Just waiting around for my patches to download for the Champions Online “marketing ploy” … I mean “open beta.” It’s having issues, which really is not unexpected, but – they should have allowed folks to pre-patch/download over the past week or so to help alleviate and discover these issues. Oh well, I’ve done what they’ve suggested to “work around” some of the issues, but it’s still acting odd. It seems to consistently hang at ~20-21MB, even after attempting Cryptic’s “work around.” 🙁 Hopefully it will work better this evening when I get … Continue reading
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.

I noticed some weirdness the other day too where it was converting my quotes and some other special characters (like slashes … 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. Not wanting to dive into the long training stint to get into the Dominix, since this is just testing the waters, I went for ships I can already fly. Which meant getting into an Armageddon and a Typhoon. I left my EWAR pilot in his Scorpion. BTW, did ya’ ever notice how … Continue reading
Over the weekend I mainly stayed in the EVE universe running missions trying to get enough Amarr faction to at least get into Level-2 missions. I didn’t quite make it, but I’m just a few missions away now. What slowed me down were a couple of missions that just had way too many asteroids for me to ignore, so I brought in my mining fleet from 6 or 7 jumps away to my mission running hub and pulled in around 100Mil. ISK from a couple of those missions. One was … Continue reading
