Lovely Britches Mate

Horrendous, i didn’t write anything yesterday. I’m hoping to get a run of 28 days, can’t see that ever happening. I’m such a forgetful person, seriously. Talk about absent minded.

It’s terrible but when I have 50 or more articles to read on a bloglines page I tend to get about half way through the page before I end up skipping past masses with my eyes only noticing those entries with pretty pictures, it’s not really a conscious thing. So, more pretty pictures people. Even if they aren’t relevant to anything.

I gave the kiss of life to my warcraft account earlier this month, well I paid for a month’s play but I’ve barely touched it, I’ve probably only got a few days left as well Bit annoying. TBO the only reason I did it was an overbearing urge to see how it played on my iBook. A really cool thing about it is that blizzard were thoughtful enough to include both the PC and Mac version on the same disks, so i didn’t need to buy the game again. And it runs pretty damn well on the iBook which is a testament to blizzards coding skills. And of the iBook’s design of course. This particular model has 32mb of GPU RAM for the game to play with, anything less and warcraft probably would have suffered from some visual glitches. In fact the Radeon Mobility 9550/32MB is quite powerful considering this is Apple’s lowest end notebook. The equivalent vaio’s have dodgy turbocached geforce go’s that share the main ram.

I have the feeling I might mentioned the above before. Ah well, oh yeah and a oddity, on OS-X, when you only have access to a single button mouse/trackpad you hold control to do a right-click. But, in warcraft you do Command-click instead. weird huh? I wonder if apple will start putting mighty-trackpads on their ‘books. By that I mean a 2-button affair, but with the appearance of 1 button.
