Audio-Book Smack Down!

Ok, so many of you know – or may not know – since April, I’ve been working for a Library IT dept.  And the other day I thought I’d try one of the library’s audio book download services from home.  It sounds really cool on the face of it.  I could be blasting away ‘roids in EVE while a book plays in the background on my stereo – Very Cool!  Well, if it were that simple, everybody would be doing it! LOL! Actually it DOES work really well after you get … Continue reading

EVE meets Hulk

I *finally* got my Hulk the other night in EVE Online.  I’ve had the skills to fly one of these guys for a couple months now, but my lack of gaming time hadn’t really allowed me to afford one of these bad boys of mining.  And what a huge difference it has made.  Of course Marko has got all his goodies up as well, so that helps (Leadership5, Foreman5, Mining Link, etc.).  Rigging the Hulk w/ type2 strip miners and crystals, along with having Exhumers5 I was able to clear 20mil … Continue reading

Week One Complete

Well I’ve finished my first week at the new job and it looks like it’s going to be a lot of work but a lot of really cool stuff too!  I’m really looking forward to getting into it.  On the homefront, I still have a ton of unpacking to do, but I’m not sure where I’m going to put everything, so that’s kind of on hold until I can figure out what to do there.  I’ve had two major problems with the plumbing in the two weeks I’ve been in … Continue reading
