The Ole' High School Quest

Sometimes, I get bored.

About ten years ago I kicked of a sort of tradition. About once a year, I spend an evening poking around the inter-tubes looking for people I knew in high school.

Now before I go to much further, understand, I have no fondness for high school. The best day of my high school career was the day after I graduated. University rocked like Van Halen (uh, Chuck Berry if you're a lot older, and I'll be damned if I know what those kids nowadays listen to. Is that music?). High school just sucked rocks.

I usually run the effect down inside of an hour or two. But this year I got a hit on a guy I used to hang out with. I figured he had to have an email, as I can't imagine one of my C64 buddies not being on the inter nets. I'll keep you posted, assuming there is anything to post.


Oh and that serial thing - skip it. I got bored. Amazing how much that plays in my life.

Harsh lesson in the InterTubes

Bugga.

I've really messed myself up this time. I volunteered to run the dealers room for KeyCon. That's not the messed up part. They have a link on the page which will forward me email if you have questions. That's where I slipped.

I let them use my stock email address.

I have received more spam in the last 2 days than in the previous year. Note to self: If you're going to put an email address on a public web page, set up a disposable account. It would have taken about 2 minutes. I'm hoping that once my addy is off the page it will go away. If not, I guess I'll have to change it. How about jp.iamaninternetsmoron@service.com?

WoW Cool

Ok, if your a fan like me (uh, except then you're probably still playing aren't you), you NEED to get the Stardock Windows theme from Blizzard for WoW.

Look here.

It rocks like nothing else.

Diablo II

Some things never really get old. I would have thought, after two years of playing WoW, that going back to off-line, pixelated, NOT 3D, no Night-ElF-Diablo II (Technically DII:LoD) would be short lived. It's just a strong game for the money.

It's also fairly obvious that the school of hard RPG knocks (by which I mean trying to adventure in Darkshire on a PvP server as the Alliance), has increased my RPG'ing stat (by at least 1). The bosses don't seem as tough. On the other hand there have been several sweeping patches since I stopped playing about 3 years ago.
