WoW – pushing my limits

Posted on January 30th, 2006 by Tyme White in Technology

I have a couple of toons on World of Warcraft but for the most part I play two rogues Shelby and Reynna. Shelby is level 54 and Reynna is level 17, on different servers, both full at the moment.
Anyway, Shelby finally made level 54 and a reader whispered to me, “Why do you always create [...]

Think before you write

Posted on January 25th, 2006 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I received two emails last week that saddened me. I’m not going to reproduce the emails here but with their permission I will share their experience. One woman went to Vegas two years ago and she hit some machines totaling $1200. She did not receive a 1099 because she hit on multiple machines. In her [...]

Tyme’s Thoughts: Learning XHTML and CSS2

Posted on January 25th, 2006 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I was talking to Colin today he mentioned something I’ve been meaning to deal with for a long time and have been postponing. He mentioned that in the comments all the comments were listed as #1. You could not imagine my surprise because for me, they were listed numerically as they should be. This caused [...]

FeedDemon 2.0 Beta 1

Posted on January 17th, 2006 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

FeedDemon 2.01 Beta 1 has been released for registered users. Remember, this is a beta. Do not download and install unless you feel comfortable playing with something that quite might possibly be broken. If you do install it, back up your feeds, install in a different directory…you know the usual precautions.
This version is very different [...]

WIN lets writers own their words

Posted on January 15th, 2006 by Tyme White in Business

From Jason Calacanis:
“I did mention at some point we shifted back to letting the authors own their words right? That’s going to be a big advantage we have over traditional media going forward. For example, if the author of the New York Times Style section–or Defamer for that matter–worked at WIN they could keep all [...]

SWG improvements? I don’t think so

Posted on January 15th, 2006 by Tyme White in Technology

Computer Gaming World has a review of Star Wars Galaxies. Sony Online Entertainment revamped the game recently. This about sums it up – straight from CGW:
SWG vets really got the shaft with this update. I first logged in to find all of my old weapons – which had originally cost a fortune – listed as [...]

The Sims 2: Open for Business – spare me

Posted on January 4th, 2006 by Tyme White in Technology

Yes, I played The Sims. Yes, I have Sims 2. I have some of the expansion packs but I quickly caught on what the real deal was: EA was going to expansion pack me to death instead of releasing a game that could be the best it could be.
And I gave up.
The Sims 2: Open [...]

RSS feeds need to link to the source…period.

Posted on January 3rd, 2006 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

Bink.nu is a very good source for Microsoft information. I noticed that lately the feeds do not contain the link to the source. To see the source I have to go to Bink, then click on the link. Let me clear – full feed, no reference on the feed. You know how I feel about [...]

When commercial blogs get personal

Posted on January 3rd, 2006 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

A new network launched – Erati, a division of BlogMedia. So I’m checking out the network and I am assuming things are slow because of the holidays. That’s to be expected….what’s up with all the Scrivs’ posts? Blogerati is: “Blogerati is about blogging intelligently. Creating smart blog networks. This is the place I pick apart [...]
