Dr. Who to a phone near you

Well, your mobille anyway... But tis old news now. Been busy to blog lately. Anyhoo, I just shudder with the idea how much it would cost to watch an episode?!? Given that using GPRS (and if you are lucky to use 3G without losing signal) is sooo expensive here. Prob work better in Japan with manga on phones soon (maybe I am wrong that it could be cheaper over there).

WoW-madness

So I finally got my mount (for some piccies), and have been resting from playing it for awhile (busy work deadline... sigh). But good thing about WoW, it does not punish you for resting, it rewards you for resting (although, I am paying them, and if I don't play, I feel I don't get the value out of it.... I am never happy, am I? Heh.)

Saw some articles about China's 3 hour limit, which I think is a bit OTT. But at least they know there is some sort of problem with lots of folks over there who get so addicted, they become tardy, isolated from friends and families, bascially losing themselves in the game too much. I personally like the escape, but not that much. I would get tired, and would log off and go to sleep. It's the something to look forward to when I am not doing other stuff.

But I hope this won't happen to me!

Google Talk

I suspect most people have heard of Google Talk by now... I knew there were rumours, and this morning, I logged into my account at work as usual, your typical work morning (and a cup of coffee). And surprise, surprise, I found multiple invitations to join Google Talk. I have to say it's basic. No smilies (who needs them anyway... teehee, I do actually!). It's a bit big, the main google talk dialog does not hide itself, you can roll-up open chats. I still feel mighty attached to my iChat on my Mac though...

Have not tried the voip yet to other google talkers. Still, I was curious. Had it running at work today (yup, we IM at work, it works well if used properly). If you have not tried Google Talk, check it out.... go on, I know you are curious. Go on, go on, go on...

I want my mount! I'm lvl 40!

You know... just hit level 40 for my Human Warrior in WoW, and this comic springs to mind. I feel so silly running around places without a mount ('cause I did not save up early enough). Well, I start saving just around level 39.. up to 34 gold pieces now. Heh, around 10G per level. Why, oh why did I leave it sooo late? It can be compared to real life, no? Yup... save when you are young... and you may get your car/house (or both). Heh, well the likelihood of getting a house in Dublin is impossible to young adults nowadays, no matter how much you save. Apart from broadening the band to more people getting 100% mortgages, now people can get 120% mortgages!!! Well, at least in virtual world, I get to pillage and loot my rewards to get to my initial mount. Lots of slashy, slashy.... ahhh, such stress relief!
