  • Yahsnooze! Yahlose!

    Expedition to Undermountain sounds like a great sourcebook.  I enjoyed playing through Undermountain in Mike's campaign.  I'd be curious to compare the Undermountain 2.0 boxed sets versus this 3.5 hardback. 

    The Internet is an everchanging landscape.  Yahoo! Photos just recently upgraded to a much improved system.  So of course, shortly there after they announce that they will be shutting down.  Flickr (also Yahoo! owned) will be their sole photo storage system.  Rather silly, but they were probably working on those upgrades before the bigwigs made the decision.  I wonder if they'll combine their separate blog services eventually, too. 

    Even sillier is that the FAQ claims:

    Select from among the photo sharing services offered (Flickr, Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Photobucket) and they will move the photos for you. You’ll need to verify your Yahoo! account information and either create a new account or login with an existing account at that other service, but beyond that they’ll take care of the rest.
    Yet Flickr (owned by the same company, remember) doesn't actually have the import tool developed yet.  They don't even have a projected date!  To add insult to injury, Multiply already has a working import tool.  How can the competition already have an import tool when your own service does not?  No wonder rumours are always abounding about Yahoo!'s financial troubles. 

    Thanks to Alluveal for the quiz:
