Capsuleer is now at version 2.0 and is much improved over its initial release. The pilot information screen familiar to users of version 1.0 is still present, detailing the skill being learnt and its completion date and time, your skill point total, and the ISK balance of your wallet, ...

Music of 2008: prologue

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

When I play music on my iPod Touch I really miss the album shuffle mode available on my old third generation iPod. When I got the Touch I didn't realise it was missing a feature that I used extensively and when I saw it was missing I didn't think ...

Keeping track of EVE Online skill training with Capsuleer

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

The new certificate system and planner in EVE Online offers a far more interactive and engaging method of character progression than the basic character sheet skill interface. The character sheet is still there and remains the tool for selecting which skills to train but the certificate system and planner ...

The elusive iPod Touch album shuffle

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

When listening to music I generally listen to whole albums, played start to finish, rather than individual tracks. I find that, unlike for some other media, a great deal of satisfaction in listening to music comes from the expectation and gratification of knowing what is to come, so while ...

Capsuleer mobile skill tracking

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

In my overview of portable EVE Online skil tracking last week I mentioned how I wasn't able to get Capsuleer running, only trying EVE Tracker as a result. I will point out again that it was only because I had shut down my computer and didn't want to power ...

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Tracking EVE Online skill training on an iPod Touch

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Whilst casually browsing the iPod Touch applications on the iTMS the other day I found a piece of software of interest, EVE Tracker by Saggysoft. It's a simple application that allows you to keep track of your skill training in EVE Online on your iPod Touch or iPhone. ...

Fixing my CD player

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I don't play CDs that often any more, instead generally listening to my old third generation iPod, plugged in to my A/V system, playing all of my music on random album play. It is nice to be able to interrupt the iPod's playlist without losing its place by using ...

iPod Touch applications

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I poked around the new application store for the iPhone and iPod Touch when it was opened a couple of weeks ago. Apart from getting the Remote application, which allows my iPod Touch to control iTunes on my desktop machine over the wireless network, nothing really grabbed me as ...

Cheese still gives me nightmares

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I didn't sleep terribly well this weekend. I had two nightmares Saturday night, both waking me up and one causing me to try to scream in my sleep, which wasn't pleasant. This left me feeling a bit tired on Sunday, although it was mostly a pleasantly relaxing day. ...
