Richard Herring: The Headmaster's Son

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Not only was Richard Herring cursed by being born with freakishly small hands his father was headmaster of the school he attended during his formative years. In his latest show Herring ponders on this early life and how being the son of the headmaster may have affected his development ...

Being productive

Friday, February 27th, 2009

There is an awful lot happening for me at the moment in EVE Online. My first batch of ME research is coming to fruition, which has plenty of consequences. The direct consequences are that it frees up my limited number of research slots, allowing me to install more ...

Square wave generator

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

It's another meme! Melmoth randomly generates his band's album cover, following the advice of Greenspeak, and is keen to see other examples. I am not one to refuse such a polite request, even if I almost completely lack any image manipulation skills. I like the results, I have to ...

Trying to corner the market

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A capsuleer bought almost my entire stock of missiles that I had placed on the market, spending several million ISK to do so. Shortly afterwards, a huge cache of the same missiles was placed on the market in the same station but with a significant price increase. I could kick ...

And nothing of value was lost

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

My guild was hoping to get another instance run going at the weekend, at about the same time as my death knight was running around for the Wyrmrest Accord and gaining 75th level. With four players on-line with characters 75th or above we start planning, everyone keen to try ...

MST3K 20th Anniversary box set

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I am somewhat tardy in reporting this as it was a few months when ago I picked up the Mystery Science Theatre 3000: 20th Anniversary Edition DVD box set. I was only making a routine scan of on-line shops and looking at what MST3K episodes had been released in ...

Will grind for dragon mount

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I haven't kept it much of a secret that I have found the level-based restrictions and pointless content-unlocking quest chains rather frustrating, to the point where I am enjoying my own corner of nostalgic glee in grinding for the Netherwing Drake. Melmoth heeds my disatisfaction, 'Lo, if you want ...

Arbitrary snapshot of history

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Those charming fellows with the British accents over at Killed in a Smiling Accident tagged me to post the sixth picture in my screen grabs folder. I was hoping for an interesting and stimulating trip down memory lane as I worked my way to the sixth image in my World of ...

I sometimes feel like a non-profit organisation

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Currently in EVE Online I have a plan. Yea, it is a good plan, as it has a short-term goal that not only doesn't encroach on my previous aims but encourages me to spend more time in New Eden, in order to make enough profit to afford the new ...

Aiming for the Crane

Friday, February 20th, 2009

This is exciting, my material efficiency (ME) research jobs are getting closer to completion, which means two things. First, I get a bunch of researched blueprints delivered to my hangar, a whole lot of new toys all at once! Second, my research slots will be freed for more ...
