What's the aim?

Posted 10-08-2008 at 02:31 AM by Shorty
A very short and seemingly simple enough question, but one which I found very hard to answer last night.

Here's what happened:

My dad's returned unexpectedly to our flat for a few days before flying back home and due to guild cleanup I've logged on the last few nights for a short while to chat to guildies who I haven't managed to chat to yet and to try to auction off the gb stuff.

Now, my dad's pretty computer literate for his generation - word processing,...

Gnome looking into the possibilities of a new home

Posted 10-04-2008 at 04:36 AM by Shorty
Those of you who have followed my blog will know the guild of which I was joint-MT and officer stopped raiding several weeks ago and after a 2 week break from the game I logged in last night to find that the server Wildhammer-EU is dieing, with guilds transferring enmasse. And with no other officer or ex-GM willing to lead the guild I emailed as many guildies as I could track down explaining that I am likely to disband in the next week or two

I'm really looking for any guidance...

35 381 words and ....

77 graphs making up 195 pages = one PhD thesis, which I finally after 4 years (the last 6 months of which I've been working fulltime) printed this morning!! It will be bound and posted early next week and then I can put it out of my mind for a month or two until my viva (oral defence of it), the date of which hasn't been set as yet. I have no doubt I'll be stressed around several bends closer to my viva, but for the moment I am just incredibly relieved to have it in a state where I can't do any...

Today's newspapers are tomorrows rubbish ...

or something like that is how the saying goes. However even though we might throw a newspaper away never to look at it again, some things will stay in our memories for the rest of our lives - a picture, a turn of phrase, a comment, an attitude.

Like many WoW players I'm currently concerned about WotLK, about what it will mean to me as a player, a tank, to my guild and to my server. I hope, whenever I've queried stuff in WotLK discussion posts, that I've kept my cool, maintained an...

Casual vs Hardcore - is it black and white?

Posted 08-26-2008 at 02:37 AM by Shorty
Firstly, a recap, after weeks of struggling to fill raid slots (and please don't say recruit - we have 2 ally guilds in sunwell and probably only 3 more in MH/BT or end of T5), we called it. A couple of our officers have joined a different raid guild on their mains, as have some of our raiders. Almost all who have left have left alts in the guild and the rest of us are having a month or two of "quiet time" before WotLK.

So, what's led me to even contemplate a blog on one...
