Omegle

Omegle is  website that lets you join another random person in chat. I wasn’t really interested at first but I was bored while watching another episode of Flashpoint and someone had just linked it in IRC so I decided to give it a go.

Redoing my Computers

So, a few weeks ago I decided it was time to change my software setup. At the time I had the Windows 7 beta running on my desktop and laptop and FreeBSD running on my server. I switched it up by putting OS X back on my laptop (yay hackintosh!) and this time with sound working.

I also brought my server into my room and have started using it for TV and such. I realized that it was being used almost exclusively for storage and since it had a lot more power than that I wanted to use it for something else. That combined with my problem with a few games not liking dual-monitors made me recommission it as a Debian box which is sitting in my room now. Whenever I’m playing games or other things on my desktop I use that box for TV. Apart from that it still serves the exact same purpose as before, but it’s also easier to maintain with Debian.

Recent Gaming Endeavours

And that title of course means what I’ve done recently in WoW.

I hit 75 last Sunday night and that felt good because now I finally have the shadowpriest ability that allows me to do massive AoE damage while still in shadowform. Since 65 I’ve increased my haste and SP considerably but I’ve dropped about 10% in crit chance. Now I get more consistent damage which is nice. Here is my Apocryphai’s stats if you want to check them out, I’m a Blood Elf Shadowpriest on Mug’Thol.

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are little peices of javascript disguised as bookmarks that you can run on any site. They let you do things like Resize forms. You can test it out by dragging it into your bookmarks toolbar and trying it out on the comments section.

Other good bookmarklets I’ve come across are:

  • BugMeNot for getting past registration quickly on large sites.
  • is.gd for making urls smaller, similar to tinyurl except an even smaller url.
  • You can also download videos from youtube and other places with this link (not a bookmarklet)
