Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 01:42 AM [General]
This week we learned about a new Token System coming in Wrath of the Lich King. This should allow us to start storing things in a more effective way, keeping the clutter out of our inventory. A quick glance at my bank reveals stuff filling every corner, stuff like: Marks of Honor Hold, Holy Dust, Obsidian Warbeads, Spirit Shards, Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples, Alterac Valley Marks of Honor, Eye of the Storm... you get the point. I don't know exactly what will be stored within the Token system but hopefully we'll see away with some of the stuff listed. It seems promising, including categories for Classic WoW, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King and more. Players will also be getting a storage system for non-combat pets, with over 90 'vanity pets' in the game and people dedicating a lot of their time collecting them, a place to store them has been in great demand. The storage system will handle vanity pets and mounts, allowing players collect even more without cluttering their inventory. buy wow cd keywow power levelingbuy wow power levelingworld of warcraft power levelingcheap wow power levelingwow powerlevelingcheap lineage 2 adenacheapest lineage 2 adenalineage 2 power levelinglineage2 power levelingl2 power levelingineage 2 powerlevelinglineage2 accountsl2 accountslineage2 cd keyl2 cd keyWorld Of Warcraft goldwow goldbuy world of warcraft goldcheap and fast with my VISA electronwow gold for sale cheapcheap wow goldwow cdkeybuy cheap wow goldcheapest wow goldReally cheap wow goldcheapest wow gold for salecheap wow gold for salecheap wow gold sellerwow goldwow gold for salefree wow goldcheap wow goldbuy wow goldcheap wow goldsell wow goldwow goldWarhammer goldCheap Warhammer goldWarhammer Online goldWAR GoldBuy Warhammer GoldWarhammer Online GoldWarhammer Gold for saleWarhammer AccountsBuy Warhammer AccountsCheap Warhammer AccountsWarhammer Power levelingWAR Power levelingWarhammer Online Power LevelingWarhammer CD KeyWAR CD KeyWarhammer Online CD KeyWarhammer Game Time CardWarhammer gold wow power levleing wow power levleing MENSAJE DE JESUS

Diary, Monday 2nd March 2009 Went down the internet cafe this evening, no ID needed, can't be bad. Best not to be home when the State comes to forensically examine your bedroom. Kept the sun visor down just to frustrate the surveillance cameras - enjoy that bit! Little problem with the TV licence lot, too. No television, but default install on the computer might be able to show internet television, never have time to check, remove it, change operating system. Why should I? When I bought the machine, it was hard enough getting ISDN, let alone broadband. And couldn't do much about the work laptop - anyone guess whether they'd understand the huge Company Property label bonded to the lid? I don't want to find out. Couldn't they just have encrypted television, or made it a signed-up service? Then I remembered as I was driving home, the State - the blasted State! - just got into the car with me... Nightmare over. The new road-pricing scheme reported on Monday [1] isn't reality yet, and it certainly won't be in March next year. The other equally sinister proposals [2][3] will, of course. Back in 1979, the Big State was a real political hot potato. It was understood to mean nationalised industry, high taxation, pensions and public services. There was a valid argument about whether these should be provided by the state or by the individual. Such considerations remained on the political agenda long after Margaret Thatcher was elected, and even in 1992 Neil Kinnock fought an election on such values - and not without a following. However, by 1997 we had somehow moved on, as Tony Blair persuaded voters who had supported the Conservatives for nearly two decades to elect him on what he presented as a centre-right agenda. Things had changed - Labour was now refreshingly New Labour, and Sierra Man would be proud to vote for them. They really appeared to be a viable alternative to John Major's government, which to be charitable, had become something of a national joke. And thus New Labour gained power. There was no more commitment to nationalisation; instead a moderate tax regime was maintained (with perhaps the occasional stealth tax) and a generally methodical approach to improving specific areas of state services was reported in the news. At last, Labour had left the Big State somewhere in its past. In fact, they had left it in the past - at least according to our previous understanding of the term. But as we all know by now, political terms can mean many things, they just need spinning a little. So now, the State is big. Really Big. In fact, it's so mind-bogglingly big that all the space contained by the UK's borders, maritime included, simply isn't enough. It needs space to spread out, so it must be in the restaurant, the pub, the railway platform, the airport in case anyone smokes. It needs to be on the street, lest anyone drop a piece of chewing gum down a drain, or any child a piece of pasty. Many pairs of fine-hungry State eyes scan tirelessly around for the errant dog, anxious for the opportunity to exchange pleasantries - and a fixed penalty notice - with its owner. The State needs to be in the home, to measure the rooms and photograph the view from all the windows. While it's there, it will examine the bedrooms - and most probably the beds. Naturally, it has already checked the telephone and internet records. And it has a special obsession with bins. Just one week ago, these were the only - only? - places the State needed to be. But eager never to appear slothful, the State announced on Monday that it would feel more fulfilled if it could be a permanent uninvited passenger in every car, on every journey. We must pay it a fare for everywhere we take it. Not only that, but it will know and remember everywhere we go, and when. A bit like getting an ASBO I suppose, and we don't even have to break the law. Clearly equality remains a Labour ideal. Writing in The Spectator this week, Liam Byrne articulates his worries about what the Conservatives will do to Britain. He appears gravely concerned that they may 'roll back' the State, and that there may be 'less government'. Therefore by inference, he must believe that there ought to be more. Now, according to The Spectator, Mr Byrne is tipped for Cabinet promotion in the reshuffle, if it happens, so presumably he knows what he's talking about. Really, one has to wonder whether he is familiar with the term 'own goal'. Doubtless he is now, though executed with the skill of a yorker, it must make him something of a prize for Brown's Cabinet. Seemingly they just haven't grasped why we turn out in droves at the polling stations, even in uncontested elections, to rid the country of Labour. Certainly the swing vote are there to vote Tory, as they did until 1997, while in Scotland, the SNP are creating previously unheard-of challenges. But by Labour's falling membership, we may reasonably assume that core Labour voters have switched allegiances too. The next election will not be fought on purely party political issues. It will be about the quintessential values of Britishness, every bit as important as Gordon Brown tells us they are; about whether our homes are our castles, and whether we will be slaves. It is already about the rapid advance of totalitarian menace, as it tramples through our homes, our daily lives and our privacy. The PM is nothing if not unpopular, and we can't even ignore him. It's a bit like the demise of the Major Government, minus the comedy. It's not all bad news. The New Statesman's Martin Bright reports that an 'unlikely blogger', John Prescott, is now trying to 'forge unity' in the Labour Party (though strictly within the confines of its web-site). We may smile, but by this stage Mr Prescott's highly individual style of engagement probably is Labour's best hope. Keep knocking 'em out, John!
