The Geek and I

Very odd, got a report that my site has a problem according to their safe-site analysis.

Now, that’s all great and dandy, but the data returned from the link above (Tuedsay, June 24th, 2008 at 18:20 CST) doesn’t give any reason except:

Of the 9 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 06/23/2008, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 06/19/2008.

Malicious software includes 13 trojan(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 3 new processes on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 2 domain(s), including 61.155.8.0, wp-stats-php.info.

Over at the Notag site, you’ll find Linghu/компютри втора употребаGileon expounding on the wonders that are WoW.

You see, we play together many nights after 11:15PM Central, either me on my huntard or my paladin, and normally he is on his huntard.

We have done a lot of things over the last few months together that we did not do before.  For example, we tried to 2man AQ20 (his post) - and failed (while laughing).

A great question, one of which I can not answer.

I have this blog because I wanted some place to spew <whatever> <whenever> I wanted, the issue is…I have had not a lot to say.

In fact, most of what I use the web for nowadays is to read up on things that are of interest to me, from World of Warcraft to different configurations of Postfix, Apache, and the recent changes to FreeBSD and Debian.

Yes, it is true, epic mounts in World of Warcraft are faster than the original mount you are eligible for at level 40.

I did not think that the extra 40% increase would really make a difference in how things feel as you are in the world of walkcraft.  Well, it is noticeable.  Quite a bit actually.

For now, I have a Swift Orange Raptor (I think that is the name) as I still need 15 more honor marks from Alterac Valley to get my battlegroup epic mount (I already have the 30 marks from Arathi Basin and 30 marks from Warsong Gultch).

I do wish the normal epic mounts looked cooler, but if they did, then no one would do the PVP to get the BG epic, and I want the BG epic…I really do.  Probably a wolf or something fun like that.

Well, what a fun patch they released.

As a hunter, I have/had a few changes I need to incorporate into my normal routines, like with flares (used to detect stealthed mobs or PVP) - 20 second duration, 20 second cool down, which means no longer can I have 2 flares running at once. Kind of a bummer.

But having Mend Pet no longer channeled will be very nice. No more being interrupted while trying to heal my pet! A nice change.

The auction house changes are decent, but my favorite UI change is the profession window - the ability to search items I can craft is going to be a HUGE timesaver.
