Past, Present, Future...

Monday, January 15, 2002

In my last post I spoke on the new game Dark Age of Camelot. Well, that fad has already passed. I think that MMORPG games are just not for me. [NOTE: MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game] Regardless of my thoughts on the genre, I am still predicting that I'll be very addicted to the upcoming World of Warcraft from everybody's favorite can't-go-wrong company, Blizzard Entertainment. I mean, seriously, the day Blizzard makes a less than awesome game is the day I become the US president. (Not that I would somehow cause them to make a bad game, mind you)

Despite my disinterest with DAoC, my interest with Shattered Galaxy is only growing... I am currently a top officer and webmaster of the greatest, and maybe the largest regiment on the most powerful planet. If you are a Shattered Galaxy player interested in joining, check out the Join IC section at the Ituron Cavalry website for a rules listing. Right now we are quite a large regiment, and unless you are a veteran player, or high level, your chances of getting in are slim, but feel free to contact us regardless. :)

For those of you who are interested, college continues along. Somewhere along the line I seem to have finished all the technical courses before I met a challenge... Well, I suppose there were those quiz questions about the bgsound and marquee HTML elements, which no one should ever, ever use...

I have begun to further contemplate the idea of becoming a teacher, instead of doing web design... sure, it's crap pay instead of great pay, but it carries with it great personal rewards, and the opportunity to show these youngster designers what fools they've been designing solely for IE.

Ok, here it is broken down for those that think IE is as good as it gets: Mozilla is faster (both starting and loading sites), follows all proper standards, so things are done as intended by the World Wide Web Consortium, it has great features like ad-blocking, pop-up blocking, a password manager, form auto-fills, and MUCH better security than IE and Outlook. Last I heard viruses were still 99% only for Microsoft Outlook. Mozilla is immune to all these. Oh, and it's skinable too, a lot of people like that. I haven't tried any besides the two that come with it though, since besides the default, which makes it look like Netscape 4.7, it has a great skin named "Modern." Anyways, I'm gonna stop ranting about it before this post gets any longer than the monster it already is...
