Morning before last Drew phones me at 8am. He's just gotten through Customs, having landed back in Melbourne from six weeks in Germany, Jersey, Luxembourg and the UK.

First thing he wants to know is do I have a new computer yet. Talk about priorities.

Told him I didn't. Fact is I hadn't noticed. The Eee is doing me fine and I don't miss gaming that much.

Last night I'd just gotten to sleep and my phone rings. It's Drew. A friend of his had some heavy crap go down with his family and he has to move back to Sri Lanka after seven years. Not good. Doesn't know when he'll be back, and he's already been stabbed once over there. The point of this, though, is that he's selling a 4-month-old gaming rig, optimised, at a reduced price. I said sure, I'd take it.

I suppose this is the other side of the Butterfly Effect. Something explodes in Sri Lanka, a family is thrown into turmoil, and somewhere in Melbourne I start playing World of Warcraft again.*

Based on the activity feed on wowarmory, someone started using it a bit over a week ago, after a break of 14 months.

(Am also on Proudmoore, for better or worse.)

Sounds like it would be better to just ignore it completely, especially now people you know will be aware it's not you.

The way you write about WoW doesn't make me think you'll enjoy wrestling with Blizzard over account ownership.

But I understand the urge to do it anyway. Not sure I can advise either way, if only to avoid enabling...
