I”m always on the lookout for a gadget that approximates “My Perfect Gadget.” And the one that caught my eye this time was the Sony mylo. It’s the right form factor, but it’s still missing some major components. And being Sony, it’s WAY overpriced. Sony and Apple both seem to think their stuff is hot shit, well it ain’t – not until it gets a bit more functional – read expandable and non-proprietary. What would almost make the mylo’s price acceptable would be: Built in GPS Cellular network connectivity (optional … Continue reading
July was pretty much a month of the doldrums as far as gaming is concerned. I skilled up some new stuff in EVE Online and peeked in on WAR a few times, played a few rounds of BattleForge, and that’s about it. 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.

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
I’ve been experimenting with a couple of non-spec (read “non-Gallente”) “drone boat” cruisers in EVE (the Amarr Arbitrator and the Minmatar Bellicose) along with my EWAR pilot (in a Caldari Blackbird). And it seems to be going quite well so far. The first few forays were over even before my second bird got his drones out, and I’ve yet to have enough time to get the EWAR bird locked-on and jamming the “baddies.” So it seems to be working out quite well. I’m looking forward to getting enough Amarr reputation to get … Continue reading
…for gaming at least. With the visit up to Utah, I did have pretty decent internet service via my cell phone, but I really didn’t have time for any gaming. Just did a little facebooking and browsing the net. Family took up the balance of the time. I did keep my training queues up and running for my EVE toons, and that’s about it on the computing front. Wilhelm posted an interesting topic last week about AFK missioning in drone boats and that got me thinking about the same thing. As … Continue reading
