Aside from some of the grammar errors this article was very intersting. I’m suprised how to politics are changing so fast over this issue.

Utilities

July 26, 2006

Here are some nifty extensions I downloaded today for mozilla firefox.

Answers is a quick dictionary that allows you to know the definition of a word just by simply highlighting and alt clicking it.

Adblock is self-explanatory

Gmail manager notifies me when I have new messages in my gmail account which is very convienent, and all I have to do to go to my account is select the option by right clicking it.

DowloadThemAll is a noticeably faster download accelerator without the risk of adaware which is very usefull.

I would recommend all of these plugins if you don’t already have them

I also found the best site today while I was googling a problem I had with my computer it is called BLEEPINGCOMPUTER.com and it has a great support forum for computer issues.

The MMO stronghold

June 16, 2006

MMOs have a strange way of always coming back into your life. Its almost a predisposition, I have somewhat of an addictive “generation curse” as my mother calls it, and instead of being addicted to drugs and getting baked every tuesday, I am addicted to video games, in particular mmorpgs. I have played several and the one that keeps coming back to me since freshman year 3 years ago is World of Warcraft. On one server I have two level 40s but normal mode was dull and I basically spent a large portion of a summer binging on WoW to get those two level 40s. Recently during this last year I made a gnome rogue that is currently level 16 I believe. My friend told me about how he decided to get back into WoW again and even though he is in on a different server I decided to give it another go again. Its just a good thing I dont let these games encroach on my social life anymore like I used to, so hopefully I will be able to keep a healthy balance between WoW, friends and my other summer activities. Right now I am currently updating all the patches. I will update this post later with my server and charecter name.
