Just a test to see if I can get pics to work the way I expect them to here on WordPress. These pics should be “side-by-side” … well, I guess they’re too big to be side-by-side, but at least it didn’t screw up the Blog’s homepage. Next test, with captions this time: This looks odd in the editor…but it looks ok in the actual posting, so I’ll run with it. Next let’s try centering and see if it messes up the rest of the formatting: Now did that … Continue reading

I’ve been playing around with some fittings for my new battleships. I’m used to flying gun/missile boats, like the Raven and Maelstrom – but in trying to make a more usable multi-box setup, I’m exploring drone based combat.

ISK from a couple of those missions. One was … Continue reading

A friend of mine keeps trying to convince me to come back to LOTRO and another is wondering if I’d like to check out Conan again, and I’m not really interested in either of those. A couple of new games are on the horizon, but I don’t think … Continue reading
…damnit. And in High-Sec too! Man, did I EVER screw up! LOL! And here I was thinking High-Sec was SO safe, hehe. Not so, young padiwan. Now listen, and learn. Ultimately, the thing that killed me was just about the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. And apparently it’s a well known EVE mechanic, that somehow over the course of several years of playing EVE, I’d never heard of. Apparently, if you’re in a fleet and someone – ANYONE in the fleet has their “NUM LOCK” key turned on… no one else … Continue reading
