Can't talk ... I'm currently stockpiling all my sugar'd cereals in case of a breakfast armageddon ... be very VERY careful around the Honeycombs ... those could CRUSH a man ...

The war is coming folks ... the first shots have already been fired ... will YOU be ready?!?!?!?

TheGreatBoo · Aug 24, 2005, 06:51 PM // 18:51

Lol. My pantrys full of like 10 boxes of cereal. Mlik on the other hand is scarce at the moment. Guess I better go farm for some pocket change then go run to droknars to get a few gallons. Gotta be careful though. I hear that some milks have the same effects as dwarven ale haha.

you could always swing by Yak's Bend and squeeze some off for yourself

and yes, i'm about to do some GW quests with my newbie char...

TheGreatBoo · Aug 24, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Haha true. Would save me an hour or two of farming. Seriously though, anyone want to form a party and do something? haha.

Swampgirl Inez · Aug 24, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

I can for a little while...I really should be doing laundry... what are looking to do?

TheGreatBoo · Aug 24, 2005, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Anything really. I've just been sitting around posting on the forum about playing too long haha. None of my friends are on as of yet.

Swampgirl Inez · Aug 24, 2005, 07:10 PM // 19:10

ok, IGN Inez Houndstooth... we'll figure it out from there

TheGreatBoo · Aug 24, 2005, 07:11 PM // 19:11

Haha alright then.

Swampgirl Inez · Aug 24, 2005, 07:27 PM // 19:27

ARgh!!! I'm sorry Boo. It keeps kicking me off.

Vengeance · Aug 24, 2005, 08:13 PM // 20:13

DAMNIT!!! How can you people be playing at a time like this? Can't you feel the tension in the air? TOAST IS GONNA FLY!!! Mark my words!

Actually ... I'm just upset that I'm at work and not at home frolicking in an online environment ... damnit ...

Swampgirl Inez · Aug 24, 2005, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Aren't you the IT guy? I thought it was part of your job description to "test" all new online applications to see if they are a threat to your network or if you can block their use from the peons.... My husband and I have been "testing" the new Google Talk all day.

EmperorTippy · Aug 24, 2005, 08:59 PM // 20:59

i got it. yah. ttyl.

BrandonIT · Aug 24, 2005, 09:19 PM // 21:19

Yeah, I've been testing the new Google Talk application all day and let me tell you, it's a productivity killer. Problem is, the silly thing works over port 443 using SSL near as I can tell. Luckily it reports to the proxy that it's "Google Talk" protocol and not just HTTP traffic. Otherwise, there'd be no stopping it.

The voice chat stuff is pretty good. I haven't verified yet that it also runs over 443 but if it does, then good bye to opening tons of ports to do Netmeeting calls and such.

Anyway, also got the new Google Desktop Search 2 and am enjoying the customized news articles. Once I get rid of all the leftist propaganda news sites (like CNN) then I'll be sittin' pretty.

But seriously, the auto-detect of RSS feeds on sites you're on is pretty amazing. All I had to do was go to /. and it immediately picked up the feeds.

O.k., now I guess I need to get back to "testing" all this new technology.

Did I mention we also got our Windows Vista beta in today?

EmperorTippy · Aug 24, 2005, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Hey who here knows of a good free online atlas? I need one that has a political map of europe with serbia on it.

TheGreatBoo · Aug 25, 2005, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Do your homework elsewhere tippy haha. And yeah if you know what I'm talking about, tommorrow at 8 works splendidly. The friend that I said could come yesterday would also enjoy coming, she can bring a necro, ranger, or warrior.

EmperorTippy · Aug 25, 2005, 12:57 AM // 00:57

sweet. Now lets see.

Thats a:
E/Mo (Me)
E/Me (you)
Mo/?? (Protector dude)
N/?? (our battery)
W/?? your friend as a warrior

now we need:
Mo/?? Healer
Me/?? doing w/e
something else prolly a ranger somethig

TheGreatBoo · Aug 25, 2005, 01:01 AM // 01:01

Yeah hopefully we can stick to the core plan here haha. And lets see more than 4 people on ts.

EmperorTippy · Aug 25, 2005, 01:04 AM // 01:04

yeah. That warrior not being on TS caused problems

TheGreatBoo · Aug 25, 2005, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Yeah we double agroed too many times. And we need to make sure no one takes quests this time.

EmperorTippy · Aug 25, 2005, 01:08 AM // 01:08

yeah. It was prolly that John guy or the warrior. I mean the quest we finished would have got me a skill point.
