Oy, I can’t believe January is already done with. It’s been a hectic month for me at work so I haven’t been gaming nor blogging nearly as much as I would’ve liked to. Been burning the midnight oil (and beyond) for a couple weeks now trying to get a project ready for “prime-time” by next week – no fun! In the gaming arena, I re-subscribed my EVE accounts – mainly to get my mining ‘toon into a Hulk, and my military ‘toon up to a point where he can use … Continue reading

I’ve been back in EVE online for a few days now and I’m starting to remember why I left last Fall. Mining is oh-so-boring, and I don’t really have the skillz to do decent mission running – AND while CCP gives you the illusion of having multiple characters, you can’t actually DO anything with those extra character slots because you can only have one character in training at a time – GRR!

A couple days ago I wrote about my perfect techie gadget, but I’ve also wondered why computer mice are so awful. I hate them. Mainly because every single one is made of plastic. You see, I work on the computer all day long and then I game all night, so the mouse is always “in palm.” And being non-breathable plastic it makes my palm sweat. Disgusting, I know, but there’s such a simple solution. Rough up that plastic a bit so there are air spaces between the skin and the … Continue reading
