I took my DS lite to Disneyland with The World Ends With You in mingle mode during Thanksgiving week, to find some other players. I was hoping to exchange friend cards. I tried to prepare well ahead of time by stocking hard to get equipment and pins.
Aside from 4 "aliens", I came up empty. This was not wholly unexpected, but I was hoping for better results. I thought Disneyland was implementing some Nintendo DS park service application, but I didn't pick up any signals for that either.
Is there any interest in a player locator (I've been toying with a Google Maps layer) with common meeting places like the nearest GameStop and point of contact to set up times?

WoW Cleanse and Redemption Macro
I play World of Warcraft. Currently I'm working on a level 43 Blood Elf Paladin that is a part of a Tuesday night raid group with friends. I spend some time making macros and revising them to make gameplay easier.
Problem:
Need to quickly remove debuffs from raid members. Figuring out who has the poison or other debuff and targeting them is a pain (especially the targeting).
Solution:
#showtooltip
/targetraid
/cast [nodead,nomodifier][modifier,target=player] Cleanse; [dead] Redemption
/stopmacro [nodead]
/s Resurrecting %t
Notes:
This macro changes to the next person in the raid, and tries to cast Cleanse if they have a debuff on them. One can effectively mash this button fast and it will jump from one raid member to the next and cleanse if necessary. I added Redemption (the Paladin resurrection ability) to the list so it can also be targeted and cast quickly. Dead and nodead qualifiers take care of what to cast when. I found I had to add a modifier to this macro so that I could "Cleanse" myself when needed. Targetraid is a little spotty. Maybe targets have to be in front of your character's field of vision to be selected. Stopmacro is there for the resurrection announcement.

I put up a simple web page a while back, detailing some of the things I did or made, but I feel it is too simplistic and I need to re-explore those projects and go into more detail. In future posts, I will go into each one individually and explain what I was thinking as I put it together.
Maybe I will improve my communication skills along the way...
