Importer Notes- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I forgot a couple of key points: The importer really doesn't do any importing :-) it's a set of perl scripts that convert the text output of Print2PICT into a file that can be imported The output format that's understood by A Cook's Books is "MasterCook" format (--format mc). To get the text output from Print2PICT (there's a local copy of the 3.7.1 archive here): Launch Mangia!

Even maintaining the blog failed -- I managed to destroy two posts! Blizzard has done an incredible job -- it's worth the multi-year wait. The game has just the right balance of "toon" versus "reality" (whatever reality means in an online game) and it's presented consistently. Because it's so well done and, more importantly, so evenly done, it's very easy to fall.http://www.cobblers.net/blog/2005/06/02#timesink Fishing Buddy, an Add On for WoW- (Found July 5, 2008 ) One of the great things about World of Warcraft and its interface is that you if you don't like it, you can change it.

And having looked at the code, I knew I could do better :-) So I shamelessly..http://www.cobblers.net/blog/2005/06/12#fishingbuddy Fishing Buddy, v0.7- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I've updated it a little bit and cleaned up some code.

The new version can now sort by fish, as well as by location, so you can find out where you actually have caught Stonescale Eel.. Download the updated version of Fishing Buddy in the usual fashion.
