Yeah yeah… I know… it won’t last I just decided it was time to get my blog out onto my main domain page. So here it is! Accessible now through http://www.croga.com directly instead of useing the “Security through obscurity” hidden away URL.

Somehow I’ve still got hopes that I can post a bit more regularly… I’ll do my best.

I’m having good days and bad days. Today is one of the best since ages, not really feeling all that tired and I’m getting a lot of stuff done for the WoW guild that needed to be sorted for a long time already.

In the beginning there was Croga. And then he had the vague idea that all the reading he did might be good for the rest of the world
