camrogersMorning 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.*
*: God help me I better not.

Date: 2010-10-07 04:26 am (UTC)Tried logging into the account using what I'm pretty sure was the password and had no luck. Wondering if the whole Battle.net thing is fuxxoring it for me, or has something to do with it.
The other thing is, my account is tied to a defunct email address, so I can't reset the password that way either.
Not sure what my recourse is. He said speaking as though he has any plans to use that toon ever again.
