Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 24, 2008 6:00pm PDTI got around to checking out Google Chrome
a bit more today and I was pretty impressed. The migrate of settings/passwords/etc worked
quite well and I was right at home. Of course the lack of downloadthemall and firebug
makes it a no-go for me, but if I didnt actually work on websites all day and just browsed
them, it would be great.

Lastly, we'll hopefully be seeing a fairly significant change around here in the next
few weeks as we are going to begin integrating Shacker polling info in to individual news
items via a cute little shack
nugget. This is the first step in a broader plan to start a deeper integration of what
you guys think about games in to what we publish here. Everyone hold your breath!

So, uh, I wrote up a post about using XNA Game Studio. Well. I wrote up a post about XNA Game Studio and then I told some stories and gave informative (!) information about memory management in C#. I didn't provide many specifics as I didn't think the article really warranted me ranting about making pools of objects during program initialization or level loading and using those as much as possible throughout the life of a program. That stuff is boring to talk about.
Anyway: http://www.polycat.net/1270/xna-game-studio/
Ignore the fact that I'm using some Wordpress theme I found last week and have, thus far, done very little to claim it as my own other than pee on it like my dogs taught me to do growing up.

So, who has been following the beta changes? What are you excited about for your class? As a huntard, I love the Viper Aspect changes (more like evocate but with reduced damage shots), should make mana management much more bearable, whereas now it sucks for us. Dropping the cast time on Steady Shot is amazing too, it's the way it should be - GCD swing timers on all standard shots.
Pet talents look really cool too, though I'm worried raid pets will be fragile since they have to go for all dps talents with no room for tank ones. Be fun getting a turtle to off tank 5 mans though. Bear tanking (my alt) sounds great too - chug pots, bark skin, Frenzy and no more crushings means we can MT raids!

Gigabyte EP35-DS3R
Core2Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz
4GB DDR2-800
Nvidia 8800GT
Was thinking about grabbing an E8500, what could I expect overclocking this chip? Also would it really be noticeable at all moving from a E6600?

Hopefully it is more solid than Season 4, which seemed a bit confused as to whether episodes should actually take place in the office, or at some random location. Regardless, I need more Pam in my life. And Michael Scott.

I get my first payday since I moved to Germany soon (on Monday) and even though the iPhone tarriffs are ridiculous I'm going to buy one, just having googlemaps when I need them seems like a great way for me to be able to navigate around Frankfurt
So I have questions in reply for any iphone shackers
