Comments!
I read a fair lot of blogs and I do it through Google Reader (Or NetNewsWire when on my Macbook). It’s a fairly clean interface and I like it, but how hard would it be to add the ability to add comments directly from the reader? A huge number of blogs are powered by Wordpress or are on services like Blogger with standard forms to fill out. Even if you need an account with the website to post it’d be nice to be able to tie it to your Google Account and then comment directly, and have the ability to load up others comments from Google Reader.
Yeah I can understand the counter arguments. Centralising everything to Google creates a monopoly, less visits to the actual websites means less revenue from ads etc. But still, it’d be cool. Perhaps make the feature optional? Commercial websites could make it a perk of being a paid subscriber? I don’t know.
In other news, I’ve got my MAC code from Virgin and going begging back to Zen Internet. I got pissed at Zen when I went over my limit and they charged extortionate amounts for additional bandwidth. After months of shitty pings and streaming video using Virgin I’d gladly pony up the extra £10 for top quality service. Despite the price, I always had a great connection with Zen and they have won multiple awards for it.
This should mean more time for WoW, rather than the roll a 6 system I’m going through. I don’t get huge amounts of free time (even less as the work from my OU course picks up soon) and when I do I like to play WoW. There’s nothing more annoying that logging on to see a ping between 1000-20000ms before being disconnected. I’m really enjoying playing my druid and I dinged 75 last night making this the highest character I’ve played. I’m about 500g off Epic Flight Form (despite having to wait to lvl77 and another 1k to use it in Northrend) and really enjoying the lore in Northrend. I’m looking forward once I hit 80 to taking my time to find read all the little interesting books and doing missed quests, fishing in Dalaran for coins and doing all the obscure achievements.
Warcrack indeed 
I like reading your blog because there’s always a lot of words I’ve never heard of before. This was a particularly good one for that. Dalaran, Northrend, 1000-20000ms. It makes me want to play WoW. Except I have an addictive personality so I’d probably better not start now, 7 weeks before the baby arrives!
Damn, someone commented on my blog? That means someone has read it!
Sorry Jem, I thought I had set it up so I got an email if anyone ever did.
Yes, WoW indeed is very addictive. I wish Kat would play but she’s addicted to Farmville as much as I am to WoW.
You would love Dalaran I think. It’s a floating city made by mages and it’s one of the most beautifully designed places in the game. I play a Druid which means I can turn into a Cat (more like a lion), a Cheetah, a Tree, a Moonkin (giant owl), a Bear and an Eagle. Being able to turn into an Eagle and fly about all the pretty places is my favourite thing. I was just flying about last night and had the music on (I often have it off so I can listen to podcasts) and realised I’d never flown through that part of the game with music on before, and wish I had, it was amazing.
A shall endeavour to post you a picture of Dalaran tonight
