As the weather blocks me in, I listen to "FLOSS Weekly" from Dec 10th 2009, and I hear them talking about doing some of the same things I have been planning for a long time. They are talking about CouchDB, Ubuntu, and cross-platform information. A bit about getting a file on Linux and putting in on a Windows machine makes me glance at my pink thumbdrive which still has a file on it -- I had to do just that last weekend.

I can't help but wonder, how many other people think just like I do but don't talk about it? It makes me feel good knowing that the goals and plans for my company are indeed things that are in demand and are viewed by experts as being the way of the future. If my dreams are realized, Furry Moon Creations LLC will be a product that will scale not just with each person's needs now, but will scale with everyone's future. It is just as important though to me that your future is secure from anyone who would steal it from you. To this end, we are looking at ways to give the best security for a product everyone wants but no one has created yet.

I have to thank my lead tech for dealing with my heavy requirements on security, scalability, and versitility. I do not beleive you have to sacrifice one for the other two, and he's done his best to prove me right. A great start, and that leaves me confident to the future.

So the last quality scam I got came from netcitycn.com. They were doing great quality scams and now this ... don't laugh too hard but seriously. "Hi," ... not even a title like user or valued client. The link again leads to tiny.pl JUST like the last one. and of course the use of "pls" again. What is worse is the opt-out on this one. The use of the number "0" in place of the letter "o" is amazingly stupid, and why would anyone believe they could unsubscribe at "tnx4theofferbutunscribed@gmail.com"?  The email even looks fishy. Something like, oh, "unsubscribe@netcitycn.com" might be believable. However, use of a gmail account on scam emails is about as dead a giveaway as it gets.

It made me wonder ... who is Net City CN? Typing in the title bar produced this http://mail.netcitycn.com/email/scripts/loginuser.pl redirect to a very basic email service. In other words, it's just gmail only more obscure and sounds a bit more professional. Also, .pl is from Poland; I didn't bother looking last time as I didn't care, but I felt it would be good to be armed with more knowledge of where the scams are coming from.

I did a whois look up and got

24% of what is takes to be perfect. Very very sad, and after the last scam from them, it's even more sad.

72% of what is takes to be perfect. I'm very impressed.

I look forward to all new challenges the new year throws my way. I hope everyone who reads this is a better "human becoming" from it. Have a Cute day.

We have our winners picked from the Moonshards Alpha Signup promotion. They will be announced early next year after we have a chance to contact them and verify all the information is correct. I wanted to thank everyone that signed up for the Alpha testing. We had a much better turnout than expected, in fact an 800% better turnout than expected. This also means it's going to take longer to contact everyone and make sure everything is right.

Remember before Midwest FurFest I promised to show you the flyers that didn't fly? Here they are.

First I will give a list of the Favor I know of, this list might not be all inclusive. After that will be my Free to Play order for purchasing the packs and playing. I will go into detail just before it as to how it works and what assumptions it makes.

The following Guide assumes three things. 1st New Account. 2nd You don't want to delete any character you create. 3rd You buy every adventure pack for 20% off in this order as they go on sale. Sales are not predictable and should not be relied on but they happen and if you can wait, they will present themselves.

You must Create 9 character's over 5 Servers first. Each of these must be run through on Elite for every Free to Play quest in the game until you can afford the adventure packs and they go on sale.

It should be noted for about $10 you can purchase DDO Points and buy an extra character slot giving you a total of 5! per server once for the purchase and two for becoming premium. If you do this you can do 10 characters over 2 servers and make friends easier and get more reliable groups. The time it will save you can not be measured but it's almost assured to be worth it over the course of playing Dungeons and Dragons Online. That one time fee pays for it's self quickly.

Advice is everywhere. Many people love to give it, few really care to receive it. That's only partly true; people don't like advice they don't ask for or about things they understand well (or pretend they understand well). At MFF I did a lot of listening, and sometimes listening turned into talking unexpectedly.

On one panel, I helped some artists understand what it is a business mind looks for and what some major turnoffs were,like a shoddy sketch being the first piece of art I saw, or a binder held together with duct tape. Lack of acknowledgement from working artist when I showed up to look over their work made me feel they were too busy for any more work. One artist actually begged me to buy some of her art, while she was sweet I tend to be a bit callous when it comes to company dollars. Had I been there for vacation, my heart would have melted a bit and I might have purchased something small to help her out.

Well I have a lot of emails to send out and a mountain of backlogged papers to sift through, so I'll wrap this up with a piece of email correspondence with another attendee. This is the kind of feedback I like, when someone lets me know what they want but also understand that some things can't be adjusted on a whim.

I have to let people know for legal reasons that I don't, in fact can't, read every last email that comes in or will ever come in about Moonshards or other FMC products. In the event you send me something and you see that something happen, it is most likely it was planned from long ago or it was from information gathered from a large number of people's views of what they like or dislike. In short, if people start claiming I took their ideas I will have to stop listening to their ideas without them signing a waiver. I'm an idealist, I'd like to be able to make most people happy most of the time. I am a realist I have others that I listen to that keep me grounded in the realities of the modern world.
