The theme looks good. I really liked the previous theme because it tied in very well to my gaming. This theme does well to demonstrate the change of direction of my blog .. development.
I look forward to your comments, suggestions and encouragement.
Thanks!

Ubuntu Laptop Installation

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Compaq F700 this evening. Everything is working properly. I am not having any issue with the Broadcom Wireless Driver as has been reported previously. Mind you this is the 32 bit version of the OS.
Puck’s Ready Check

I have talked about the application known to BrotherHood members as PRC – Puck’s Ready Check.
It simply consumes the XML data from the WowArmory. It presents itself in an XML file as well with a bit of XSL in order to make itself slightly more pretty than XML alone
How does it work?
Every twelve hours, an automated task requests the BrotherHood guild roster from the Armory. The scheduled task then trolls the list and requests from the Armory each member’s raid achievements, their armor and their spec. BrotherHood uses EPGP for its looting system. Based on the GP formula, the Ready Check application produces a GP value for the gear of each member. A Gear Score, if you will, is produced.
I personally don’t think gear scores tell you much about a player but that is all we have before we raid or group with any player.
Also based on the GP formula, each raid zone in the game has a maximum GP value because of the ilvl of the drops from that zone.
Puck’s Ready Check then sorts the roster and the zones to show players where their possible next drop could come from based on their gear alone.
Contact me directly if you are interested in this for your guild.
