Dear Blizzard and Activision,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me Diablo III for free with my promise to not shut off my WOW account.

I do have a serious question though. Why do you insist on a game like this requiring a connection to the Battle.net servers? Diablo I and II were great games. This is a pretty great game. Really If I wanted another MMO I would turn my swtor account back on.

Television Shows cancelled in 2012

Here is a list of all the shows that I've either followed or watched in the last few years or so that have recently been cancelled.

So a while back blogger.com moved to their new format. I of course migrated the Elder Tribunal to the new version. I spent some time trying to figure out how to center the header image and header text. The text was easy to do. The image was easy to do in IE, but didn't want to work in Firefox and Chrome. So I set it back to left justified and decided to wait until I had more time to play with it.

Yesterday we finally got around to going to picking up my Bike from VT. (Thanks again Pheonix! /hug) Since I essentially promised to post the other day here are a couple pictures of the bike (and the Wifey's Bike too!). Pssst.... Mine is the blue one.

Recently my TODO list has been getting out of control. This is perhaps partially due to work situations [like my boss being out on vacation last week, and in the hospital the week before], but I finally got a few things accomplished. Here are some of the things that I got done recently:

[X] Buy Motorcycle (aka get loan)
[X] Pay for Motorcycle
[X] Get insurance for Motorcycle
[X] Register Motorcycle and get Vanity Plates
[X] Study for written Motorcycle test for permit
[X] Get Learners Permit

If you are like me, you will be happy to learn that Fringe has been renewed for another season! It's only a 13 episode season but that's still fantastic news!

I've always hated when TV shows that I like do not get a chance to wrap up the story and just leave the fans hanging. It's nice to see that finally a show that I like and watch nearly religiously will have a chance to do just that.

And in sad news I just read the The Finder and Alcatraz have been cancelled.

OSTicket 1.6 ST - MOD: How to add a db populated drop down and admin interface [version 1.0]

These directions are for adding this feature to OSTicket v1.6ST. While it will be similar for any current version (RC through ST) release it has only been tested on 1.6ST. Directions for modified OSTicket v1.6ST will be similar but the line numbers may be different based on how you have modified your own implementation. These directions require that you already have a working implemtation of OSTickets v1.6ST.
