This Drupal thingy won't let me upload this gif, so to bypass that, here's a blog.

Thought it'd be interesting to combine them.

Looking for an External HD

Threerick — Sun, 08/22/2010 - 21:20

So, I'm looking into buying a 1 TB External Hard Drive and was wondering if there were any suggestions of which one to buy.  Any good reviews on any brands of externals you guys have used or have before will be great.  Some help choosing will be great, I don't feel like wasting money on buying an external and it breaking down with all my back ups in a couple of months.

Here are some that I have been looking at.

Fantom GDP1000EU GreenDrive External Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM, 16MB, eSATA, USB 2.0

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5086206&CatId=2429

This seemed to be a fairly solid one that I found at Tigerdirect.  It's fairly cheap and seems to have some decent reviews.

Western Digital WDBAAF0010HBK My Book Essential External Hard Drive - 1TB, USB 2.0

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5255816&CatId=2421 

This was originally my first pick but it seems that they had some poor reviews off the bat so i'm rethinking about this one. 

 

If anyone has used any of these products or any other ones and feel like they want to share their experience with them, then that would be amazing.

Sigh

Felsteel — Mon, 08/09/2010 - 05:44

Well this really sucks. Just as the 70 raid is starting, I have to quit playing. I'll be out of the game for some time due to money. As soon as things get back to normal, I'll be back. Good luck guys. I'll be in touch, hit me on here or on SC2.

Guild Meetup: Collective Stupidity

garreth — Sun, 08/01/2010 - 17:50

What Saja and I have had to deal with the last 3 weeks has reinforced something WoW has taught me these last few years: You can only please some of the people some of the time.

To recap: For this year's guild meetup we have a fee of $35 to attend, covering the costs of 2 full days of activiites. This covers the cost of things like:

  1. The provisions for the first party
  2. Reservation fees for the park on Saturday
  3. The copious quantities of food at the park on Saturday
  4. The provisions for the party Saturday night
  5. Gas money to help out the people who ended up playing taxi for 3 straight days
  6. A guild t-shirt since that was the NUMBER ONE THING REQUESTED AS PART OF LAST YEAR'S MEETUP
  7. This seems pretty fair and we worked hard to get an accurate estimate for the cost. Since the cost is quite variable (shirt cost goes down per number printed, keg per-capita cost lowers with more people etc, park reservation goes UP stepwise with more people, gas goes up with more people) this is actually on the low side.

    I'd also like to fill you all in a big "secret" about last year's meetup: The VAST majority of the costs were footed by about 3 people. We're talking HUNDREDS of dollars donated EACH. The cute little donate jar? It covered a bit of food and a couple six packs of beer. EVERYTHING else was because of a few generous people. We won't have that luxury this year, thus the cost must be spread fairly and evenly this time around.

    That brings me to the subject of fairness. Fairness is paying your part, evenly. Fairness isn't bitching about finally having to play your part.

    Don't want a t-shirt? After having the majority of people complain that the shirts weren't ready last year, we thought we'd pitch them in as part of the cost. Apparently, the extra $15 for the shirt is the sticking point for some people. In the spirit of flexibility, if you don't want a shirt, just paypal $20 to my email account (bloomcb AT gmail dot com, the account that is handling all this aggregation of funds)

    I understand that things are tough for some folks and that some people are nearly hitchiking to be able to make it. I, too, feel your pain for I am one of you. Leave the t-shirt off and do the $20 fee mentioned above.

    Now, here's where I lose my shit. A couple of folks have decided that because they donated a six pack last year - and that magically made everything happen - it's OUTRAGEOUS that they be required to pay more than this. Some have gone so far as to accuse me of fraud, overcharging on purpose.

    I have one response to this:

    FUNDA

    If you'd like to manage and plan and schedule this, design the tshirts and haggle a good deal with a local printer, build the ecommerce interface to the website to manage payments (with a paper trail), buy the entire list of food and beverages and work out the sleeping arrangements I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO FORWARD YOU THE BALANCE OF ALL THE PAYMENTS SO THAT YOU CAN MANAGE THIS MEETUP YOURSELF AS WELL AS NEXT YEAR'S.

    Please, be my fucking guest.

Who's playing SC2?

Kwondre — Tue, 07/27/2010 - 10:02

While a comeback to WoW is likely not in the cards for me...given numerous factors including my life completely falling apart and cracking from the seams over the past few months (/drama)...I think I will be partaking in some SC2 fun.


So, who's playing?

Help for the noobishness?

Virgill — Sun, 07/25/2010 - 18:12

I was wondering if i could get some people to help me out in ICC. I have only gotten up to Prof. Putricide and i need to go beyond that to the other bosses of ICC. I have read up on strats and all that but i need hands on experience. I do not feel that it is fair to bog down one of the already made raids, and further more I would feel like i am being carried if I joined one of those.

So what I am asking is if some knowledgable people would be willing to get locked to an ICC 10man in a sort of progression run for myself. I would be tanking since that is what I am applying as anyways. I already have one healer willing to help me so another healer, tank, and dps would be needed.

I am asking all of you because I know a lot of you can be patient, and as all progression runs, patience is needed. If anyone would like to help please let me know what time and day would work.

Thanks all
