Learning a lesson

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Forgetting about the time and letting your jet-can expire is not a mistake someone makes twice.

My first steps with a BPO

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

I decide not to throw myself in to industry and manufacturing without some instruction from people who know better. There will still be much I need to learn myself and I see no point in hampering my early efforts through mistakes that could be avoided with a little research. ...

Stumbling in to The Nexus

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I haven't really done much in the way of instances in Northrend yet. This is because my small guild has been a little fragmented over the holidays, my taking time to level a death knight through Outlands and somehow perservering with her mining and blacksmithing skills, even before the ...

Changing course

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Along with the ISK rewards and bounties for my recent level three missions I also pick up a whole bunch of looted modules along with plenty of salvaged parts. Rather than selling these on the market I will hold on to them. I could refine the looted modules ...

Changes to mining

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

I feel somewhat accomplished, particularly as I never made it ...

Battlecruiser vs. NPC battleship

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Having interrupted a diplomatic exchange by blowing up one of the emissaries the two factions are rather aggravated. With one diplomatic vessel not even scratched during the attack the other faction is suspicious of their involvement. Now my agent tells me it is time to drive home the ...

Driving an initial wedge

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I call on my agent and he has some work for me. 'Cadet Ibramovic, would you do us a favour and blow up a diplomat?' Sure thing. Wait, what? It's as if he's been eavesdropping on my thoughts, as I've been looking for something a little ...

Rock Band: Boy Band Edition

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Zoso is a demon at Guitar Hero games, approximating a precision industrial machine when hammering the buttons on a fake plastic guitar. His awesome aptitude also carries over on to the drums in Rock Band. He's a bit scary in his ability. Over on Twitter he wrote ...
