Archaeology is the new secondary profession that you can learn in the upcoming World of Warcraft Expansion Cataclysm.
There are archaeology sites marked as spades on the world map. To survey you travel to one of these dig sites (there are always 4) and use the survey skill to look for fragments. You’ll find a direction and range indicator in form of a scope with a red, yellow, green light to it.
The past week I noticed errors and sometimes stalling performance of my PHP-applications. After some research I realized that the error might be related to some Linux distributions using only a small shared memory size which might cause APC to malfunction.
To get the most out of the daily Brewfest Ram Racing you need to ride at full speed all the time. If you haven’t noticed there are these Apple Kegs at certain Points that will remove your fatigue. So basically you can ride full speed all the timeand each time you complete your delivery you get 30 seconds bonus time. If you follow the path below you will use 40 seconds for delivery, so you can do basically around 24 rounds = 48 Brewfest Prize Token.
Macros are the perfect way to ease mass production of Disenchanting, Milling and Prospecting materials without relying on addons. The best suited macro command for this is /use. Basically always when you get a target cursor, like when you click on disenchant you can set a target with /use item or /use itemid. This one click macro is a great time saver.
The only limit that you should look out for is if you have 1-4 leftover ores or herbs, the macro will get stuck at some point. It will target material you but since the number is lower than 5 it cannot prospect/mill it. To get around this I mail uneven numbers of materials to a different character.
As stated previously about adding a „share this“ button to your artisteer geenerated post, it became more difficult to do that due to the modular way artisteer works now.
Generally I had the idea, to show an add ad the front of a post/page/list and if there were comments another small link ad before the comment form or after the third post.

Nice! Mail Opener cam in a vew Version with many nice features. For the Characters I am playing with I use Bulkmail2Inbox, but my AH Characters use Mail Opener. The big benefit of Mail Opener is the automatic opening of your mails.
It can be quite bothersome to get around the 50 mails per 60 seconds limit and more than once I totally forgot about these mails. Like right now I like to alt-tab and do something productive when emptying the box 😀
This is a reminder in case this News from last weeks Cataclysm Beta Build went past you. A player noticed that a Zul’Gurub Achievement has been removed from the game and Blizzard confirmed the change.
Zul’Gurub is a 20 player raid instance, introduced as content patch in vanilla WoW. While raids were typically 40 players at the time ZG was the first raid for smaller groups, basically the level 60 predecessor of 10 man raids today. Epic drops were, aside from Hakkar, the rare exception.
Zul’Gurub provides 3 interesting drops, still. The Swift Zulian Tiger, Swift Zulian Raptor and Tome of Polymorph: Turtle.
Update: new information here.
It’s been done! Last week I moved to a bit faster and better Server. Nah! Not in World of Warcraft! The Hardware that this Website runs on. Not like I have thousands of visitors, but now and then some major site links to this one and things start to get slow, really slow 😀
The major issue of the server was its operating system that had end of life cycle 2 years ago and new features became more tedious to deploy.
The latest Artisteer 2.5 included a big change in the file structure. Everything seems a bit more complicated now, but it is still easy to apply customization changes. While I am not the biggest fan of all these new social networking sites this may be different for visitors to this site and I decided to add a „share this“ button to posts and pages.

This Server was set up in 2007 on SuSE 10.1 & Plesk 8.1, but meanwhile SuSE 10.1 reached end of life cycle and is no logner being supported. It got increasingly tedious to keep up to date with current security patches. The main reason for delaying an upgrade was that SuSE isn’t very good to upgrade form each build to the next and this server runs several productive realms and databases.
Nevertheless I had been looking around for a decent new Operating System and decided to go for CentOS as it is very friendly towards upgrades.
Anyway here is how I did it.
