Well I have led the Byzantine Empire to control of all of Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor (including the Middle East). Took awhile (basically marathon played today and yesterday afternoon) but I managed to actually make a complete win In Total War. Wasn't sure I would because I didn't figure out naval stuff until finally today. The lack of help files or a manual can really be a challenge. However I did manage to pull it off wiping the Brits off of Ireland. Probably the hardest thing was the game's propensity to allow massive rebellions of defeated factions across Western Europe. I can understand basic rebellion but it gets very annoying when the enemy can develop troops and equipment, from occupied lands, that those lands can't make and all in one turn. Also that you couldn't predict the rebellions and attempt to placate the civilians very easily. One turn they'd be happy then spontaneous revolution that produces fully armored knights and siege equipment. Slowed the pace down for same end result. That's my major complaint. I won though so I guess I should sit tight.
White Wolf finally announced something on their writing contest that my roommate has entered. Kinda dissapointing. Then again WW hasn't shown much management skill in running this contest.
Google Analytics seems to be getting up to speed now. Only took about a week. Think they really got caught off gaurd by how many people want to see how many people go to their blog/website/livejournal/etc and get stats on it. It's rather fun though at times. Especially the map that shows where in the world people are coming from! Also I am easily amused especially with statistics.
I am also enjoying the Google personalized home page and the fact that I can see Slashdot RSSed and Slashdot is such a brilliant news site. It's relevant stuff and the editors make smart commentary on the news they post. Worth your time to check out especially if technology issues matter to you. And if you were wondering how popular this site is, sites that get Slashdotted generally crash from the surge of traffic!
Well today is going to go down and as unproductive school wise but oh well. Catch ya later folks.
