Cayleb’s Weekly Ramblings: 2010-12-05

  • Sensitive documents reveal that of the somewhat-less-than 99 problems Jay-Z actually has, a b*%^$ IS IN FACT one of them. #wikileaks #
  • @Rilgon The Horde on our server run a coastal sweep to distract/prevent the Alliance from winning. It often seems to work. in reply to Rilgon #

Cayleb’s Weekly Ramblings: 2010-11-28

  • @Rilgon Oh god. I was just prepping a follow-up post somewhat related to his prior debacle. What now? in reply to Rilgon #
  • @Rilgon Entitlement can be so ugly. in reply to Rilgon #
  • If you thrive on fear, divisiveness, and a generally pro-conservative media, there's an app for that. http://t.co/sHkPgKX #
  • I like world events and all… but dang. Why break the SW-IF tram? #
  • @Achloryn Have you seen damnyouautocorrect.com? Seems like that would be right up your alley. in reply to Achloryn #
  • @_anea Ripe, fresh pomegranate seeds always cheer me up. in reply to _anea #
  • @FeistTheRogue @Rilgon LOL. Thanks both for the reminder. Not even sure if I did the questline already. Checking now. in reply to FeistTheRogue #
  • Not a good sign: Raene has no "Cleansing" quest for me. #
  • @Brigwyn Google's news algorithm picks out keywords from titles, then uses either articles themselves or image search as the source.
    So no. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • Twitter, I need help choosing a name for my gnome priest. Ideas: Gnomgnomgnom, Zhaspar, Theognomy, Gnorezforyou. Your votes? #
  • @Brigwyn Sure but Microsoft has also recently been in the news because they pulled that very symbol from one of their games. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @_anea Oooh, that's good… Sadly it's unavailable on my server. =( in reply to _anea #
  • @_anea I suggest Moocachino in reply to _anea #
  • @Brigwyn Sure, but wanting to prevent something implies having the foresight to consider it as a possibility. Not sure that applies here. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I honestly think it's relevant to the story, being as the story is about the symbol. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @_anea What do you think of Sublimignome? #
  • @Brigwyn I quite honestly don't see it as any more offensive than any other flag associated with genocide. Confederate, Nazi, or otherwise. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Sure. The suffering and deaths of millions of African slaves were purely incidental. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Also, the Civil War was not fought over "state's rights." It was fought out of fear of losing the "right" to own people. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @_anea In the Stormwind Keep, I thought. Behsten, I think his name is. in reply to _anea #
  • @Brigwyn See the revisionist version is the "state's rights" bullpuckey. Slavery was *the* primary reason for Confederate Secession. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Read this: http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/reasons.html in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn If you want to ascribe to the Southern, white-supremacist version, go ahead and keep parroting the "states rights" bullpuckey. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I assume you also bought the white-supremacist crap about the Reconstruction South being ridden with corrupt carpetbaggers? in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Had you stopped to consider that the other economic issues tied in to slavery? Free laborers find it hard to compete with slavery. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I apologize for the misunderstanding. The states rights argument is based in white supremacy. I never once said you were one. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn And now that you have it, I believe I'm owed an apology for being called biased and dogmatic. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Dude. Chill out. I never said you were racist or a white supremacist. But examine the source of your beliefs once in a while. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Wrong. Dead wrong. The South would never have seceded if it were not afraid of losing slavery. Sovereignty was an excuse. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I'm not saying the belief in individual and state's rights is wrong or racist. I'm saying it's a poor excuse for the Confederacy. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn See now you're actually discrediting the abolitionist movement, apparently without realizing it. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Not even close. And you're wrong about the timing too. Secession began right after Lincoln was elected. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Absolutely not. Where did the "Federal Government" violate the US Constitution prior to Secession? in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn South Caroline seceded in December of 1860, following Lincoln's election to the Presidency. Before he took office, but after he won in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Furthermore, NOT ONE of SC's stated reasons for secession was unrelated to slavery. NOT ONE. State's rights were an excuse. