A heavy cold
This years winter was heavy compared to how it has been the last 10 or so years, and I have indeed missed the chill of a real winter season, an oddity though is that I have been struck with a heavy cold this year and its a first for a very long time, last time I had one this bad was when I was like 15-16 years old.
During a cold I will often blend about 1L of hot water with a flavor enhancer or normal household orange juice that upon consumption will increase my inner-body temperature to battle the cold from within, Warm Chicken Soup or indeed most soups for example will do your body good during a cold as it keeps the body hot.
The Games of old
Looking around in my game collection I found my Sid Meier's Pirates! box, all CDs still in superb condition, so having a bit of nostalgia I installed the game and began to play, to my surprise however the game seemed to have constant loading pauses during play, like it was loading things every 0,3~0,5 seconds thus making the game visually lag, not sure if its my graphics card, anti virus or anything else that makes this behavior, I started to check what I could possibly turn off to make it run smooth as it should, tried all compatible modes and there was no difference at all.
I tried turning off all antivirus and internet security software and apps, I unplugged my computer from the network prior to turning everything off of course.
This did nada as well, So I am currently stuck with a superb game with a constant graphical lag like state... oh well, guess I'll find a solution for it later.
Dedication and Explaination
Onward to the world of Online Gaming, as many of you may have seen and read in my posts earlier that I started to run a site for Dedicated Game Servers, which are paid for by public donations and the ad revenue from the Google Adsense program that I have on my blog and the community forum here at stamfaste.se
I did get a few question about "what stamfaste.se is?", questions like "Is Stamfaste.se a Company Name?", "How many owners does Stamfaste.se have?" and "Is Stamfaste.se for sale"...
Well first of Stamfaste.se is simply a Website I created and is owned by me, and is used as a project platform for various web based projects by me and my friends, I do not see Stamfaste.se as a company or anything like that, mostly cause I have no idea how to run a company and besides I don't ask for anything in return for usage of the site, as I explained in earlier posts and such all money that comes in to Stamfaste.se in donation or ad revenue are used for Stamfaste.se server payments and such.
A question I got from a friend was "Have you thought of joining a Affiliate program?", I have indeed thought about it, though I am not sure I understand them enough to consider them, mostly it's cause I can't be bothered to read thru several pages of license / ToS documents with a dictionary to join one, and in most cases you need to join the program to get to see what you actual get to utilize or what is required of you...
The Community and Association
Wish I had so much to write that I could type a post every week instead of whenever I get a feel to do so, but that is how it is, other than Stamfaste.se I am also an administrator for Thesecondsun.org as Head Community Manager, thus I take care of the forums and most community management requirements that the community may need or want.
Though lately I haven't done much as I am backing of my role to basic management control keeping the forum up and as of late fixing so that the forum is a part of the community rather then the base of the community.
The community being a MMORPG player Association means we have guilds in multiple MMO's trying to keep a stable and friendly community between the games, as of recently I was given the guild leadership of the World of Warcraft Guild "Children of Twilight" by the Game Master as our leader had been offline for a extended period of time and It was noticed that my bank alt that was in the guild still had the most activity in the guild, I hope that I can restore parts of the guild with a council command structure where my character has a central role but I put the overall command to the council.
I don't have much else on my mind right now but I hope to make a longer post next time, so see you all then and please do visit my webshop Stamfaste.se Webshop
