Small things

So another month rolls by and 800 million disappears from my account to keep my accounts open.
Ive been reluctant to make a new post as there’s simply been nothing much happening, I hoped to have my two new accounts open by now, but I’ve not had time to actually mine the needed minerals to pay for the extra plexs. I’ve spent a lot of my time working on little programming projects so not spent much time on eve apart from keeping my accounts open and keeping them training.
Incarna 1.1.1 was released today and I’m downloading that, but the changes it brings don’t really affect me so I’ve not much looked into what it actually fixes. Little things with the cargo hold and bits like that. My tech 3 ships are still flying backwards but I still won’t refresh my cache as I like the looks of it.
I got this blog listed on eve-blogger.com which seems to have brought some more traffic to the blog which is always nice. That site doe have a lot of great blogs listed, and some that I had never heard of before.

Now as my reader I want to give you some reason to come back and actually read my blog and pass it on to your friends to read, however I do not know what you want from me, so what I am asking is you leave a comment saying what you would like to see me doing with the blog. If you want me to start doing some fiction again I can. I did eve fiction a long time ago and never really got it posted but I could have another crack at it while mining.

Incarna 1.1 and Ice

So the new forums are being (re)Released, this in its own right should be good, now I did use the forums before they got took down last time and they weren’t too bad there was some glaring problems with them, which really should not have made it into the release they released but CCP did see the error in their ways after a largish security breach was found in the code.
Now I’ve had a poke around the test forums but I’m not yet sure if they have fixed the huge quotation marks that were in the last iteration, for the people who didn’t see them before these quotation marks were so large they were adding on 4 lines of space without actually adding anything into this space other than the quotation image on the left hand side. So hopefully this has been fixed to save some real estate on the screen.
They will be adding some new stuff to eve gate and making it look a bit more spiffy which should be good. Now I don’t use eve gate as a social networking site like CCP hoped I would, all I simply use it for is reading my eve mails on my phone when I'm away from my pc. This I believe is more use then most people use it, however if CCP can do it correctly then I believe that they could very possibly get it to be used how they wish it to be used.

In mining terms it’s been slow. I had my birthday yesterday so spent most of last night out with friends so no mining happened then and before that I was in Wales again so absolutely no mining has been happened since Tuesday night last week, which means in the long run I could very possibly be able to only sub one account this month which isn’t too bad as I can still mine with just one account but it does mean that I can’t have my boosts from the Orca which I still have to buy anyway so currently my second account is just training up till I can get him an Orca to sit in and increase my ISK per hour from 8-9 mill to 14 mill.
I’m also still going to get some more account’s it will just be when I can actually get the ISK in-game to buy two new plexs which hopefully at the rate I’m currently mining should be the end of this week. Now the first two account I’m going to train them into Hulk's. However what I’ve been thinking is after that with me living in high sec the roids aren’t that big and trying to multitask with more than 4 characters mining, targeting fresh roids/ emptying the cargo hold could overwhelm me so which about ice. Now I live in a system with a ice belt so it wouldn’t involve moving anywhere, the roids never pop and all the multitasking I would need to do is making sure the cargo hold was empty into the Orca and then having the hauler warping back and for emptying the Orca's hold so I would not need to warp off the Orca and lose any boost. So after 4 mining account's this could very well be the better idea until I can move to null and get my strip miners on those massive rocks.
Either way hopefully I should be opening two new accounts by next week and tripling my current ISK input within 2 months.
