[BE88] The Strategist

I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

Updates stopped for this blog. Last post 20 August 2013.

Like the new blog skin? I changed it in the wee hours of the morning today (around 12am). I started making it yesterday after dinner (around 7:30pm), and I just stuck myself with Photoshop until I was done with it. Using the HTML coding of the previous skin, I just took the background image from my Twitter, and used it as the main picture. I made the borders all by myself though, and that was really a pain to make. I wanted a zig-zag pattern, so I was asking for trouble anyway. Basically, the borders of the blog has to be made such that they join perfectly together when they are tiled. I made the wooden planks at the corners as well, and I'm pretty pleased with how that turned out to be.

Initially, the blog seemed to be a little bright. I'm quite used to having dark blog skins, so this was a rather big change. However, when I woke up today and visited my blog, it didn't seem that bad anymore. I like the orange/black combination too. Red/black is my favourite colour combination, but that's a rather evil-looking combo, and I had enough of evil (Tyrael and Diablo III has been staring at me for months).

I've been playing a lot of WoW for the past few days, and I'm more or less done with raiding with my priest. Ulduar isn't out on MagicWoW yet, so its going to be a while before I raid often again. There's this addon called Gear Score that some idiot has introduced to WoW, and what it does is give a score to each of your equipments, and then calculate the total. Its a quick measurement of the level of gear a person has, and its been used in PUGs very often. Unfortunately its going to make getting into PUGs with a new character much harder. My priest has a gear score of 4000, and the highest I've seen in the server is around 4300 (with the exception of Krylock who has Ulduar gear). I'm pretty sure a gear score of 4000 is enough to get into Ulduar raids in the future. Thus, I'm now leveling my shaman. He's currently level 74, and I'm getting sick of leveling. Leveling is a tiresome and painful process, with a lot of traveling, ganking, and waiting for spawns.

I've also been getting a horrible lag while surfing the internet these days. Basically, page would sometimes load forever, and I would have to stop the loading, and click the link again to get the page loaded. My Youtube loading speeds have also decreased. Sometimes, the pages would come up with a connection timed out just after one or two seconds, hardly enough for a connection to really time out. Its also most likely why I can't get Steam to update. Its annoying, and I have no idea what to do about it.

Prom was on 8 December 2009. I didn't go for it, mainly because hardly anyone in the class went for it as well. If I'm not wrong, only 4/24 people in the class went. Well, at least that's what I'm seeing in the photos uploaded on Facebook. My social circle outside of the class kind of sucks, because Tech Council sucks, and orientation sucks. So that's why I didn't go