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn SECOND LINE of the Georgia doc, "…with reference to the subject of African slavery." in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I see "slave" or some form of the word 18 times in SC's doc, and well over twice that many times in GA's separation doc. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn The Confederacy was not founded on the principle of "state's rights" but on the "right" to own another human being. Big difference. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn The "state's rights" reasoning in those documents was for benefit of legitimizing secession, not the reason behind it. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I'm not. You're misunderstanding me. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn If we agree, then why can you not admit that the Confederate flag is just as offensive as the Nazi flag? in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn The point we disagree on is that the Confederate flag represented a nation founded in the desire to preserve slavery. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I'm guessing @Ungaro has a saved search for "slavery" and our related discussion prompted a reply. =) in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn I actually grew up having learned the "state's rights" version, and only came to believe it false much more recently. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Quite possibly. It's still very difficult for a Northerner to accept any positive symbolism behind the Confederate flag. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Guilty as charged. I certainly can be a literal-minded smart-ass sometimes. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Indeed. I've enjoyed most of this exchange, but I must get some rest. Big day tomorrow, isn't it? in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @foxvanallen This is how the modern world defines us: who we sleep with and who we gossip with. in reply to foxvanallen #
  • @Achloryn Probably not, no. The "Elemental Fire Sale" blue post seems to imply that yesterday was the end of it. in reply to Achloryn #
  • @marcustufano Sad, but comparing it to the Jews is very much a false equivalence, and offensive to anyone with a connection to the camps. in reply to marcustufano #
  • The Situation was in Deathwing's way and all that hair product is giving Deathwing indigestion. #whythepatchislate #shattering #
  • Deathwing's GearScore addon froze while calculating his armor slot values. #whymaintenanceisextended #
  • Deathwing broke through the world, then got distracted by Facebook. #whymaintenanceisextended #
  • @restokin @cursenetwork That was my thought as well. They gotta get this part right or major headache ensues. in reply to restokin #
  • Deathwing went on strike, protesting working conditions that are "too safe." #whymaintenanceisextended #
  • @asmor Jealous? I'm not jealous? Why ever would you say a thing like that? Unrelated: Does pickpocket work on cookies? in reply to asmor #
  • Deathwing misjudged his entrance and ended up in a bad Matthew McConaughey movie instead. #whymaintenanceisextended #
  • That's kind of redundant, isn't it? …bad Matthew McConaughey movie… #
  • @TedtheThird For Alliance, definitely the Gadgetzan portal. It's the opposite end of Kalimdor from the two easy access points, Darn & Exo. in reply to TedtheThird #
  • @asmor ROFL. I think I'll just go to the store now. May not buy cookies though. That image has put me off my appetite. Forever. in reply to asmor #
  • @Wowhead I think my head may essplode from too much good news today! in reply to Wowhead #
  • @asmor Indeed. I'm just glad I'm driving this holiday season. Flying was bad enough before you had the chance to do free porn or get groped. in reply to asmor #
  • Dark Iron-US is UP!!!! #
  • @_anea Keep yer feet on th' ground. in reply to _anea #
  • So, there's now a portal to The Exodar inside the Temple of the Moon. Right next to the portal to the Blasted Lands. #
  • And now I keep getting disconnected. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken that portal to the Blasted Lands? #
  • Disabling addons seems to have no effect on the disconnecting. #
  • @_anea So I named her Lysefizz. Lyse being Norwegian for "light." Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! =) in reply to _anea #
  • @psynister No, not until midnight on Dec. 7th. in reply to psynister #
  • Ok, so I was able to log in on my mage and make 150g in portal tips in 30 minutes. But once I ported to SW, he disco'ed just like my pally. #
  • Ok, gonna go run an errand and hopefully this disconnect bug will work itself out before I get back. #
  • Lor'danel is getting creepier by the moment. First, Ancient Protectors frozen in poses, now Ranger Nal'Shea has a clone. #
  • Darkshore… oh, Darkshore… so sad, almost unbearably so. Seeing this zone fills me with such emotional conflict. #
  • @matticus One of my guildmates did while flying through a zone on a gryphon. He escaped with 2% health, and the achievement. in reply to matticus #
  • @mikeschramm Should be. They're even open for part of tomorrow, if I recall correctly. in reply to mikeschramm #
  • @wowcynwise Just walking through the zone yesterday was enough to break my heart. in reply to wowcynwise #

