The first Bludwyng was one of my EQ2 alts, an Arasai Defiler that I originally started on Test to document Game Update #35, which introduced Neriak and the Arasai.
I was working at EQ2i at the time, under the name Florence Sopher (my original EQ2 main). From September of 2006 to September of 2007 I was the template programmer and primary site designer at EQ2i, helping to build it from a minor, if well thought-of, fansite to one of the top EverQuest II fansites out there.
When Allakhazam asked me to join the team here and take command of the new EQ2 Wikibase, I decided to create a new personae to keep my hobby editing separate from my new job, but since starting here the work to be done has totally consumed my time, and with the BETA for Rise of Kunark, I decided I could not do both jobs. I placed Florence on inactive admin status at EQ2i. I see no reason that ZAM and EQ2i cannot be friends, or at least friendly. At EQ2i we have long borrowed from Allakhazam's (among other sites) and I was the one that created the credit templates to give proper credit to the sites we borrowed from. I was also the one that built the "other resources" box, which gives a link from almost every page at EQ2i to the matching page at Allakhazam's and other resources, such as LootDB.

I choose to remain Bludwyng here, but there shall be no secret identities. Allakhazam's deserves my full and complete attention, and they have it.

Well, my brand new cam/camcorder, a Sanyo CG10, got stolen Friday along with all the pics and video I had taken, but at least I got this one pic (thanks, Spyderbite!)
Jan. 15th 2009 I had a stroke. It was a TIA (Transient Ischemia Attack, or mini-stroke). I am ok, and have recovered what I would call 99% "normal" functionality. It went untreated for 7 days as none of us realized what had happened, I just seemed to get drunk (slight imbalance, slurred speech). Don't let this happen to you!!! Know the signs!!!

It is so hard to realize that it has been just 2 years since my TIA (mini-stroke) and then, in an effort to top it this year I decided I would try a Heart Attack. I still don't know all the Doctor-words, but basically: I was experiencing severe discomfort for some 2 weeks, I went to the hospital on Saturday, Dec. 18th and, after blood tests showed my heart was in distress the doctor ordered a Cathartization to look at the damage. ALL THE arteries were clogged with two at 90%. Doc ordered an immediate bypass. Monday morning I underwent a quadruple bypass.
Today is Saturday, Christmas Day, and I have just moved from ICU to the general ward where I can get Internet access.
I want to say a few words about the crew here at Cy-Fair Medical Center Hospital... these folks are the best there is, people. Technically they are rated #5 in the country for Cardiac treatment. My surgeon, Dr. Kitten was actually one of those Dr's that regularly helped local television reporter Marvin Zindler, referred to as one of Marvin's Angels.
Update: (2/23/2011) Rift begins Head Start tomorrow and I am feeling much better. I have been doing Cardiac Rehab for about a month now and they tell me my heart rhythm and blood pressure are doing excellently. My chest still aches when I move wrong or cough but what do you expect? They cracked my chest open and pried my ribs apart. It is gonna take some time for that ache to go away.
I use the Firefox browser from Mozilla, exclusively, unless I simply need to check compatibility with "one of those other browsers". Now, you can certainly use whatever browser makes you happy, but considering that IE continues to ignore the industry standards, creating new issues with every update while lagging years behind almost all the other browsers in compatibility with the standards, don't you think that ANY browser other than IE would have to be an improvement?

You will notice, down the right-hamd side, the little boxes that identify my main toons in each game. It does a little more than just that, automatically adding my toons to Game, Server and Guild categories, and I invite you to do the same! See PlayerTag for the documentation. Let everyone know who you are and where you play.
