O much worse than this.

I truly wish that the Reps would purge these folks, so I can just have people I disagree with instead of people who just make me sick to my stomach.

new computer BSOD

well, my machine is still suffering from occasional BSODs. at this point, it seems to only ever crop up while the machine is booting, just after it starts trying to load Windows. but it doesn't happen -every- time; maybe about 1 in 4. i've swapped position of my RAM (thus reseating them as well) and i've slightly backdated my vid card drivers. however, the screen flashes by so quickly that i can't capture any specifics at all on the error.

Craigslist: how cagey should I be?

Hey folks. So I'm selling my volvo. We barely need one car here in Davis, so we're selling the second to save on insurance and...um, parking. Anyway, I've posted it on Craigslist and have already gotten a couple replies. The thing is, the replies, for the most part, have all the quality of a crappy chat forum talking about celebrities. There's no hello, no introduction. Most of the emails have been along the lines of, "call (phone number) abut car or send address" and then a name.

Chrome

I just downloaded it and started using it. Have to say it does a better job of loading this page than Firefox 3. And so far (with VERY limited use) it seems tres fast. V8 developers claim 10x faster than safari and firefox, and 56x faster than ie7--though no mention made of ie8 beta.

Because I'm not a geek, I would definitely be interested in the (re)views of the hacker community out there. Is this as potentially revolutionary as some are suggesting? Is cloud computing really the future-or is that just what google hopes?

I believe this makes me a vegetarian.

Hooray! I can't wait to tell my MD next time I go to get my cholesterol checked.

Beta invites galore!

Damn, they just keep coming:

You have been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King™. Welcome!

In the beta test you’ll get an opportunity to test the first zones of the new Northrend continent, and the new levels above 70. We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more...

(Update!) National Multiple Sclerosis Society benefit bike ride

Hi again folks! I am making the call for another round of donations for the big National MS Society bike ride event next month! I'm very close to reaching my goal and I am only $2500 short as of now. I know it's within reach! If you or someone else you know can help put me over the edge (haha, like I *need* that, right?), then we can all sleep well at night :) Or something like that. Anyway, if you can donate even the smallest amount, it would be greatly appreciated! No donation is too small.
