Instance soloing

Recently I have been doing some instance soloing with my Death Knight. The death knight has all blue gear crafted by my black smith (don't have time to get other gears).

So far, I have done SM, DM, BRD, UBRS, Stratholme, Scholomance.

Starts with SM, very easy, much easier than when I solo it with my l60 warrior. After that I got bold and went to BRD, Stratholme, Scholomance. Easy.

Dire Maul is very easy compare to when I tried it with my level 70 toon.

UBRS was a surprise. I saw a level?? fire boss, he was easy. However I died at the final boss once. Adding to the pain is I only have a short time every time I play, most of the time I have to leave my toon in the dungeon and abort. So after several days I tried again, this time I summoned a lot of ghouls and beat him with ease.

In UBRS, I wondered into another instance. That was a huge surprise. Mobs keep spawning and they overwhelmed me. I will try it again sometime later (and after some googling too).

Recent WOW activities

Even with a new baby I could still find some time to play. Most recently I got a new hunter pet (from SMV), and I visited DM and is currently trying to get the shadowforge key and solo BRD.

It is not difficult, with my level 80, the challenge is to find a block of time. Most of the time I was half way through and had to leave and the toon will timeout. Still it can be fine, almost feels like playing diablo.

I am in a lazy mode again

For the past week or two I was not in the mode to do anything, I thought of several projects I could done but have not start any of them. Played some StarCraft, but got tired and watched gomtv for other players play instead. Played some WOW, caught a new pet and went to DM. But non of those lasted more than 10 minutes and most time I send AFK flying.

I got a bunch of new ideas but no time to implement

With everything now cooling down (finally), I got 2 projects that I want to do (big thanks to Blizzard and my recent brain storming). One of it is change zoloFighter to a javascript engine (as of now php/perl all have standalone engines, but not javascript, which I think deserves a standalone engine so it can be more popular). There one one I will keep a secret for now.

Huge disappointment in the afternoon.

Yes at this point I am very disappointed. I finally remembered to bring my old geforce 7600 to my office in hope of making my office PC a dual monitor system. Till I open the case and tried to put it in. My PC is a Dell Optiplex 755, and the case is too small!!!! So basically Dell build a system that can not be upgraded in anyway.

Errrrr......

God and Evolution

Two days ago I had a lengthy discussion with one of my co-workers on Evolution. It stars with the Hornet vs Bee issue. He think it is evaluation and I think it is designed.

Neither of us are able to convince the other, with he firmly believe that evaluation is the answer of every thing, and I can't be convinced that something can evolved to an egg then chicken. I do believe that simple elements can evolve to DNA strings, and strings can form cells and complex organisms, but use that to explain Chicken/Egg is impossible.

I think I can find a compromise to this. We could say that during the evolution process, some intelligent beings come to existence and they in turn designed a lot of the stuff that can't be explained by evaluation, i.e chicken/egg thing. The leap there is just as great as the creation leap.

However, it still doesn't explain how intelligence is formed. I don't believe we can design artificial intelligence. All our random numbers in computers are fake, so there is actually no true randomness. But I think intelligence requires true randomness (Of course randomness doesn't explain feelings, but I will assume feelings can be emulated).

So my assumption is, there are a finite set of things in this universe that are truly random, and they tends to attach to living organisms. Those things are the origin of real intelligence.
