It has arrived with a special Avengers comic in tow. It is very pretty and works wonderfully. I am gonna spend a few days or maybe weeks ripping all my cd's to Itunes and downloading songs I don't have and then I will be looking into Jailbreaking it and getting som apps on there. Right now all I can do is add contacts and listen to music I have not connected it to my wifi network yet so Safari, Youtube, and mobile Itunes have not been accessed.
I was surprised to see it arrived today since I just placed the order for it on Sunday evening. I really wasn't expecting it today so when I got home I went to bed and was awoken a few hours later to the rabid barking of my three dogs. As I left the bed to check the living room for intruders I saw a flash of orange, purple and white drive by my window, at this very moment I knew I had missed the FEDEX man and was rather upset. I opened the front door and found the door hanger telling me I could pick up my package after 6PM that day, I checked the cock and it was only 9AM. NOOOOOOOOOOO. I was going to have to wait 9 hours to play with my toy, Oh well back to bed for me.

Pretty 2

Ladies and Gentleman its on its way. You heard Right I will soon be the proud owner of the Ipod Touch. As we speak it is being boxed and shipped to my front door. I paid for the express shipping so hopefully I will have it by weeks end if not earlier. I can't wait to get it in my hands and start downloading songs to Itunes. Wish me luck for when it comes it will be awesome.

Drow Has Moved

So let me Begin by saying that I will never doubt Blizzards ability to do thier jobs. As you may have read last week I attempted to transfer my 70 warrior to Velen to play with some other bloggers and friends. Well I was getting rather upset with the whole process cause it wasn't happening. Blizzards website on the transfer screen said that the average wait time is 1 hour, so last thursday when I tried to transfer and it didn't happen by this morning I was very upset. Well I called Blizzards help line this morning and asked them what was wrong since my transfer wasn't even showing on the pending transaction screen and it had been over a week since I put in the info. Well apparently none of my info had gone through and upon reading further into the transfer FAQ on Blizzards site I found that you can't transfer a toon within 20 minutes of logging out. So I logged out of WoW at 8 am this morning and waited 20 minutes I entered my Info and 40 minutes later recieved emails saying Drow was ready to play on Velen. So needless to say never doubt Blizzard they do their job well. As soon as I logged onto Drow at 9 am I got a whisper to run Shattered Halls. I told them I couldn't since my UI was all jacked up, but they said they really needed me and they would wait. So I fixed my UI sortof and got summoned to SH. We got through to the first room and then they asked if they could swap me out for a protection specced tank. I said sure and took my new leggings and walked. I was not upset I told them that if it got to hairy they could feel free to replace me. So I didn't get ot see even one boss but it was nice being needed as a tank for a little while. Coming this morning I think I might respecc to Protection and then get offers all the time.

Drow is moving

As we speak Drowurden my 70 Tauren Warrior is being moved to Velen to be a part of the Buttered Monkey's. Hopefully when I get home in the morning he will be ready to take Velen by storm. Now the Monkey's will have a dedicated tank and I can destroy everything in my path with Deadr close behind keeping me healthy. Soon the Monkey's will be taking on the End Game Raiding stuff or just trying to get some heroics, Since I will be the only 70 in the guild for the time being, Until Deadr dings 70. How have most of your realm transfers gone? Were they smooth moves or sucky. let me know.

DING DING DING

Ok so the biggest ding in a WoW players life happened to me on Sunday night. Thats right I finally dinged 70 it only took a year. So whats left ot do now that I am at 70 and haven't really tanked a whole lot. Well this afternoon I farmed some Thorium, Sunday after I dinged I helped some RL friends down the last boss in the Blood Furnace instance, that was the first time I had seen that instance and it was pretty cool. I like that the instances in Outland are so short compared to the old world ones, they are so mush easier. A few other things that you can do after you Ding 70 well you could grind Rep with all those factions you ignored before 70, if on a PvP server you could aimlessly gank lowbies till your hearts content, you could grind the Caasssshhhhh needed for a flying mount and epic Flying mount, you could run instances that you neglected before 70 and see what kind of sweet gear you could get. I have made it my presonal goal to get Herods Shoulders to drop from Scarlet Monastery since they look so awesome. You could get your professions up to 375, this includes fishing and cooking. Last and I am certain not least is getting you PvP gear. well good luck and have fun.

