or maybe something uplifting…

Wierd, but as I was sitting here writing my last post, I heard the level sound effect come from WoW (running in Wine on one of my other KDE desktops). I flipped over to it and it says my pet’s loyalty has increased. He went from Loyalty Level 2 (Unruly) to Loyalty Level 3 (Submissive). So apparently loyalty increases with just time spent being happy. Keep your pet fed.

I’ve been spending some time leveling my new pet Ravager up. I found a spot that suits me just fine. Right at the western edge of the Vul’Gol Ogre Mound in Duskwood just east of Addle’s Stead there are a number of level 29 and 30 ogres. Most are warriors but there are a couple casters. All of them are easy for my 36 hunter but also give XP for my pet Ravager. Now the Ravager just hit level 15 and I’ve only killed the same 5 ogres about four times. So my strategy’s been working pretty well. I got some food in Goldshire and parked my hunter in this spot last time I was on and now that I have a few minutes I’ve put on some levels for the pet.

The LG-550 looks like a pretty snazzy phone. There are a lot of pretty snazzy phones these days. Too bad they’re all locked down by the carriers in such unreasonable ways. My sister just got one of these and she was a little frustrated trying to get music on to it. Apparently it doesn’t just show up as a drive like all good USB-attached memory devices should. It has a slot for a microSD card and it came with the microSD card and an adapter to make that fit in an SD card slot. So from the instant message it sounds like she was able to get some music on the card and play from the card on the phone. I’m glad that works, but really, on a phone with Bluetooth and USB this should be a lot easier. Clearly the phone could easily allow access to the files on it (whether it’s wallpapers, video, ringtones, contacts, notes, calendars or whatever) through any methods just by using stuff that’s built in to PCs and Macs for accessing memory devices like cameras and thumb drives.

Anyhow, hope this helps someone else out there avoid paying for extra software they don’t need.
