I just ran across a VERY hilarious guide to “Stuff White people like.”
Unfortunately, the poor, poor author has apparently lived in New York City, or some other Liberal enclave, for way too long… the list should really be labeled “Stuff liberal white people like.”
Still; it’s an awesome parody-research blog.

Hmm… This post may mean I’m going to start including more political blogging, too… especially during the run up to the White House. So, I should get a couple of things out of the way- I’m American, proud of it, and conservative.
Now, then- I WILL try and make sure to label and/or hide political posts behind “more” tags, so that anyone NOT interested in the slightest won’t be “attacked” by non-wow posts. ^_-

UPDATE: Whoops, never actually linked it, did I… heh.  Well; the link’s in place up above, now.

And now, a test of my new AJAX inline post blah blah blah…

I need a hell of a lot of text to test it, so… take it away, Cicero!

Wow; apparently there’s quite the shakeout-time involved in having adsense ads on a WoW-related site… I go through and block one set of WoW goldfarmers, only to have a whole new set show up… block them, and hey- another set!

/sigh

Eh; I’m sure I’ll eventually manage to block ‘em… right before they all change domains, and I have to do it all over again.

Well; Catch the spoon is hosting this edition of the Carnival, and has posted a quick and dirty version; my kind of post!

Hmm… Before I accidentally deleted it before it was sent, I had a post all about how I was thinking about switching over to Wordpress MU… but after having fought with it, and tried slogging through the rather unhelpful WP-MU forums…
Yeah; I’ll live with updating several dozen blogs one by one, rather than doing battle with the damnable WP-MU plugin options… Hardcoding in adsense/analytics code, enabling plugins manually for each and every blog, or else making them globally available and dealing with the phone calls from my… not-so-tech inclined… users. /sigh.
Eh; I’ll live with the manual, one-by-one upgrades.

Well; I guess the good news is I’m TOTALLY going to be posting regularly…
the bad news is that I’m realizing that I’m REALLY getting into my blog. So much so that, when I’m checking a customer’s site to see if the issue they’re having is our servers, or their code, that I’m tempted (not to the point that I’d do it, of course) to add my feedburner headline widget to their site, or just toss a link to my blog on there somewhere… both LOL and >.<
…
and now for some random rambling.
Since when has LOL transformed from “laughing out loud” to an adjective? It it just me? Hrm…

As everyone else has mentioned, Rawr has been updated for kitties, too! I love tanking, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes, you just wanna tear into someone’s rear.
…
Ok, that sounded a bit differently in my head than it does “on paper.”
Bah- you know what I meant.
Anyway; there are a couple of surprising items you can glean from Tossk’s DPS Gear Method page; it seems that, for kitties anyway, Strength=Agility, in terms of upping DPS. All kinds of interesting math on that there page, a-yup.

Hrm.
I’m realizing that a goodly portion of why I’m not posting is that, every time I open this page, I see another thing that I want to change, or another thing I want to add, and get totally distracted…
Right now, the color scheme is driving me nuts. It’s CLOSE, but not quite right… and I can’t find a premade that fits.
So, I’m having to try and learn how to code the template myself, so as to get the colors, fonts, etc. all just right; the problem is, I have no idea what I’m doing, and I can’t seem to find any tutorials that actually teach what I want- there are plenty on how to cut up an HTML site- great, but I don’t have one to cut up, and don’t remember about 99/100 of the HTML coding I ever learned… so I’d have to re-learn HTML before I can go learn CSS, so I can put together, etc., etc.
/sigh
You know what I’d like? A simple, straightforward tutorial. “These statements set the font/color in your main page. These statements set the font/olor on etc. These statements set your backgrounds, these are for layout, here’s a quick sample commented out so you can gain some understanding.”
Hmm… If I ever get this figured out, I think I’ll look at putting one together myself…
Bah.

Damn you, Nyhm! DAMN YOU! Nyhm, of Mad Cow Studios, is an evil genious. Hard Like Heroic, Ni Hao (A Gold Farmers Story)… he’s got other songs, but those two have been on permanent-repeat on my MP3 player this morning… Damn you, Nyhm! So… Good!

Warning! This post has little to nothing to do with WoW, so if you don’t give a rats’s ass about my life outside WoW… keep moving, buster! If you are a bit of a voyeur, or just really like me for some odd reason… or actually know me… well, read on past the break.