UBER 3

Well I did it the MXR is now fully functional in game. It was rather easy once I got the gist of it. I love this mouse it is comfortable and it has so many buttons that I can use. Lets compare to my old wired mouse. I have the MX518 on my desk top it has a scroll wheel, your typical left and right mouse button, and two buttons by your thumb labeled mouse 1 and 2, plus the scroll wheel clicks which gives it a button option labeled mouse 3. So lets count left, right, m1, m2, m3, and scroll wheel thats five buttons and the scroll wheel. Now the MXR has left, right, m1, m2, a scroll wheel by the thumb which has a forward click TSF, down clickTSD, and backward clickTSB, pluss the normal scroll wheel has side to side click NSL and NSR, and a search button. Lets count left, right, m1, m2, TSF, TSD, TSB, NSL, NSR, and the search button thats 10 button which are fully customizable with the UBER options program. That is double the amount of things I can now do with my mousebuttons rather than having to click things, its awesome. Well if you have any questions on the MXR let me know and i will do my best to answer them.

UBER 2

OK so remember yesterday when I said that hopefully my friend would put together a powerpoint presentation for me to figure out the UBER options. Well he didn't make a powerpoint but he did put together a WORD document with pictures and emailed it to me. So today I will be spending sometime getting all the bindings in order and I will officially post how the mouse works for the gaming.

Here is what my Tattoo pretty much looks like.
Here is the coloring choices I have made for it to look like when it is done. The Finished product will have much more to it than just the Koi itself and hopefully will be done very soon.

UBER 1

So the UBER options is downloaded and I still can't get my keys binded. I am going to ask my friend to put together a Powerpoint slide show for me so I can figure this thing out. I doubt he will do it but he might have some pointers for me. I had a hard time finding the actual program since the website that it was originally from was down luckily someone posted the exact download location in a forum I found through google. So as of right now the MXR is just a normal mouse not an UBER gaming mouse excuse the pun.

Pretty

OK here it is the Iphone minus the Phone and hopefully my next gadgetry purchase although I still need to buy two digital cameras, two webcams, and another DS thats alot of gadgetry in the next 4 months before I go to Korea for a year but it will make the time there much easier for both me and my wife.

Logitech MX Revolution Update

So I tried to bind the extra keys on my mouse to certain functions in game that I am used to since on my desktop I use a Logitech MX518. Well the program that comes with the MXR as it will be referred to from now on does not let you do this. So I asked my buddy who uses the same mouse how he got his keys binded and he told me I needed to download a program called UBER Options which replaces the logitech program. So once I have that all figured out I will update more on the form and function on the WoW side of this mouse. So for now you will have to just wait on ym review.

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Well here it is the New mouse I have for my upcoming year in Korea. This mouse is awesome now if only I could figure out how to bind the keys in WoW. Here is the best part about me getting this mouse. The retail price of this mouse is 99.99usd, I had originally planned on purchasing this mouse online where it can be found for under 90usd. Well I got impatient and decided to go down to my local Circuit City(CC) and Bestbuy(BB) and see if one was cheaper than the other. So I go to CC first and they have a sign by the display model that says there is a mail in rebate for 20 dollars so after the rebate the mouse is 79.99usd. So I am pumped online pricing at my fingertips, small problem there are no mice available in the immediate vicinity, I find the nearest store Rep and he notifies me they have moved them all to the endcap. I find the display and notice no rebate sign, Dilemma falls upon me, do I get it anyway or bite the bullet and order online. I take the plunge and grab the mouse to purchase. I make my way to the cashier and inform her of the sign I saw for the rebate, she asks me if I could get the sign for her so I kindly oblige. When I return she takes the sign from me rips it up and tells me well your the last person that will get that discount and she promptly price matches the mouse for the rebate and voila instant rebate. You gotta love people that miss the small details that cost them money. Anyway I would like to publicly thank the lovely CC cashier that handled the situation and saved me 20 bucks. I will post more on the mouse when I figure out how to bind the keys.

Long Time No Post

Well here I am posting to my blog which hasn't happened in a long time. I never left WoW as per my last post. Due to gracious gift giving I was kept in play for two months and am now back on track. My main Drowurden a Tauren Warrior is at 69 and a half, my main alt Andolynn is a 33 Blood Elf Hunter and is slowly progressing. I respecced Drow to full protection and don't really like it since my Instance running is very limited I will be going back to Arms pretty soon. I had a major issue with Andolynn today, I logged on and my fave pet Fang otherwise known as Humar the Pridelord was not in my stable and I was pissed, I immediately opened a ticket and the GM's got things fixed. Now you might be thinking whats the big deal just go and train him again. Well there in lies the problem, Humar is a rare cat and is on a very long respawn timer, a guildy of mine spent several days camping his known area before finally getting him, also he is level 25 or so and I have him now at 32 that is quite a few levels to have to regain. Also I dropped jewelcrafting and picked up engineering so far the easist crafting profession to level. Well thats all for now.
