Techno-babble from yet another babbler RSS 2.0
# Friday, June 08, 2007

Well, it's official, again, for now. I just went and canceled my WoW account. With the birth of my first child, I have come to the realization that I don't have enough time for WoW (or, better put, what time I do have should be spent either with my son, or doing a hobby that's creative and produces results I can show off).

What's funny is that I don't miss it in the least bit. At first, I made the decision to stop playing WoW because I simply had to play games where I could pause at a moment's notice to help out with Baby Xander. Then, after several weeks of not playing WoW, I realized I didn't miss it at all and have really enjoyed spending time either with music, or in doing Windows system programming in C (yeah, I'm a geek, I know it).

So, I say farewell to World of Warcraft for the third time in my life. Hopefully this is for good (or until the _next_ expansion pack comes out :P).

P.S. Back to reading my current book, Windows Internals.

Congrats on *two* fronts - one on quitting WoW, and another on reading Windows Internals! What an awesome book!

I haven't played in weeks either. I should probably cancel. I don't really miss it either. On the other hand, I have replaced it with playing other games, rather than anything very productive....
