Scripty Goodness

One thing I dislike about RPG’s is the repetition it takes to reach the next level as I play the game I’m always thinking about more than the images I’m seeing displayed on the screen m mind travels to the amount of code that is going on behind the pixels to make everything work so smoothly. Yeah I’m nuts.

Later this weekend I’m going to run a script on a selected game to avoid all that mind-numbing repetition, and now I’m not going to do it with WOW since I know you aren’t allowed to do it and yes they will give you the boot if they catch you; however, there are other games whose rules aren’t as strict as WOW, in that regards so it will give me a chance to play around with code.

I took my daughter to Chuck E Cheese’s this morning, and she asked me, “Mommy, are you going to bring your MacBook Pro?” I’ve taken it a few times; however, this time it stayed home but a few of my programming books along with my latest edition of Mac|Life magazine accompanied me.

My daughter is five years old and now is at that stage where she does not want mommy following her around as she plays games. She wants me to sit down and watch her play. You know how hard that is? I love games. I do think my daughter is going to be gamer just like her mom. She was racking up the points on the arcade games. The best of both worlds just like myself she loves her video games but she also loves being outdoors.

WWDC 08: The Countdown begins

I have to admit I’m getting excited about the upcoming WWDC. I’ve been following the blogs, news sources very closely, checking out the “leaked iPhone photos” that are starting to crop up about the rumored device. This Monday I’ll be covering part of the event for one of the websites that I write for via live streaming. The editor has secured spots for us because it will fill very quickly.

I’m hoping that the iPhone 2 is finally made available to other carriers. I travel to a part of South Carolina where AT&T coverage really sucks. I use Verizon, if it weren’t for that I would have bought an iPhone a few months after it was released.

I’m looking forward to an updated MacBook Pro however I’m not planning on seeing a major update later this year. I’m a late switcher so won’t be making the leap to a new MacBook until a few months after it has been released.

Freelance Writing: Writing about Apple

It’s been quiet here on the Mac Diva I’m writing about Apple technology but I’m mainly writing for other. Currently I’ve been hired by three website and I write exclusively about Apple. Naturally I’m stoked since I’m passionate about Apple, Macs, and many of the products that Apple sells. I never seem to get tired of talking about it.
