I've had someone asking me about my feelings about NPC corporations, on Twitter, and while I answered him, I thought I'd give a fuller answer here. NPC corporations are fine. But there should always be an advantage of not being in one. Also, you shouldn't be able to use one to avoid consequences. So, let's […] Read more
I never used to be claustrophobic; If I had been, I'd never have entered the Capsuleer program. Spending all the time in such a tight enclosed space would have sent me running for the hills. These days, getting into, and out of, my capsule gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. That time after the capsule closes, […] 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.

The use is, however, correct. The CSM exists as a lobbying body, and as a feedback loop for CCP. […] Read more
This may seem a trifle self serving, in that I already have a fan site account from CCP (more for the tools, than the blog, I think). I don't deny I like getting things (like the spiffy monocle I'm sporting in game, which I won from the pre-Vegas blink promo) Part of me likes the […] Read more

I'm not planning on stopping doing these any time soon, as I need them for my own porpoises, but I thought it might be worth having a few instructions out there, so people can run their own conversions of the EVE SDE. Just in case I get hit by a bus, or mauled by crazed […] Read more
