The new 1.5.0 World of Warcraft patch is out!
With the new patch they included Battle Grounds. So far I have played in four Capture the Flag games and only won one of them. It is hard to flight a Horde group that is one guild Vs a pickup group. Exoteria, Pam and Relshar did help in the last one. I will need to get Sage up to speed with a dedicated 10 man CTF group!! :P

So today Mac OSX 10.4 arrived at work :P

The install over 10.3 was seamless and so far im very impressed with its speed and look. Im am trying out the new Dash Board feature and a new widget called "Dash Blog". The widget is letting me post this entry, but it does not support pictures that I can see. Still it looks awsome and I am digging the new OS.

So where have I been for the last 4 months in the gaming world? Its a small place called World of Warcraft, or WOW for short.

My first intro into a MMORPG was Lineage. I played it for 2 1/2 years (last year of it off and on). While playing Lineage I read that one of my favorite game developers was also making a MMORPG. So of course It peaked my interest. A buddy of mine Codeofficer was also intrigued by the idea of a new game. So with help from a friend (thanks goodkin), he was able to attend E3 in May. After a while of chatting with Blizzard he managed to get 10 people into the closed beta of the game!

A few years ago back in the old Mac OS8 days I tried out PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) when it came out with a free version. PGP is a closed source encryption program that lets you encrypt and or digitally sign documents and email. Now days on there is an open source version of it called GnuPG ( GNU Privacy Guard). GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP. I love the idea of using encryption in email and being able to sign them. I am getting people I work with and friends to try it out. I think someday we will all need to use encryption in one form or another. :)
