For the past few weeks, I've been playing Eve Online. The game itself has a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you're up to the top it's all easy.

I've got a few ships active. A couple mining barges, and a couple of haulers.

By the end of the month, I'll have a decent mining operation fleet together.

If anyone feels like giving eve a try, note me for a 21-day trial.

I'm thinking about breaking out my old highschool art portfolios to see about filling my gallery out a bit.

Not sure if I'm going to yet or not, and I'm not sure the scanner will last long enough to get them all.

I got the replacement hard drive today for my laptop, however it's dead.

I'm going to have to go through all kinds of mess to get some resolution out of this.

I wish I didn't have to deal with this kind of mess at all.

Well, it finally happened after over 5 years. My laptop died.

The DVD drive has been kinda wonky for about 6 months, taking like five tries to get disks working, but today the hard drive did a click of death.

$200+ to replace the dead parts
