Hey everyone! After a brief hiatus while I pulled the old content offline and archived it, Ramblings is back up and running. I took this opportunity to destroy the old databases and start over entirely from scratch. While this will have no effect on anyone reading this, it will save my buddy Adam a lot of hair, and me a lot of rum payments.
I'm really excited to see the 3.1 patch came out for WoW today. It's going to be hard to wait for work to get done so I can hop on and see how things have changed. I'm a bit worried that the Exploding Shot nerf is going to hurt too much. But honestly, this is the first patch where the hunter nerf bat wasn't too bad on its face. It's not like they're nerfing our DPS by 30% like the last patch. :: coughs ::
Elissa has only a few weeks until she'll be done with her thesis and submits it to her committee. We're both incredibly excited about this because it means we'll be moving back to MN pretty soon! She has to wait a month until she can defend, but it looks like she's on track for June 13th graduation. w00t!
Ok, time for me to get back to work -- just wanted to let everyone know that Ramblings is back online.
I should note that part of blowing the database away means all your previous user information has been lost. So if you had "signed up" to my blog before, you'll have to do so again. Sorry about that!
I think you'll be lucky if the servers are back up by the time you are done with work. Last I heard, they will give us an update at 4pm Pacific. Good thing I am burned out on WoW.
@Brady -- yeah, they've certainly not instilled much confidence in me that this is going to go smoothly. And you're right, they probably won't have the servers up and running in the next 10 minutes, which is when I get off of work (I woke up early today). Sad day!
Any home for the old content yet?
Have a nice day.
Dirk
@Dirk -- the old content is sitting on my desktop. ;-) I'm actually exploring a few options in terms of pushing the old content back out. Once I've gotten something finalized, I'll be sure to talk about it here. :-)
Interestingly enough, Google Reader still has your old content. Not sure how that works - do they really cache it all? Seems like it - the links to this page fail, but I can read the posts inline.
As does www.archive.org :)
Where and when is the old archive available.. would like the archive on RB
