EVE is still cool

So, not much to post in the last month or so. I've been working as a shelf stocker at Menard's for a while now, and need to sleep a half hour ago to get up at 4:30am. EVE still occupies my thoughts and takes a good chunk of my time.

I've been losing money in the game of late, mostly due to me spending more time buying things and less time mining. I also haven't won any competitions in EVE-Radio lately. Still, I'm not poor yet, and my skill plan will have me ready to tackle level 3 missions soon, as well as perhaps trying an assault frigate.

I tried ninja-mining in 0.4 space a little bit. Fun, exciting, but not too profitable. I suppose if I spent a whole day doing it, I'd get enough Zyd to make it worthwhile... or if I dragged out my Osprey instead of using the throw-away Bantam I used. We'll have to see. A bantam costs 75K to outfit for this purpose (maybe less), so even an hour of mining covers it. An Osprey is around 5M so it hurts a little more if I lose it.

Oh yes, welcome to Don, who at least downloaded the client this past weekend, and was asking what race we were. I haven't seen him in-game yet, so I don't know if he actually started his 14-day trial.

More later, sleep now.
