Danas sam dobila poklon. Prevremeni, za rodjendan. Neko ko ga je poslao nije računao da će kutija prevaliti hiljade kilometara za samo tri dana. Ni moj poštar se nije nadao da će biti poslužen koka kolom. A ni ja se nisam nadala da će mi ta kutija izazvati gadan osećaj koliko smo zapravo svi udaljeni jedni od drugih ovim kompjuterima, koji su isprva bili smišljeni da zbliže ljude. Sada znam da nisam čovek tehnologije i da volim samo ono što ruke mogu da naprave. Ovaj blog ne prave ruke...ovaj blog je samo metrički skup neopipljivih impulsa i stoga ga ne smatram dragim. Neki blogeri mi sve više liče na botove.
You've surely heard of World of Warcraft players shunning work, family, responsibility, and drinking water for the love of the game, but if you're not up on your "dual-boxing" as I was, keep reading. Dual-boxing is act of controlling two characters in an MMO simultaneously. Of course, there's multi-boxing, when just two won't do. As seen above, a pair of triple-boxers working in tandem can yield efficient raiding results. Therefore, why not take it to the next level? And then a dozen levels higher? How about simultaneously controlling 23-characters while your girlfriend also manages 23?He writes:
I started boxing in 2001 in EverQuest. At first it was dual boxing, then triple, then quad, then I 6 boxed for a long time. My girlfriend began boxing and I decided to "kick it up a notch" and we began doing our own raids. In 2005 we started playing WoW.[...]
I went through alot of hardware along the way. At first it was X-Keys and KVMs, then I went with Cherry programmable keyboards and KVMs. I never felt the urge to go monitor crazy -- like many boxers I focused my attention on a single screen, had another monitor locked onto another character, and finally the 3rd monitor cycled through the KVM.
If you count the number of PCs, you'll get 47. My girlfriend controls 23 and I control 23. The other one is a server. All but 2 of those pcs are diskless. It got to the point that updating 46 pcs just took too long, the hard drives added to the electric bill and generated heat, so I found a good PXE solution that works great.
