Link to druid haste breakpoints as of patch 4.1 - June 20th, 2011. Nice spreadsheet from The Inconspicuous Bear detailing the amount of spell haste a restoration druid needs to get extra ticks from healing spells like rejuvenation, tranquility, and wild growth.

Thought I'd link the Popol Vuh text exerpts here for all to read. Title page of oldest known Popol Vuh manuscript Further reading is located at sacred-text.com. While you're there, check out the Mayan Calendar info. I have a bit of background in Mayan folklore and the whole world seems interested in this 2012 apocalypse stuff. This text is often inaccurately referred to as the Mayan Book of the Dead. A more accurate translation is Book of the People of Book or the Community. Please do us all a favor and familiarize yourself with this text before pretending to be an expert on the end of the world. The following excerpt comes from Wikipedia.
  • Popol Vuh (Popol Wu'uj [poˈpol wuˈʔuχ] in modern K'iche') is a corpus of mytho-historical narratives of the Post Classic Quiché kingdom in Guatemala's western highlands. The title translates as "Book of the Community," "Book of Counsel," or more literally as "Book of the People." Popol Vuh's prominent features are its creation myth, its diluvian [flood] suggestion, its epic tales of the Hero Twins Hunahpú and Xbalanqué, and its genealogies. The myth begins with the exploits of anthropomorphic ancestors and concludes with a regnal [*A regnal year is a year of the reign of a sovereign, from the Latin regnum meaning kingdom, rule] genealogy, perhaps as an assertion of divine right rule. As with other texts (e.g. the Chilam Balam), a great deal of Popol Vuh's significance lies in the scarcity of early accounts dealing with Mesoamerican mythologies. Popol Vuh's fortuitous survival is attributable to the 18th century Dominican friar Francisco Ximénez [...] was written by a Christianized native of Guatemala some time in the seventeenth century, and was copied in the Kiché language, in which it was originally written, by a monk of the Order of Predicadores, one Francisco Ximenes, who also added a Spanish translation and scholia.

or how you too can become an internet celebrity
jtv stream
  • downloads: Vhscrcap (VH Screen Capture Driver)- caps yer screen der (this has a watermark in bottom-right corner. Older versions don't. Thats all i'm gonna say about that). This is great free software and i believe you can pay for a current version w/ out the watermark?
  • Flash Media Encoder - I prefer 2.5 with the *batch file method *(multiboxing.com tutorial), however you can't get 2.5 anymore on adobe's website. Aren't I helpful?
  • Stream Settings: upload speed: .95mb/s Since my upload rate is limited to around .95mb/s (950kb/s) i upload my game stream at 15 to 20 fps using the VP6 codec @ 900kb/s using the huge datarate window (their flag not mine). I usually game on my lcd tv via hdmi at 1280x720p converted to 640/360. I use an external usb audio device which combines my mic w/ the line out from my gaming computer to create the audio for the stream. Other times, if my internet is just too slow on the upload, I have a martini and watch this over and over.
  • More info : I have some favorites on JTV. DKStoke (he does WoW and lives in the Netherlands, isn't that wierd?), cosmo (also wow). And my current favorite is Dan's Gaming Stream since he has impressive stream quality with very limited bandwidth.

WoW, blogging, ftp
pwnt I'm the kind of guy that appreciates a good comeback.

Well played sir.

Whats your favorite FTP program? Trying out some different ones and liking filezilla for the free-ness... free-ness you pervert. Its a rhetorical question because there is no way to post your 'feedback' on this site. This is my site. But answer the question in your head.

Blogging is really stupid. - posted from an IPHONE on Tuesday @ 10:05 p.m. at Starbucks!
