77 Summoning new Ubuntu release – 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope
I haven’t done a lot of Runescape today but I did get another summoning level today… Not much else. Been spending a lot of today configuring my Ubuntu 9.04 installation. Compared to the previous version of Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex, it’s blindingly fast! Jaunty Jackalope is faster even with extra desktop effects on than 8.10 was with no desktop effects. I think a large part of the speed is due to the new ext4 filesystem.

Levels, Levels and more Levels
Well it’s been quite a while since I’ve been on here and blogged, but since then I’ve been getting quite a few levels. Which I’ll list first…. The most notable one was level 90 slayer So now – finally – I can fight all the slayer critters in the game. Unfortunately, the dark bow is hardly worth it, which is the primary drop from these little beasties, (dark beasts) but at least it’ll be a great slayer assignment to be able to do – great exp! Wish I could do the rune ore, too. The second level I got of late was 96 Strength A pic of me getting level 89 crafting: Anyhow that’s it for now. I’ll try to post again sooner. I’ve got a few things I want to talk about….
There are a few other levels I’ve gotten, but these are the ones I took the screenshots for:
So I’m yet another step on the way to another 99 skill, but still a long way. Oh well – a level’s a level
Only 1 level left until I can do Amulets of Fury….

Magic level 96, and 559k from 99 Attack!
Ok I got Level 96 Magic today! I was training slayer and I got Black demons as an assignment. I figured sweet – these things are good for magic training, since they are weak to magic. Here’s a pic of me getting the level (click for a bigger pic): Getting this level unlocked 2 new spells for me. I’m also getting ever closer to that level 99 attack, as well. Only 559k xp away from that beautiful attack cape.

99 Firemaking
Well I just got back from going out and its 8:07pm, so I have decided that if I do want this level I am going to have to take more direct action. I calculated how many logs I will need to burn for the level and found that I either need 2.1k yews or 1.4k magic logs. So I’ve decided to buy magic logs instead… I thought about maybe using a familiar pouch, since it speeds up xp but it would only save 40 logs which really isn’t worth it. So now I am on the way to getting this very last firemaking level. I had to have a break for dinner unfortunately. Well – I did get that 99 today!
Here’s a moment in the middle of the emote of the firecape, either that or my face is on fire….
Now for that pesky 99 Attack level! Another skill cape coming right up!

Getting Close to 99 Firemaking
Well – as I thought – I didn’t get 99 firemaking today. I did manage to chop a lot off – wait that’s wood cut. I did manage to burn down to 441k xp away from 99 firemaking. So I should be able to get that tomorrow, easily! I’ll be very glad to get this so I can forget ever having to do firemaking after that. I might have been able to get it today but I had some minor computer issues to resolve due to the fact I was trialling Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta. I had to fix it by reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Unlike Windows, I got prompted when I was reinstalling Ubuntu that I had files on my computer and did I wish to import my documents and such into the new install. Of course I said yes and it saved having to do a major backup before I did the reinstall!

My trip to 99 Firemaking
No more is my character going to merely bask in the luxurious spas of Oo’Glog. I am back into Runescape and the first goal is to get 99 firemaking!!! Yesterday I got 96 firemaking… … and today I got 97 Firemaking!!! Also today I managed to get over 1.5 million XP that’s not even counting other things I did today – such as the circus! That was just in firemaking XP alone! So stay tuned and I will keep my progress on Runescape updated. Play time is over for Primefalcon!! Time to hit the high scores!

Sojourn
Sorry I haven’t been around for a bit guys and gals. I’ve been really busy…….. (web design, programming, 110MB forums – over 1k posts now, etc….) I’ll try getting back to this a little bit each day from now on……. But i just want to have a little say about helping sites that you admire by clicking their ads once in a while. Talking about sites that offer great services….. Those sites that offer great services for free, or even for a small fee, deserve a little thank you….. Rather than just ad-blocking everyone’s ads, I actually deactivate it on sites that I love and click their ads a couple of times every so often like every couple of days or so (…. but not a fusillade, as I don’t want to get them banned from their ad services). I know most sites don’t want to use ads (like my wife’s) but they need to make money to keep the sites going. So I thought I’d just come on here and say this – if you use a site that offers great free services or informative content, you might just want to say thank you to them by clicking a few ads rather than ad-blocking them…. nodding…… do it….. at least allow ads on their site to show, in case they have pay per view ads on the site. At the very least, you’ll help them stay around – web hosts do cost money after all and I know that good content takes a while to write ……. Now – I wonder what I’m going to get to burn when the new quest comes out on Runescape! Check out Marlaine’s articles on eHow – she is one amazing woman! Sign up to earn money yourself and give her a bit of credit by writing one article. MarlaineMarie@eHow sign up friends. She and her brother, Cyclecyco are getting pretty happy with the results from writing there. I am starting to suspect she is going to focus on photography though because she loves taking pics for those articles now. The sign up credit is only until the end of August 2008 but – hey – do it for yourself and earn money writing about something you love or whatever! {Edited by Marlaine} Good thing! Ya shoulda seen what I wrote the first time through. Hahahahaha – we laughed ’til tears streamed down both our faces!
I’ve been using a great site called Browsershots. If you do web design at all, it’s a great place to check out what each of your pages will look like on any internet browser you need to worry about. It will give you a preview of all viable browsers, allowing you to fix those little glips and slides in your designs on – say – Internet Explorer 6, or any other known problem browsers.

Levels and Birds Living and Undead
Well yesterday I went from 68 summoning to 71, meaning I’ve unlocked the Saradomin Owl, Guthix Raptor, Zamorak Hawk and the Ex-Ex-Parrot. I choose the owl since Marlaine took the hawk. Here are a couple of pictures of my Ex-Ex-Parrot … And, yes, that lovely lady in the background is Marlaine.:-) To get the Ex-Parrot you need to talk to either 50 ships Mufassah or bronze hand Harry above the bar is Mos-Le-Harmless to get a dead parrot, and then to Bill teach (also in the bar or on the ship to/from Port Phasmatys) to get the magic cage. Once you have both, put the bird in the cage and take it just a short distance west of the cave horror den – as you can see here: …and use the cage on the rock. Then just simply remove the bird from the cage and drop it . You will have a new undead pet, the Ex-Ex-Parrot! To feed it, use a chisel on the same rock to get chunks – these chunks are the bird’s food! They don’t stack but you will need a few if you plan on keeping this pet out and walking around with you. In addition I also got level 86 crafting:
She actually took the screenshots.

Reply to DannieP On Runescape graphics
DannieP 24/06/08 said in response to Fun Orb not much fun
DannieP said: Actually Runescape doesn’t run in the browser. It runs in what’s known as JVM (A Java virtual machine), which is essentially a virtual computer on your own computer. It just happens to be convenient to open this virtual machine inside a browser. Runescape already has a cache folder on your computer where it saves the graphics, but it will take a much larger download for the better graphics and a faster CPU and GPU to process those graphics when it comes out. So essentially the same thing limits WoW and Runescape. The requirement of running from a CD is just a piracy protection method. Your hard drive actually runs faster than running from a CD – which means that Runescape could run better than WoW.
Quite frankly, these ‘ Gigantic Graphic redo ‘ as you call it isn’t that great. Runescape will never live to the standards of lets say WoW (World of Warcraft) due to the fact, you can’t have good ghrapics on a brower game. Runescape should become bigger using a disk, but i know its not that easy
