Roundup of stuff

[slycat]

Just making a random post of various stuff I wanted to get down and make a post about.

Firstly, just wanted to say I went to have a game of World of Warcraft this evening with calgor but the realm was full... Now Calgor suggests it was because I was a trial member, but the queue I was in waiting to connect kept on going up.  Saying I was like 80+ in the queue waiting 60mins to connect and stuff.  Come 9pm, (after disconnecting and reconnecting and trying other things) I was finally able to get on.  Even if it was because I am a trial member, penalising people who are considering buying the game isn't a great idea.  I'm wondering if I'll be unable to connect most week days before 9pm.

Secondly, I had a quick chat with my fursuit maker chapeljax this evening.  More good news to report as he is currently "Finishing up the paws and head, and minor hemjobs.".  So hopefully I'll have some photos in the next few days.  Regardless, it's so relieving to know it's actually coming along now and I am quite confident I'll have it for EF.

Finally, it's the first ever HantsFur meet held outside Hampshire on the 24th.  As organised by myself, it'll be held in Bournemouth and further details can be found: here.  Looks like there should be a reasonable attendance at the meet.  It's just a shame the weather doesn't look as good as I would have hoped as the weather forecast reports light showers and max temperature of 17C.  Ah well, it should still be good.  Be nice to get some mini-golf in as that's always fun.  Would be cool to do fursuit minigolf too sometime perhaps.  Although I expect it'd be hard to look down at the ball with muzzles and the like in the way!

Also a shame it's on the same weekend as the Sheffield meet, otherwise i'd make the trip down south.

On WoW connections: You'll find it's the same on a lot of servers - before a certain time (and at weekends) there'll be a lot of kids playing, so the servers tend to be a lot harder to connect to... Shame really :(

Yeah, considering I got on at 9pm, I figured it was due to kids. It's not encouraging me to sue the service tho.

Youll get on a lot better if you join a server that isn't listed as "Full" ;) ... I cant say ive ever had that problem myself... and my server is listed as full, so yours must be absolutely choca.

I think it may be due to the fact that I joined a server after knowing it was full. Maybe it gives preference to those who joined the server before it attaiend "full" status. Then again, it could well just penalise trialists. However, I'll be picking up a copy at the weekend so I'll have full member privilages :)

There will be previews of "Over the Hedge" at some cinemas. We could try getting into one of those to see it.

Yeah, that's certainly an option.
