EverQuest - some images during server patch

Bebi Dollface working out on her defense skills in The Dreadlands (Sep 2002).


A very, very young Corish in his full suit of leather armor (level 13 or so).


Corish - traveling through Iceclad at level 32 (shortly after being tagged as a moonie).


Corish at level 53 - with a few pieces of purple PoH armor left.


Sorish - after proposed changes to the troll models in PoP.


Neriak - if you look closely at the picture on the wall, you'll see that it's the same in-joke as a picture in North Freeport. I'm still keeping my eyes open trying to find the same picture in other cities.

No post today

Well, kinda - was up early finishing up a job which took all day anyway. Didn't really get much done this evening either - played EQ, but only did some vendor diving, trading equipment with a guildmate, and spending a while either in tells with friends or off buffing younger guildmates in nearby zones.

Fixed the archives (again!)

Okay, okay, okay... I finally fixed the 2002 archives page, although I still need to go back and fill in descriptions for each week.

(Hey, at least now all the pages are properly linked in the archive!)

Hieroglyphics Disclose Unknown War

Thought this was a cool story, haven't found images of the steps yet, although I'd expect someone would have put them online at some point.

Yahoo! News - Hieroglyphics Disclose Unknown War A bitter war between rival Maya city-states may have set the stage for the collapse of that once-great civilization, say scientists who translated recently found hieroglyphics on stone stairs in an ancient pyramid in Guatemala.

EverQuest - some more screenshots

EverQuest - some more screenshots

Just some more screenshots that I finally pulled out of my EQ directory and organized (warning: all of the linked images are around 350k and are 1600x1200 resolution -- OTOH, they do make some nice background screen shots).

Running along the path in Hollowshade Moor with some guildmates.


Twilgiht Sea - this is the castle that you portal to from Fungus Grove.


Twilight Sea - the entrance to Katta (a city on the far side of Luclin).


Twilight Sea - one of the many islands that are sprinkled through the zone.

Warchalking

Warchalking is a way that geeks communicate the presence of wireless access points to other geeks by scribling a symbol in chalk on walls or sidewalks. If I manage to see any symbols like this, I'll try to grab a picture of the spot.

Collaboratively creating a hobo-language for free wireless networking.
