Monthly Update

Posted on November 9, 2008 by John

Or so it seems.  I really don’t mean to wait so long between posts, but it seems to happen every month. Here’s a quick update on what’s going on in my world. New job is still great and I’m loving the travel. I hit Silver with Hilton and am over halfway to Silver with Delta, …

Added Calendar

Posted on October 3, 2008October 24, 2010 by John

I realized all my travel with work is hard enough for me to keep up with, much less everyone else. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to update everyone of where I have or will be traveling. Since my friends are spread all over the country, and some overseas, I will try …

Next Age of MMOs?

Posted on September 1, 2008 by John

I have been losing interest in WoW lately, only occasionally logging in to PvP with friends when asked. I know the expansion is coming out soon, but I’m sure it’s going to be more of the same. The weekends are spent on CoX (City of Heroes/Villains) or C&C3 (Command & Conquer 3), since this is …

New Job

Posted on September 1, 2008September 14, 2008 by John

I started a new job last week and am loving it so far. It’s nice to have a challenge again, learning skills that will continue to be useful on down the road. The company is Manhattan Associates and contrary to what it sounds, I will still be living in Atlanta. The company started in Manhattan …

Spam Bots

Posted on July 30, 2008 by John

I hate them. They are basically internet terrorists dropping bombs of explicit links on innocent victims. My blog is hit regularly but my protection settings block them while the few that get through sit in the background awaiting my approval/deletion. Apparently my Wiki project is not so fortunate. Most of the spam is blocked, but …

Red Shirt Fridays

Posted on July 11, 2008 by John

If the Red shirt thing is new to you, read below for how it went for a man…   Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together. After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who’d been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), …

Forum Signatures & Gaming

Posted on June 10, 2008October 8, 2008 by John

Throughout the history of gaming there have been websites and forums dedicated to informing the masses. I have met many new friends through these and love to keep in contact with them even after the games are gone. The one group that stands out the most is Salslak, which originated as a SWG (Star Wars …

Summer Movies

Posted on May 13, 2008July 11, 2008 by John

Every summer I make a list of movies I’m eagerly awaiting and this year is no exception. Iron Man was a Blockbuster smash hit and I saw it twice during the opening weekend. I am a HUGE Iron Man fan and he’s always been my favorite comic book hero – flawed, human, realistic. If you …

Site Updates

Posted on April 26, 2008 by John

I updated WordPress, which  fixed a bug with aNobii Plugin and now they both work. I cleaned up some backend maintenance and the site should load a bit faster. aNobii works like Flickr, but with books. My library is my most prized possession and I am in the long process of cataloging  everything I own. …
