EVE-Sweden

I’m soon going to Iceland, yes I know the timing is bad – Fanfest was last weekend. I go with my job tho, so it will be conferences and other fun stuff there but I will definitely visit CCP offices!

Iceland here I come!

Oh! I could’nt go to sleep so I stayed up and worked with a few projects of mine and now it’s time to install the latest patch from CCP, Quantum Rise!

It’s going to be exciting to see how weapon grouping works, and to see if EVE has become any faster. A few other updates, I’m working on a new EVE project that will hopefully be up before the end of the year. Nice as hell, it’s a webapp that will run on Django. Right after this I will also look over the members section and port it to the same tool.

Time to try out Quantum Rise! Patch notes here.

Hey ya’ll!

Been a while since last, as usual, things seems to be never ending. The only hope for a breather is christmas, which will be a nice downtime for me.

Oh well, as of tonight and about 6 hours back, EVE have been hit by serious network lag. Something is seriously wrong as TQ is not accepting more than 13k players at the time. During the last hour or so I have reconnected almost 20 times. Now, 22:49 CET, the servers are down for reboot once again (second unscheduled reboot today) so hoping they fixed the lag issue this time.

Lots of rumors are going around it has to do with GBC reinforcements taken to the front where they’ve lost many ships the last days. That is, of course, a big pile of shit as you might have guessed. Funny anyhow :-) There were actually some serious fighting over the last couple of days over at E-O. GBC forces have been heavily in combat with NC troops. Go check out the details over at BoB’s killboard and Mosus Mihi’s killboard. Among a few, several carriers, dreadnaughts, motherships and even a titan has gone down!

The strong EVE voice out in the eter CrazyKinux has made a sweet little thing called the blogroll that he maintains over at his site. This is basically a list of all EVE related blogs out there today and is a great way to inject yourself with more EVE related news.

He has also setup a speedlinking list which basically is a set of useful links to related EVE stuff. Very handy neat thingie basically. Go check them all out over at his little hut.

Oh well, CCP decided to nerf skill training this time. I cant say I fancy their actions on this one as I think its one of the cool things that makes EVE a better game than the rest MMOs. Its now however a fact from today onwards, if your accout goes inactive, your skill training will stop immediately.

CCP, rethink this one for next patch. If this is for the sake of money, you wont get more from me because of it.

Another patch from CCP that will hopefull fix Jita problems even more, I must say that I have been happy with the lag last few days.

Some other stuff in there as well, one cool thing is the ability to add systems to avoid in autopilot. That will be a very welcome feature. Nice, me likes.

It’s indeed busy days and I havent been able to do much as of late. The little spare time has gone to my family and not much else. However, as fall and winter approach, I have high hopes that before 1st anniversary new stuff in members area should be online. Thats my aim anyway.

Stay tuned.

Today the Empyrean Age 1.1 patch will be delpoyed to servers. It has a lot of bug fixes but also some other major changes coming one of them being the change how fast CONCORD arrives and its effectiveness when illegal fighting occurs in high sec space.

The security hit when pirating is also drastically increased, so biggest changes here is anti-pirate stuff. It’s now also possible to kill noob corp players in 0.0 without getting a standings hit towards that corporation.

Another good thing is that you are now able to clone jump to a clone in a station you are currently docked in without loosing the other. All due to “an improvement in the Jump Clone mechanism” hehe.

Phew! Now the major part of the translation work is done. An extension for Radiant is installed, configured and in use. Other parts of this site is now also using Globalize plugin for Rails, since it (ruby) has no support for different locales (unfortunately). This is a shame as it really is quite a bit of work to get it working good when it comes out of the box in languages like Python.

To the point. Next thing that will get updated now is the Members area. Yes, that’s right. First it will be translated so it also it will be available in Swedish. Then it will get a major rework from the proof of concept code I wrote up some months ago now. Great things indeed!

Oh one last thing. This site is, and will remain, a free service. I spend the few hours I have on this website and would appreciate any donations or help I can get. Send ISK donations (any amounts, everything counts) to “Mr Goldfish” or atleast use my banner on this page (the one next to the top news to the right) to purchase game time cards. Thanks!

Right now work is in progress with the first step of the implementation of multilanguage support. The page you are reading now is the first one to get the new support. To switch between swedish and english, just click the flag of your choice up to the right.
