Lame… My iMac is refusing to read the Starcraft 2 disc. It will take about 5 more hours to download the digital copy. Grrrr! #

You know, with ships being all wood and such, you'd think they'd have a stricter "No Mounted Warlocks" policy on Azeroth's transport system. #
I think I might start a new project today or tomorrow. We'll see. #
@Laneer Oh, no it won't. AT&T network congestion at Blizzcon last year was insane. I couldn't even post to twitter via SMS for most of it. in reply to Laneer #
Just walked into my room. Puppies busy pretending they had Absolutely Nothing To Do With that loud noise. Cat nowhere to be seen. #
@Laneer There was. It was also useless due to network congestion. =/ Maybe they'll fix it this time… I'm not holding my breath though. in reply to Laneer #
An inexpensive but decent Blizzcon lodging option: http://www.abbysanaheimerinn.com/ I stayed there last year. Bonus: It's walking distance. #

I'm good with WoW rep grinds, but IRL is a bit different. If only my boss were appeased by turning in librams and bits of zombie skin. #
Glanced at my other twitter account, and briefly wondered why a *font* was following me. Then I realized it was Vandana, not Verdana. #
So there's a patch today, after all. #
A little one though. Blinked and almost missed it. #
Wow. I was just kicked from an LFD group for daring to suggest the tank might want to keep his positioning more stable so I don't waste AoE. #
RT @Warcraftrealm WOWAPI: Warden is now collecting LUA data #security /// So that was what was in today's micro-patch. Huh. #
@hotsdots Nice! You're grinding away like crazy—pun intended. I'm at just over 6.5k/12k Honored with DMF after last week. in reply to hotsdots #
@Rilgon Could be from heavy net traffic due to the World Cup? in reply to Rilgon #
Exxon CEO: When these [spills] happen, we're not very well equipped to deal with them. ME: Then get the fuck out of sensitive ecosystems. #
I swear, oil companies on Earth are run like goblin cartels in Azeroth… #
@foxvanallen But one of them is rotting, liquefied bacon. in reply to foxvanallen #

My Succubus is named Glynaith. Which was my best friend's mom's name. Awkward. #
@hotsdots See this is where certain Christians get all smug and remind us that Jesus saves & so should you. in reply to hotsdots #
@hotsdots Grats on reaching Exalted with Ravenholdt. Still working on Shendralar? Those Pristine Black Diamonds are a bear to find. #
@hotsdots I got lucky with them and woke up one morning to discover someone had dumped just over 70 of them on the AH at about 5g each. in reply to hotsdots #
@wowcynwise I've sold a few through Zazzle.com and the process was surprisingly smooth. in reply to wowcynwise #
<–is slow today. Just logged out to uninstall one addon in favor of another, but got distracted by blue posts and logged right back in. #
Of course, today *would* be the day I leave my train-set destroyer in the bank… #
The funny thing about rights is that when they get taken away from one person, they can be taken away from every person. Goodnight, and GL. #
@_anea That seems like it would almost *have* to be a Prank. in reply to _anea #
@LAPRIDE Your website is down. I keep getting "Error 999" messages from Yahoo. You're hosted via Yahoo, right? #
@LAPRIDE My guess would be you're being targeted with a Denial of Service attack by some folks who don't much like us gays and our Pride. #
@LAPRIDE Site seems to be back up again. Yahoo's sentry programs probably resolved whatever was causing the issue. #
@Brigwyn That *is* great news. But your url shortener is broken. Returned an internal server error instead of an article. in reply to Brigwyn #
@The_T I'm sure the players would argue differently. Still, it's one more nudge to FIFA to find a way to eliminate tie games. in reply to The_T #
@Brigwyn That definitely worked. I'm glad she's safe. An ocean's a big place to get lost in. in reply to Brigwyn #

Guess who's going to Blizzcon 2010!!! =) #
@Rhidach I was 233! =) in reply to Rhidach #
@Rhidach Thanks! It helped to have the NIST website open. Only really had to press ?-R twice. in reply to Rhidach #
@cursenetwork @matticus I remember someone once saying the max attendee capacity for the Anaheim Convention Center was around 15000. in reply to cursenetwork #
@The_T *Crossing fingers* in reply to The_T #
@matticus @cursenetwork You may be right. The figure I heard was back when they weren't using all four halls, so that could be so. in reply to matticus #
@morynne I forget how involved it is to attend Blizzcon if you don't live in LA, SD, or the OC. in reply to morynne #
@Wowhead Me. in reply to Wowhead #
So Blizzard is trying to join Adobe on Jobs' sh!tlist, huh? I mean, they're making Flash of Light *less* efficient, after all. #justsayin #
Before I get mobbed by Apple fanbois, that last tweet was posted from my Mac. Also, I'm with Jobs on this one. Adobe needs to cut the fat. #

Beta Imminent – How To Opt-In

Cayleb — Thu, 13 May 2010 19:28:50 +0000

Bornakk:

Get those opt-ins ready for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm closed beta! The sundering of Azeroth is nigh, and you don’t want to be left out in the cold of Northrend when you could be enjoying the sun-drenched beaches on the goblin isle of Kezan. To ensure you’re opted-in and eligible as a potential candidate, you’ll need a World of Warcraft license attached to your Battle.net account, have your current system specifications uploaded to the Battle.net Beta Profile Settings page, and have expressed interest through the franchise-specific check boxes.

So get your opt-ins set up, updated, and ready; we’re worgen real hard to get the beta going soon!

Link: https://www.battle.net/account/management/beta-profile.xml

Step 1 - Have a World of Warcraft License (duh.)
Step 2 – Go to the link above and download the program, let it scan you and assmilate… I mean assess your computer’s basic settings. It will then automatically upload those settings to Battle.net.
Step 3 – Go back to that link and make sure the settings are listed and the check box for Warcraft-universe betas is checked.

Resistance is futile. Or surprisingly easy. I’m never sure which.

Does Anyone Feel a Draft?

If you’re wondering what happened to my recent post on Uldum, it has been removed from the public portion of this site. It any any other postings regarding information leaked from the Cataclysm alpha will be unviewable until such time as the NDA is lifted. I am doing this voluntarily and of my own accord.

I haven’t received any sort of request from Blizzard to pull down recent posts that contained leaked Cataclysm information. In fact, they haven’t contacted me directly at all. But they did contact mmo-champion. I figure if he’s not gonna fight them, what chance would I stand? I don’t have an army of lawyers or even a legal department, unlike Blizzard Activision, Inc.

A video game is not worth going into personal bankruptcy, nor is it worth my losing sleep over the threat of litigation.

Like Boubouille, I am requesting that no spoilers, links to spoilers, and (especially) links to leaked alpha builds/servers/sandboxes be posted in the comments section here. (Not that I think any of my five readers would do such a thing, but it must be said.) Any such comments will be removed immediately and result in week-long bans of the commenter’s IP address(es).

There. My @$$ is now officially covered.
