Enthusiasm

Say it with me, “New hotness”? The SDK for Document Locator is very nice. It apparently has some bugs which frustrated me for a long time until I talked to a developer who told me there are bugs with one function I’m trying to use but that bug should be fixed on Friday/Monday’s next build of Document Locator. Been getting some darn cool stuff done recently and it’s nice that I’ve just been coding like crazy with very little stress. I mean Rhonda is still a lot of stress but at least I have Brian to help with the politics.

So Gnar and I did nothing but lose tonight. Lose, lose, lose, and ummm lost some more. AV, AB, WSG. Doesn’t matter all we did was lose. I’m really sick and tired of the how pathetic the horde are playing right now. I need to get into some battles with Cordo, Thrarr, Ariarmnes, Mad, and some other people who know how to play and form a good solid guild WSG group to annihilate for an evening.

Today’s hike was 6.1 miles, 12220 steps, 118 minutes, 3.4 mph average, 3.84 mph @ the fastest. This park is located in Salem just off the river. Don’t ask me why we drove 51 miles to go on a hike, but hey it’s fun and different. There were lots of bugs in parts where the park was swampy, I even ate a couple again. This hike was nice because it was relatively flat and we kept up the pace over a decent distance. We hit different muscle groups that we have been previously doing hills at a slow pace. Unfortunately a lot of the trail was pavement so it did hurt our feet, but the new REI socks I bought helped with some of the rubbing in the boots.

Today I finished my Robe of the Void. It was on sale super cheap in the AH, bought some components, and farmed the rest. It’s my first purple item and it’s hella nice. The extra 46 damage to spells is a major bonus to my DPS, making my shadowbolts hit for the 1500′s when they crit, then a 2nd crit would land 20% higher than that. I can only imaging how much Soulfire crits for now and Soulburn’s average. Gnar hit level 60 tonight on a Scholo run that didn’t go much of anywhere but it was nice to at least get some more experience in the dungeon. It’s the first time I’ve done a guild run through there and noone died in the Dark Summoner room.

I’ve finally pounded my hosting provider enough that they are finally figuring out that the issues are with their database server being pounded too much by abusive users. The website it’s running a lot better now and tonight I’m getting together with Sean aka Mairn to setup a new Roster. It sounds really cool with a lot of features. I can’t wait to get it rolling. We’re also going to setup a guild Bank account for storing Recipes, Lockboxes, Blues, and even Purples to be divided up to members for stuff we get on instance runs that’s BoE not BoP.

In that time I’ll save up a 5K saving buffer, pay off my car, and have enough for a down payment plus furnature for my new house. I can’t wait. All of that assuming I don’t get paid another red cent, which Brian has assured me will change. I’m going to have to wait one more month or so because I need to finish paying off the rest of my Amex. So starting in July my budget’s getting tightened up a bit as I begin to save for my house. If I’m lucky I should be in a house of my own on my own merit around my 30th Birthday.

Corrigo synchronization is now done. Apparently this entire time it wasn’t my issue and actually an issue with the Corrigo wSDK. They have resolved the issue and now it’s just a matter of time before we start seeing real updates to the now working software from Hoffman.

Today I feel semi human. I got real full night’s rest (not getting up every hour to go pee out my butt) which is a first since I was sick. I don’t as weak today though I do feel a bit weak. I did more work today trying to resolve issues with Meriwether syncing/Corrigo stuff, but other than that took it easy and did more WoW’in. I ate cerial this morning which was a big step because it had dairy, I ate a decent sized lunch of soup and toast, and I had a normal sized meal at Aztecha (my first time out of the house since this started, well except for the hospital visit). I should be good for work tomorrow though I doubt I’ll be 100% more like 85-90%.

Today I’m starting to eat more real food in small quantities, but at least it’s been the first day I’ve been out of bed all day. Kinda bummed around in WoW to keep myself entertained while sick. I really didn’t feel like Xbox’ing it since that’s in my bedroom and I wanted to get away from my bed. My stomach/intestines are starting to adjust from having 100% fluid in them to having solid food. Lots of Gator-aide has been my saving grace. Lots of crap going down with work. I’ve been working a bit with Brian on it from home to see if it’s anything I could fix. I’ll try more tomorrow my head is very lightheaded still today.

I actually ate 3 meals today, though all 3 were very small I was able to keep down real solid food. Hopefully tomorrow I will get better. I called into work to tell Brian I for sure wouldn’t be in tomorrow and I might not be in on Tuesday.

On a side note, Ariarmnes and Madmordigan both made Elder Serpents. Hopefully now those 2 will help divy up some of the duties that Thrarr and I have been sharing trying to keep the guild a float. I tried to play a bit today but I ended up being too weak and had to rest after being on for about 30 minutes.
