Job News


I left my job at Xfire last month to work at a company that I couldn’t speak of until today. It was my first day on the job as a Community Manager for Guild Wars. How cool is it that I’ve been writing about the game as a player and now I’m working at ArenaNet? […]

Still Alive


If it wasn’t already obvious from the lack of content, I’ve been too busy to post. Blogging will be sparse for at least a month, possibly more. More on why later. Watch this space.
My gaming computer’s been broken for a couple of weeks and I haven’t had time to deal with it yet.
I have not […]

Bad Behaviour Behaving Badly


Yesterday visitors to my blog, including me, discovered that we were unable to leave comments. I also discovered that I was unable to execute any administrative functions. We were greeted with the following message:
Error 403
We’re sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /wp-comments-post.php on this server.

Happy November 1


Hallow’s End has come and gone in Guild Wars. The two masks this year are much better than last year’s offerings, the Wicked Hat and the Furious Pumpkin Crown. I disliked the Furious Pumpkin Crown so much that I simply destroyed mine without showing it to the festival hat maker. In other words, I cannot […]

Ads


I’ve been asked to consider displaying graphical advertising on this blog, on the sidebar. Any thoughts? I suppose this doesn’t matter for people reading through RSS, but I’d still like your opinions.

After-PAX Travel and Rest Period


PAX is over. It was largely awesome. I will not go into detail now, because once I start writing I won’t be able to stop. Plus, I really need to go to sleep. I will write about the ArenaNet panel at PAX, the Guild Wars party, my conversations with people from the Guild Wars development […]

Illness, PAX, and Other Things


A few things:
1) I have been ill recently. I had to go into Urgent Care on Friday, and now I am on some nice medication, which should fix what’s wrong. There are a couple of other health problems that have been slowing me down, too, but medication isn’t the best route for those problems.
2) I […]

The Week in Not-Blogging and Gaming


I’ve been quite busy over the past week. I have some new responsibilities at work, a new flatmate (my generally non-gaming brother), and a friend is visiting for a spell. All activities related to these have supplanted blogging, and to some extent, keeping up with gaming news and gaming. As usual, I do try to […]

Shiny New Theme


I have a new WordPress theme for my blog.
For the people reading from RSS, the new theme looks like this:

The header graphic is customisable. The current header displays concept art from Guild Wars Nightfall.
The default header graphic is shown in this screenshot:

This is the previous theme, which was up from January 2006 to May 2007:

Web 2.0 Overdose


A real post to come later tonight after work, honest.
For now, I have several oh-so cutting-edge Web 2.0 things to share.
1) I am on Twitter. Updated with the minutiae of my life, when I remember. Not that anyone cares, but in case you’re bored.
2) I have a tumblelog on Tumblr. There isn’t anything there yet. […]