Cayleb’s Weekly Ramblings: 2010-11-14

  • TLPD Watch, Day Three – No Vyra spottings in the last 24 hours. Coverage has been sporadic and not complete. #
  • "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love." ~ Carl Sagan. He would have been 76 today. #
  • @KhiTree Possibly because we regularly make our political opponents into villainous caricatures these days? in reply to KhiTree #
  • @Rilgon I've ran into that bug too. Very annoying. in reply to Rilgon #
  • @matticus No. GM's should have to earn it just like everyone else. Let's the guild members know if the GM is serious or not. in reply to matticus #
  • Just saw this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GJ7eueZ1wY
    Literally laughed so hard I cried. #
  • Starting an epic article series for the blog as a way to get back into WoW-related writing. Look for it tomorrow morning. #
  • @punkforpez I am wrought with an sudden fit of envy. Must. have. bobble-head. Yoda. =) in reply to punkforpez #
  • @punkforpez Thank you. If ever I can repay you for the tip, for example, by pulling you from a burning building, let me know! =) in reply to punkforpez #
  • @psynister Awesome job on this list, by the way! If you want to add me, main is Cayleb, Dark Iron-US, (A). Also play Enio, Eddywizzard. in reply to psynister #
  • @Palehoof A belated happy Veteran's Day to you too. Glad we got a chance to meet at the Guild Leadership Blizzchat at Blizzcon. in reply to Palehoof #
  • @anafielle Seems like twitter got on that pretty quickly. Account does not exist. in reply to anafielle #
  • Just got my first ever [Let's Get This Done!] in AB. Too bad it was on my frost mage and not my pally main. Ah well. #
  • @psynister Huzzah! Thanks =) in reply to psynister #
  • I've just finished violating the privacy of five Stormwind Citizens at the gates. It's for a good cause though, they tell me. #
  • ROFL… Ancients of wheat and water… peppered the way… glaze Stormwind… ROFL. #
  • @Brigwyn There's a place in downtown LA that does great tacos, but uses only cabbage. Surprised me the first time too. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @psynister You know… a thought occurs to me. You could set up The List as a viewable Google Spreadsheet with a form that users self-sub. in reply to psynister #
  • Three Cheese Tortellini (not from scratch) + Black Olive & Garlic Red Sauce (from scratch) = Epic Dinner Win! #
  • @Brigwyn LOL. Civic Center Station? If so, it's likely b/c it was closed for maintenance earlier today and the sign hasn't reset. in reply to Brigwyn #
  • @Brigwyn Or not. Maybe that was just the elevator. So many service alerts, so hard to remember them all. #
  • @_vidyala Just saw RED. Very good. Now deciding whether to level Eddy, my frost mage, or work on The Ethical Alt some more. in reply to _vidyala #
  • @_vidyala Indeed. I think that's what I'll go for. Frost is soooo fun these days! in reply to _vidyala #
  • @anafielle Probably Blizzcon, but it's seriously a close call. in reply to anafielle #
  • Going to be listening to the Twisted Nether podcast tonight. Starts soon: http://is.gd/fU4dy #

  • Serious issues tonight with ICC. Attempted a Heroic 10, but switching the difficulty ported a raid member to a different instance of ICC. #
  • On switching back, the ported raid member was not in our instance. #

  • 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 #
