Drupalcon - yes, I am going

Thu, 2008-02-07 00:52 — sepeck

Up until this last weekend I did not have any plans to go to Drupalcon. For various reasons I didn't take seriously Kieran's mention of sponsors (partly because I've never done it before, partly because work and family have me a little overwhelmed at the moment). Well he did something about it and got my conference fee taken care of and a place for me to stay (I will be thanking these folks in a later post). I am arranging my flight now and will try that chip in thing he told me about to help mitigate my credit card on that and I should be good to go.

I have two presentations I have proposed.

  1. The first is on documentation . Where we are, how we got here, things that we've tried and what people can do to help.
  2. The other is on revisiting the current drupal.org forum structure. Over the years we've evolved a new way to collaborate with the groups site but that is not always obvious to the new comers. Also, other forums have developed some differing practices that we can leverage to mitigate culture shock and present resources to new folks.

Should be fun.

Also finally added a Drupalcon tag to my site.

Druid Tanking Gruul's

Mon, 2008-02-04 02:16 — sepeck

Last night was a good night. We have Gruul's on pretty much farm now. We go in confident on taking him down on the first shot, pretty much got the timing right and everything. Occasionally we have to do it in the second shot. Last night I came in second on the roll for the Tier 4 leg drop to our main priest, Nerindel but he passed them onto me. My armor now in bear hit's 32,000.

Upcoming Microsoft Scripting Games

Fri, 2008-02-01 09:55 — sepeck

I was reminded recently of Microsoft's upcoming scripting games. In the past I have always started with the best of intentions to complete the challenges but often found myself distracted by silly things like work and such. This year I am going to try and finish at least the PowerShell based ones as a way to learn more about it. The stuff I do right now is very very basic.

More information on the scripting games can be found at the Microsoft Script Center.

My raid bag

Wed, 2008-01-23 01:10 — sepeck

So, over at Of Teeth and Claws, Karthis posted his raid bag contents and asked others to do so as well. Looking at his list, I think I may be altering mine a little in the future but I figure changing it up before would be cheating .

I don't really have an organized raid bag but do have things I always carry and restock for raids, so a little re-org later, here is my raid bag.

Gruul's down, new shoulders!

Tue, 2008-01-22 02:07 — sepeck

Last night Order of Thought downed High King Mulgar and Gruul's. Mulgar took two runs as our mage tank got a hit without the shield. Gruul's was down in one shot. Oh, I won the roll on the tier 4 shoulders and picked up my Mantle of Malorne. Currently only honored with Aldor so to get the better enchant I need to grind some reputation. The new shoulders replace my old blue set and repairs seem to be costing more now. For now I socketed them with Enduring Talasite. I need to review all my gems and adjust. I also picked up the Commander's Badge after hitting revered with Netherwing for a nice stamina upgrade.

I am a Druid

Thu, 2008-01-17 00:53 — sepeck

Raises hand...... I play World of Warcraft. Yes, yes, I play a Druid named Muhan

I have been playing since a few weeks after launch. A few friends played it during the beta and convinced me to give it a try. We rolled characters on a PvP server first (I was a priest), it was fun with a hint of danger and occasional gankage. The Horde Alliance ratio was approximately 1 to 2. Then Blizzard opened up realm transfers and the ratio changed and the new Alliance folks would gank and camp you for an hour. Hard to impossible to just quest.
