As of sometime late last night the blog crossed a milestone. I had over 10K views in a year! This is the second full year of the blog, and last year I barely scrimped up ~3.5K views, so I’m pretty happy about getting over 10K this year. Not much else going on this week – I’m hoping to actually re-do some of my Enochian Tablet graphics to look nicer and to create sets with the letters on the boards (both English and Enochian). I’m even thinking I might be able to … Continue reading

I made it back home from my Christmas excursion up to Utah. It was very cold up there, and arriving the day after a large snowstorm – it was quite the winter wonderland as well.

I’m just finishing up the packing ahead of my 450mi trip up to my Mom’s house for the holidays.

(it’s a bad Pearl Jam ref. for those not “in the know”) Most of the weekend was spent flying around, if not in EVE then I could usually be found somewhere over the SW US in FSX/Tileproxy. I did log in very briefly to LOTRO, but mainly just to unload my bags and do a bit of crafting here and there. In EVE, I’m still mining away quite happily and making some good ISK, but the weekend crowds were kind of annoying. So I took my miners out for a … Continue reading
