As of last Monday it’s become the former, not latter. No new news beyond that, just income and whatnot.

I’ve got a slew of WoW stuff I just never pushed, I’ll get to that at some point. I’m still struggling with a good and simple way to manage graphics. I’ve got the wow stuff in a folder with the perl album scripts ran against them and it works ok to generate blog-sized thumbs for posting, but the size of everything is kind of a pain. Stuff I’m posting nowhere but in the blog are actually going in the WordPress uploader thing which seems to be working fine. At least those will be “easily” portable.

Maybe Picasa web albums or Flikr or somesuch would work. Bleh.

As promised, more news re: Professor Plums.

I covered our antics on the Sunday following the patch, but neglected to mention TK on Thursday. For those of you playing our home game yes, Void Reaver with invisible orbs does, in fact, suck ass. We diverted to Solarian who I was promised was “easy”. Yeah, so they were right. Welcome to the 1st 1st kill of the streak.

Nothing overly amazing lewt-wise, we had some shards and some equippers, same old song and dance. So fast-forward past Sunday’s Magtheridon 1st and to the Tuesday Serpentshrine raid. What? What you say? Is that our 1st Morogrim Tidewalker kill? Yeap.

A nice surprise in the cracker-jack box for our 1st – grats me. Talon of Azshara

The WoW 2.4 patch hit, launching the Isle of Quel’Danas content and a slew of fixes/nerfs/bugs/etc. More on that stuff later, but for now, I’ll lead off with our first Magtheridon kill. Why yes, yes he is EZ-mode trivial now, we know. We could have killed him before, we just couldn’t get the bodies in front of him. At any rate, he’s dead now – suck it.

From what I’ve read and/or heard, Blizzard noticed the people just plain weren’t doing Mag anymore or (as in our case) never had done him and wanted to encourage more kills. I get that, I really do. As we enter the home stretch towards Lich King the mighty bliz wants to make sure there’s not a repeat of Burning Crusade with the vast majority of their players never seeing what had been described as some of their very best work. Works for us. I got me a Pit Lord’s Satchel with a natural 100.

More to follow…

The upgrade is done, but some plugins and theme crap have to be updated/fixed. Also, I seem to have deleted something, somewhere. Not sure what, yet. The new version has a much-improved (and non-plugin) media manager thing so I’m slowly converting some of the blog-only graphics to that so some links may be toast while I complete the move.
