I’m on a Roll!
Google Custom Search Engines are such a handy thing. Thinking about it some more, I decided to also write one to search through my Worthwile Reading section - which contains individual posts I share from within my Google Reader because the various bloggers who wrote them, all of them way smarter than me, had something [...]
And another Tweak to Altitis
Today is my “toying around with the blog” day. There’s a very nice WoW DB search gadget available to iGoogle, but it doesn’t seem to work in blogger yet. So for the heck of it, and because the Lootables.com logo with their search API is ugly on a white background, I just slapped together a [...]
Adding Google Gadgets to your Blogger Blog
Here’s another nifty (albeit still beta so use at your own risk and don’t blame me if your blog goes poof!) addition to Blogger: you can now add Google Gadgets to your layout.
For that, go to draft.blogger.com, and modify your Layout. There’s several new Page Elements you can try out, among which you’ll find Google [...]
Addons in Review: AuraToChat
Remember that small but nifty AddOn ErrorMonster, which would redirect UI error messages like “spell not ready” and such to whatever frame you wanted it to?
Well, from the very same author, Rabbit, comes another little but oh-so-handy AddOn of a similar purpose, AuraToChat. Its function is summed up in its name: It allows you to [...]
New Adds to the Blogroll
My Blogroll keeps growing, as a testimonial to many excellent writers out there. In no particular order:
Arcane Blaster has joined the blogging mages and adds some infrequent but insightful input to the class’ voices.
Someone: Altaholic on Wildhammer EU nowadays has a definite hunter slant, and beyond offering in-depth mathematical analysis on hunter matters, has also [...]
Cross-Realm Recruitment: An interview
Playing on my mage a bit, I was struck by an advertisement for Cross-Realm recruitment coming from the Draenor (EU) Guild The Scourge. Since it was the first time I heard one of these in-game, I pestered the advertisemer for an interview.Docmortuus, GM of The Scourge, was graceful enough to spare a bit of his [...]
Taking a Stand against Gold Selling
I have spent a couple of hours here and there leveling my wee little mage (now level 17), and since I had the absolutely brilliant idea to name that tool with the letter ‘A’, I get an average of 5-8 blind invites from level 1 warriors per hour.
Handling with the hassle of it through automation [...]
Curator Wipe and Learning to WWS
Another evening where I get an invite to replace an early leaver as soon as I log on. Curator is on the plate, it’s only half a guild run with the rest PUGs, they have wiped a couple of times, everyone is starting to feel grumpy. Steptoe has connection issues and cannot summon another late-joiner [...]
A plea to my WoW blogging peers
In order to make my life simpler, I am subscribed to most of you through google reader. First because it also allows me to integrate any new interesting writer in the blogroll, second because it allows me to tag and share something particuliarly worth reading you wrote in my worthwile reading section, third because when [...]
First Boss Down
Looks like November really is my “Firsts” month - same situation as Monday, a spot freeing up right as a log on, a summonning only moments later, and after taking out some trash, here comes Mr. Moroes. This time we had “borrowed” a guest tank who sat on about 18.8k unbuffed, and with all the [...]
Baby Steps in Kara
Last night when I finally logged on, my guild was still in Kara and, fortunately, had a slot opening for a healer, so I grabbed the consumables off my bank and joined the team on their merry way towards Opera.
It was a short venture, actually, we basically cleared a bit of the trash - Ushers, [...]
