This blog has been somewhat controversial in some circles, to utilize classic understatement. This isn't going to be a rant, because A, rants aren't productive, B, there have been enough already, C, I see where it's supposed to be going. Or at least I think I do. Rorqual changes: These have been coming for a […] Read more
How many parts is something I can't yet answer. As many as it takes. The SDE is a Static Data Extract from Eve Online. It contains information like where stars and planets are, how much Tritanium goes into a Typhoon, what skills are needed for which modules and so on. It's a useful bag of […] Read more

And not being lynched for poor hygiene appears to be difficult for some poor souls. So here's a few basic guidelines. If anything appears to be insultingly obvious, then it's not directed at you. Hygiene […] Read more
I've been to a couple of Fanfests now, and my least favourite part of it has always been Registration. With the long line outside Harpa, in the freezing cold, just by the North Atlantic. Now, registering a couple of thousand people is never a fun job, especially when you have a bunch of different accents […] Read more
