some reading?

Finally got 'round to updating my Palm's selection of ebooks, having finished Twain's Yankee a week or two back.

Just added in Moll Flanders, Brothers Karamazov, Jane Eyre, Emma, and the first volume of the Father Brown stories. Oh and an updated CIA Factbook. I'm clearing out the Twain I've read and the Oz books (I never got to 6-15 or some such). Oh and an updated CIA Factbook. Leaving quite a few other random bits of there.

Waiting on Amazon and it's accomplices to bring Lost Season Two, most of the Myst games, and er, one other thing. Oh and more gaming books: BTS 1.

Have made cheerful progress on a tiny hacking project, a dice roller. (Ruby)

Making very little progress in Warcrack. It seems there is some soft-limit that makes it very hard for me to grind a toon past 17. We'll see if any of them ever make 20. On City of Heroes, I managed to get two to 22 or so .. and that was it, no more..

Haven't been on Secondlife much lately. I've logged in a few times, but my girlfirends weren't on, or were terribly busy.

Try a hunter. I have a hunter alt that is so damn much fun to play, I got her up to 34 all on my lonesome. (I usually won't level past 14ish unless I have someone to play with.)

CIA Factbook? I am very proud of you!! Now add the Stat Abs and the Machinery Handbook, and you've got yourself a library to be proud of.

Whatever beastie you want! I mean, we can't train giraffes or zhevra, which I personally find disappointing. Any beasts are fair game. I use a bear. I like them because you can feed them anything, and they make good tanks. I've twinked out my character so I am doing plenty of DPS, and I don't need my pet to do anything but stand in front and keep aggro off me. Bears are good at that. Bats also make great tanks, because Screech generates insane aggro. Not as good of health or armor as the bear has, but better aggro holding capability. Turtles are fun, but not as good of tanks as bears or bats.

Dragonhawks are kinda nice, but their fire breath doesn't get a rank up past level 1 until you get to lv 66+. They look cool, but they're not really great at anything. The wind serpents are really great dps pets. So are the cats, of which you have a wide variety of skins available.
