Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything useful here, so let me introduce LibWowAPI, updated to version 2.0.
LibWowAPI's been behind Blizzard's WoW API for quite some time now, and between my last job and my re-found passion for gaming, I've not really had a lot of time to update it. Well, with Warlords of Draenor dropping this Thursday, and the fact that I sorely need to update my guild website, Six Minutes To Release (my next project!), I figured now was a good time to catch up.
For this release, I added an extensive Visual Studio test suite, which ensures that all of the of the classes are functioning properly before I go to do a release. Often times Blizzard will break things in the API, which requires me to make changes to avoid exceptions. It took me quite a bit of time to document all of the classes, but I really feel like a LibWowAPI release needs to be a quality product.
Blizzard most likely is going to make changes to their API in the coming weeks, and hopefully I can stay on top of them. However, with the number of projects I am giving priority to - the least of which is my 12-1/2-year old fail-design of a website... well, let's just hope Blizzard doesn't break anything serious.
This is my blog where I give my thoughts and opinions on various topics and share my creative endeavors with the world. I run two personal blogs, but combine them here for ease of access.
Blogger - My oldest blog using the Blogger platform contains posts full of opinions, gaming, and code.
Tumblr - Tumblr posts are all about my creative side, containing music, videos, writings, and updates on my web creations.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
