Angels and Demons

Went and saw this tonight and it was good, though *spoiler* the fact that they’d cast Ewan McGregor meant he was obviously the bad guy.

Curse Client ‘Premium’

Let’s look at a timeline of my Curse Client use.

Previously using Wowmatrix and loved it.
Curse begins to block Wowmatrix under the premise of excess bandwidth usage.
I grudgingly switch to the Curse Client and find that it works exactly like Wowmatrix.
Fast forward a few weeks and overnight the functionality I’ve become used to in the Curse Client . . . → Read More: Curse Client ‘Premium’
