QQ Moar!

I've decided that I should blog about my WoW life as well. Maybe like once a week or so I can throw an update up here. It'll give me something to blog about, when there is nothing else.

I'm going to be leaving my guild soon on my main character. I've decided that I'm never going to get anywhere if I stay. I belong to Decay on the Greymane server. They are a very good guild, and the guild leader is good at tanking and managing groups. The problem lies within the fact that there is a lot of favoritism in the guild. I'm not just speaking for myself, but other new people are being chosen over older members to join in on Ulduar runs. We don't even do Naxx 25 anymore, even though some people in the guild could use the gear. I had a chance at getting T7.5 shoulders and they got passed to another mage, because he was someones best friend. I found that out after talking to a couple of officers who left not long after the incident. They had been arguing that I deserved the shoulders. BTW, that mage is now full T7.5, and currently getting Ulduar gear. I hardly get to run anymore, and so many people are starting to leave the guild. 25 mans are out of the question, and they really only have their 10 man Ulduar group. I am now the only mage left, other than the one best friend. They will not cycle people in either to help out. I'm going to join another guild that will have experiences players, on a more social scale. Hopefully with the experience comes maturity, but also a comfortable place to be while I play. In joining the new guild I hope to also grow with them, as I have experienced before that it is great to grow with a guild.

I also have to call out wolverine on the chromaggus server, you suck balls. I was playing on my DK named tohaku. Yes my DK shares the same name as my mage. So anyways, wolverine, kept fckn with me while I was questing. I'll find you again, and I'll get kill you when I do. I will kill you, and corpse camp you. And I will not leave you alone for the longest time. I'll follow you on my mount, and get you when your fighting a boss....like you did me. Stalkerish, yes, but I love payback.

The light in my window

i would look up to you
my guiding star
you would light my window
when the world was dark

shadows appear, across my face
as if a disease
vines take your place
day by day
they swallow your light
vines of doubt and confusion
i try to fight

how i long for the sun
my world in ice,
a battle not won
my life to pay the price

1...2...3
you again i will hold
one by one,
i drive away the cold

now i close my eyes

Donkey Kong High Score

Some of you may remember the classic donkey, which is way different than the donkey kong today. In the old one, donkey kong was the evil one, that mario would have to save the princess from. Well so far the highest score in this donkey kong, is 1,050,200. That's a lot of points. This year, Steve Wiebe tried his hand at beating that title and failed. It took place at this years E3 convention, amongst many set backs. His highest score out 4 attempts, was 989,400 points. This is lower than his 1,000,200 points scored last year at the open e commerce convention. It's to bad he didn't win it, the prize was going to be 10,001 dollars in quarters. Now that's a lot of quarters!!

Map of USA Nuke Sites

I read this in my email this morning. Basically the US drew up a 256 pg document, detailing where all of the Nuke sites, as well as materials for those nukes, are stored. They were drawing up the report for a UN group, aimed at making sure no country is going to secretly try and develop stuff. The document, although not classified, was put up on the government printing office website after being submitted to congress for review. It was taken down right after the NY Times got wind of it, and called to enquir for more. Some say it's just a mistake and that it's not a breath in security. Others say that this is putting highly sensitive US information out there for anyone wanting that information. I agree with the later that it's not very good to have all of our missle silos and storage facilities on display over the web. As most people know, as soon as it hits the web, it is there to stay. You can always find it on some sites cache, or some other site who nagged it before it was taken down. Isn't it in the movies where we see terrorists go for nuclear materials and then investigators say it must be someone on this inside, because it's a highly secret location. Well now all they have to do is google it. <--ik some of you just loaded google up and tried.... didn't cha ;)

moving to a new address

So anyone who reads this may notice something different within the next 3 days. My blog is now registered to it's own domain at www.smithc.net

I have made this move because I need some of the services offered with this upgrade, as well as continue my learning experience. The good news is that when this change is put into effect, I can make this site work for those using IE.

All traffic going to www.seokid.blogspot.com, will be forwarded to smithc.net. So anybody wishing to use the old address, may. Now let's just hope I take advantage of the extra tools available to my fingertips ;)

What I Think

Why do so many people have to use internet explorer, I mean come on! The browser has soooo many security flaws in it. Microsoft is good about sending out updates, and staying on top of exploits found by crackers; but why not trade your browser for something a little more forgiving that hasn't been hacked yet. The last I check, neither firefox nor google chrome had been cracked. Google chrome was hacked, but due to it being sandbox and having two layers of software needing cracking, it has yet to be breached.
IE irks me so much. It gave me problems when I used to use it, and it always picked up so much spyware. Then when it was gone off my computer, I had to convince other people ik to take it off of theirs, and then they loved me for it. I was liberating them from chains of IE, and they really saw a difference. Now when everyone ik has been converted, and IE is long off of my computer, it is back haunting me again. It formats my blog soooo crappy, and now I'm wasting my time trying to figure out a way to block anyone with an IE browser. Ik that's not smart, but I currently can't upload a separate style sheet for them, nor do I choose to change what I currently have. I wont stop teaching myself and trying to figure out how to solve this, but it's irksome.
Microsoft, I don't really care that you have this whole monopoly on the biz, but can you get your browser up on par with the rest of these out there. Your browser is the "only" browser not compatible out of all of them. I also understand that since you are the dominating power, that all crackers tend to focus all of their energy on your software, but ugh! I am still cheering for firefox to become top browser in the world, and thankfully they are starting to get there.
