All in Wonder

Just a few things that don’t warrant an entire post of their own. First on Tuesday night Surviving Disaster premiered on Spike TV. I missed it and caught it on Wednesday but what a freakin’ awesome show!!! Cade Courtley may be my new personal hero. They are streaming the full episode from the website (no embeds sorry) so go check it out, you’ll thank me. Next week: Inferno!

Something which has bothered me for a long time is pedestrian foot traffic. People need to follow normal traffic rules when they’re walking through hallways or shopping areas. Visualize lanes and stay in yours! This always drives me crazy when at the grocery store. While you’re at it don’t block an intersection and slower traffic stay to the right. With this in mind I was walking back to my office approaching a double door. I went to the right side door and began to open only to bump into some lady who was opening the door from the other side. She gave me a curdled “Sorry” and I apologized even though I should have had the right of way. Perhaps I expect too much.

In other news I’m really hoping to get in on the Star Trek Online Closed Beta. I’m having some MMO withdrawal, but not enough to go back to WoW yet :D

House of M…

Disney-Marvel-Bought-PurchasedM for Mickey that is. They just picked up Marvel’s IP for a cool $4 billion in stock and cash. Both companies appear optimistic but I’m not so sure this is going to be such a great thing. Will Disney require that the comics take a more family friendly line? Official press release can be found here.

Your Turpitude is showing

For some reason I had the word turpitude on the brain. Sometimes I find myself rolling words and phrases in my head that are contextually correct, however if you were to ask me the exact definition I’d have to look it up. I found the wikipedia article on moral turpitude amusing. Basically as long as you don’t intend an act of outright malicious evil, no one will think any worse of you. You will probably still go to jail, but hey, at least your character is safe right?

Learning!

So this week I have engaged in Actionscript training and it’s blowing my mind! Everything I had wanted to do and couldn’t figure out how, I’m learning how to do! This is great, provided I can remember what I have learned in 3 days time.

Service Nightmare

I have a problem.

In August of 2007, I started renting a voice server from Game Daemons. The price was right, and they even had a hosting site in my neck of the woods. Things were fine for a while. In October, I decided that I wanted to switch from a monthly payment plan to a four month payment plan. There was no easy way to do this through the website, so I ended up with a second account. I figured I would just cancel the first account and keep using the second. Over the course of the holidays, I kept receiving overdue invoices which didn’t matter since I had another account…until the server stopped working. Somehow the accounts got confused, but after a little puzzlement Game Daemons was able to correct the situation, or so I thought. Read the rest of this entry »
