CSM08

A huge bellowing "gratz" to the lucky 9 and the 5 stand bys. Alas, I did not make it in on this occasion. Thank you all who voted for me. I hope the next CSM election has a bigger voting turnout than the inaugural one.  read more »

Hello everyone.

As the voting period is coming to an end, I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few words.

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has voted for me for doing so and I will remain true to my ethos as outlined in my posts and blog. I hope that I have the opportunity to serve you. If I do, I will serve you well.  read more »

A knee-jerk reaction to prevent Bacon from working was to change the way local works. But if you look into this evil little application further a whole host of nastiness is lurking there.

Bacon is an open source application that plays an audible alert when other players enter local according to standings.  read more »

After one hell of a hectic day at work today it was with a certain amount of relief that I saw an email from CCP Xhagen arrive.

There's always a degree of trepidation when you apply for things like this. Is it really fair? Will they mysteriously lose my application? Will I complete the form correctly?

Luckily, yes, no and yes are the answers here!  read more »

An alternate reality maybe?

This is a little tongue in cheek response to an allegation that certain CSM candidates (including me) lack any vision.

If you want more please let me know, it was fun. BUT, my stance is not that important. I would rather know YOUR stance.  read more »
