Yadda Yadda Whoop Whoop!

Water Damage (area shown approx 2 inches)

… in my ceiling this morning.  Located directly beneath the upstairs bath, the conclusion is pretty simple and I cross my fingers hoping it not to be too traumatic.  If I had a dime for every time something weird happens I’d be a millionaire in sterling currency.  Here is the water damage (left) so after reading the Reader’s Digest DIY Manual that my father-in-law gave me, along with a few websites, I decided it was time to investigate this further.

Armed with a punch saw and my recently gained knowledge, I poked a hole into the ceiling.

Water poured out.

Dammit, I should have read and APPLIED what I read regarding getting a bucket first.  I ran around like a headless chicken and using my an inverted stool my son uses to clean his teeth I was able to catch most of the water while I emptied the garbage from the kitchen and used that to catch the remaining water that came out.  Quickly the dripping water came to a stop and I felt I was ready to poke a second, small hole.  More water but right into the bucket this time.  Score.

With the release of Patch 3.3 today then you will be wanting to update all your add-ons, remove some that are now covered by the new interface (such as Questhelper as Blizz have implemented their own freeing up LOTS of memory QH hogged – woot!).  There is one add-on, however, that is possibly the greatest you could ever snag – even if you are not after Loremaster but want to find those last few missing quests in Northrend to milk the continent for all the gold it offers!  It is called EveryQuest.

Using the new QuestHistory API this add-on uses your quest history to display quests – and their status – from any category in game.  Failed?  Abandoned?  Dropped?  Completed?  Now you can find them! It lists quests you haven’t done in zones making Loremaster a lead pipe cinch!

Other neat features is that it tracks date and times of completed quests, how many times you have completed particular dailies along with the most recent time stamp.  It also integrates with LightHeaded which provides you with in-game access to WoWhead, NPC locs and waypoints.

Although not fully confirmed yet as the waypoint integration was with TomTom, with the release of the new Blizzard waypoint system (and EveryQuest being 3.3 ready) I would think that they will work harmoniously together.  All-in-all a must have!

Jaina Proudmore in Icecrown

Icecrown Citadel: The Frozen Halls

Looming over the stark wastes of Northrend, Icecrown Citadel awaits those who would see the Lich King and his Scourge brought low and the threat they pose wiped from the face of Azeroth. The heroes who venture within will face some of the greatest horrors yet seen. But before you burst into the front gate of the citadel, an alternate means of entry beckons. Journey through three separate wings of the new five-player dungeon, Icecrown Citadel: The Frozen Halls, and follow Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner into the Lich King’s domain.

Icecrown Citadel: The Frozen Throne

All across Northrend, many battles have been fought against the vile Scourge. Countless lives have been lost since the Alliance and the Horde first reached these frozen wastes, but the champions of Azeroth continue to march forward — and Icecrown Citadel, the cornerstone of the Scourge’s power and the home base of the Lich King, is their final target. Tirion Fordring and the Argent Crusade have forged an accord with Darion Mograine and the Knights of the Ebon Blade to form the Ashen Verdict. This coalition’s strongest combatants, along with the champions of the Alliance and the Horde, will lead the charge against the citadel. In the new Icecrown Citadel raid dungeon, Azeroth’s mightiest will face terrifying challenges before ascending to the Frozen Throne, where the Lich King and his runeblade, Frostmourne, await to deliver the heroes to their deaths….

Great piece of music and some decent editing.  Two thumbs up from me.

Australian – Perfect Neighbours spoof from Fry & Laurie.

In the 2 days leading up to halloween, 40 of the hits on the site from search engines google and bing (really? you use that microsoft crap?) were searches on how to make your own costumes.  23 were for pirate outfits, 12 were for cowboys and 5 were for FBI costumes.

I lol’d.  This relates to data from several years ago we carried on Le Portal. The thing is, after sifting through the images data-mined (results below) I can’t help but wonder why the heck the FBI had the fewest hits.  I don’t care what your taste or orientation is, there is no way the pirate or cowboy is something you’d want to check out, dress up as or even remotely fantasize about!  Cowrate and Piboys after the break. /shiver
