In EVE, like most other MMOs, I play something of a healer. In EVE that involves (for me, at least) flying a specialised cruiser fitted with remote shield-restoring or armour-restoring modules, and following my friends and their battleships around waiting for someone to need shields or armour.
I qualified for a new ship the other day, bought one and took it out for the first time this evening. My other logistics cruiser restores shields, so I thought that having one that instead repairs armour would help me cover another base. Except it's just nowhere near as much fun.

I want to try Fallen Earth (feel free not to visit that link: it's going to ask you to give your DoB so I suspect it would like to be NSFW, and to be honest I doubt it's worth the hassle one way or another).
You know you're beginning to get all the best of a topic in your feed reader when you've already read the article to which todays blogs are leading you.
I'm watching 'School of Comedy'. Most of it is pretty awful, although two of the sketches in the first half really appealed to me. One line stuck out:
(having accused someone of being gay): "Not that there's anything wrong with that: I'm not a homophone."

So, although most if not all of the people who might read this have probably already noticed (and I suspect even they only remembered me because of it), I've started 'tweeting' again. I'm kind of treating it as a big semi-public instant messenger, for which it is eminently inappropriate but I must admit there's something nice about the way it does go all over the place.
Quite likely to remember to at least keep an eye on it now, due to a little browser plug-in gizmo. Let's face it, unless I'm at work or asleep, chances are I've got a web browser open, even if only in the background.

I just got an e-mail from SOE, saying that their Free Character Transfer service has been 'so successful' that they're shutting down 12 servers, and they've extended the window to transfer my characters, for free, to one of the other 13.
I don't really follow Photoshop Disasters; it's something I stuck in Google Reader and recommended to the Better Half when I heard about it, because she's got some kind of interest in learning photoshop. She never looked at it, which is the normal reaction to the recommendations I make when she wants to learn things, and I never got around to dumping it from Reader.
The latest post, and especially the follow-up at Boing Boing are awesome. That summary at the end of the Boing Boing post is genius.

It just occurred to me how much I'm trying to do at the moment, and a sudden thought of how these things are working together (or not, as the case may be) was of interest to me.
As always, things of interest to me might not interest anyone else. Your mileage may vary.

Last night, I finished my quest for a difficult Xbox Live achievement in Bejewelled 2. You know, the one I've been chasing for ages, and which by the look of it around a thousand people in the world are demonstrably good enough to get. Well, the point wasn't to boast (it's not like it's a transferable skill*).
