Right, I’ve taken the day off work, I’ve managed to tear myself away from World of Warcraft (Ok, the servers are down for maintainance) and I’m resisting temptations to just drum loudly for a long time.
This should mean I’ll have a chance to sort out everything for Psi-0.9.3-test2. which will hopefully be the last release before 0.9.3.
Busy afternoon ahead of me.

Still no WoW. Three different people have now failed to acquire copies for me.
I shall cry in the corner.
Cath is now well trained though, when I right-click her (prod her left shoulder) she now says “Zug Zug”, “More work?” “I’m not that kind of orc”, “What do you want?” quite well.
It’s not the same though

I sit here waiting for a CD key for World of Warcraft to appear so I can play.
I *need* my WoW fix.
*twitches.

Been playing a great deal of the open beta of World of Warcraft this last week or so, and it’s the greatest thing since pre-cut baked products.
Reason I’ve had so much time: Managed to pick up a strain in training and haven’t trained in a week, and had a filthy cold so have been off work. ‘Great’.

Forgot about my blog. As such, all the disinteresting things that haven’t happened to me have been lost. This is a shame, so they’re provided here

Last Thursday was the first TKD demo. Went well enough. Dosed up on caffeine and sugar beforehand so I was sufficiently hyper. All good.
Saturday was back to the traditional Seven Stars lunch with Dave and Gareth. Sunday was the fresher’s squash, which involved me standing outside in the rain for *far* too long. Went home and read a book in the evening. Today was work, and that’s going reasonably well for a change.

On average: good few days.

Goods from Amazon finally arrived yesterday, taking a mere 3 days for ‘next day delivery’. Anyway. Both are very shiny and appear to work, which is a Good Thing(tm).
Hurt my knuckles a bit by failing to put my fist through a breaking board last night. Yes this was probably foolish, no I won’t do it again (for a while). I thought it was a good idea to get some breaking practise in, in advance of next month’s competition. I was wrong. I shalln’t be as silly again
I now have a dual-head (two monitors) setup at work, which is nice, although one of them is a rather fuzzy old monitor that I need to find a replacement for quite soon.

Well, last night I finally ordered my Digital Camera and Digital Video Camera. I paid for Next Day Deliver on Sunday. Amazon’s estimated delivery date: Wednesday/Thursday. I’m hoping they’re lieing and they’re really more competent than that, although I’ve been noticing them getting less competent over the last few months.
Also. yes; I’ve started playing The Sims 2 a little.

Well, I’ve just spent an exciting Sunday afternoon prodding Wordpress into using the style from the rest of my site, and the rest of my site into using the links from Wordpress. I still haven’t written the ‘News’ feed on the front page, but hopefully I’ll gain some competence at some point soon and do so
Also had my first comment posted by someone other than Cath last night. Thanks Roz

Signed up for the free trial of Asheron’s Call last night, after abusing work’s bandwidth to download it. Seems quite reasonable, missions are nice, experience system seems to be competent. You get both skill points and experience with levels. The skill points buy new skills, the experience improves old ones. Much better first impression than Ryzom
