I believe I have found the best power combination in City Of Heroes.
Choose a Scrapper with Katana and Regeneration. By Crikey!!!!
I'm going up against Red and Purple opponents all over the place and winning!!! I went from lvl 16 to 20 in about 2 hours.... Give it a try.

It's really starting to get me down.
After months of work, the RPGManager is coming together ion both Linux and WinBlows.
This is, however, not getting me any closer to getting a new job.
It appears that the world requires a piece of paper that says you can make programs before anyone actually believes you. In respect of this I have just applied for a Software Engineering degree. That's right, at 31 years old I will once again become a beer (surely cider) swilling student.
Hopefully in 3 year's time when I've officially learned everything I know now then they'll be banging down my door instead of vice-versa. :D

It's all getting a bit too much...
I've applied for a load of new jobs, I've worked my arse off and so far to no avail.
Hopefully something will pan out soon.
I ran into some weird problems recently in Linux. My webcam works when I use luvcview but does not work using gqcam or skype for linux. I spent a long time trying to solve this, and haven't quite managed it yet. It appears to be some problem with v4l and v4l2 which I can't quite work out. There also seems to be some problem getting the cam to work using mplayer. I've tried a few workarounds, but no results yet.
Admittedly, having only used linux for a few months, I may not see the problem straight away, but my computer sense is tingling and tells me I should be able to solve it.
I've also had to make a tough decision of late as to whether I'll keep playing city of heroes or keep roleplaying. A tough choice, but COH eventually won. It's not good being in a situation where you actually have to make that coice as I enjoy both equally.
Beowulf is out on Monday. Been looking forward to that for ages now. Mr Gaiman, I doff my cap to you sir.

It's not the best of ideas...
... to let me drink a lot of alcohol and then post a blog. Or indeed let me anywhere near a computer.
Although there is much ranting to be done.
Not only have I been working my ass off for this interview on Friday by getting the database and GUI sorted for my RPGManager, but I've also has the most amazing idea for two screenplays. The first is a drama about a guy suffering from Depression, Sleep Deprivation and Multiple Personality Disorder and the second is a super-hero movie.
I won't go into details just yet, but when I've got something sorted I will post it.
I need a cigarette...
... That's better.
I turn thirty-one on Saturday and it is my ardent wish that I will actually get a job for which I am better suited than my current one. I am a geek, that is what I do best... For God's sake, I just bought a binary watch...
I'm actually going to see my parents on my birthday too, for the first time in 10 years. My mother and I share a birthday (probably the least welcome present she ever had... A nine and a half pound baby) and the last time we saw each other on our birthday was my twenty-first... There is a weird palindromic co-incidence there too, but I'll explain that at a later date.
Wish me luck with the interview...
