Trapped in space during the Odyssey build

I have awoken in space.

I had been mining an isolated belt full of Kernite; my drones orbiting around my ship keep their vigilant and protective watch over me. I must have fallen asleep. but I wake to something as wondrous as it is scary. The Odyssey build. the sights I am seeing out here are beautiful and terrifying. I cannot describe the magnitude and depth of them. A vast swirling chaos of binary code as the world is built anew. In the distance my systems' lone star shoots rays of life which pierces through and highlights the re-birth around me. Asteroids fizzle and are reborn, stars shudder and fade, then come to life again. black holes form, Some spew life while others draw into themselves that which was and will never be again.

But no! the code crosses my ship! A blinking from reality and then back again! and then again. I am experiencing momentary lapses in my own synaptic processes as the codec swirls around and through me, my ship and then my loyal drones blink out of existence and then return. A whiteness surrounds me, an empty scary blinding whiteness, and then the black.

It is quiet.

Ah, the asteroids have returned, I think all is ok, I watch in the distance, all around me the continuing swirl of creation. But no, it is not moving on and out to further regions of space. I am caught in the middle of some gigantic universal space hurricane of sorts. I am sitting in the eye as it moves around me, sure to cross my path once again. The swirl is becoming more intense and growing smaller as the walls of this great binary storm close on me!

Male Drone Ted! I call for you HELP ME! Breach your once and forever omnipresence through the chaos to retrieve me, my ship, my drones from this hell! carry us safely to our hangar. I am swirling, faster now; Bending, descending and blinking in and out from existence!
TED Please help us, Ted where are you, Ted........

I could USE that winning pile of Isk because of my frivolous spending habits there is no doubt!

EVE Portraits

A non-Scam Scam looking ...something.

I have a non-scam scam-ish thing I use for kicks in Jita's scam filled local chat. Something a little entertaining while shopping or selling in Jita. Sometimes I get isk from people saying thanks for the honesty in a sea of crooks. If you are familiar with Local chat there you will hopefully appreciate the blatant sarcasm of this truthiness.

Here's the non-scam
"NOT A SCAM!!!! TRUTH!!!! if you give me A lot of money I will keep it safe in my wallet until I find something frivolous to spend it on. Mostly Wine and Drop so you know your isk is spent well!"

NOTE: "A lot of money" "Drop" and "Wine" are in-game links to items.

Someone initiated a pm chat tonight about it. here's that log.

Violet Aeon > k

Taisho Aishai > hey

Taisho Aishai > are your serious about the money thing?

Violet Aeon > ya think!

Taisho Aishai > no i don't

Taisho Aishai > seems like a scam

Violet Aeon > i like spending isk

Violet Aeon > ...on me

Taisho Aishai > why?

Taisho Aishai > i dont have very much though...maybe you could show some proof?

Violet Aeon > proof of whaT? that I'll spend it frivolously?

Then they left the pm chat.

Someone said they saw this used somewhere by someone else and wondered if it was really mine. Yes, yes it is. If someone is using it,Well,imitation is the best form of flattery.

Getting my Reaper on!

Fireworks in Dodixie

Something to do during downtime tonight. So I was flipping thru some screenshots I've taken and not looked at till now. Here's one from a few weeks-ish ago. Sitting in the Catalyst watching the fireworks in Dodixie. This was the day they gave fireworks to everyone for their launchers. It was quite the display and an individual pic can in no way describe the colorful chaos.

This would have been a good opportunity to grab some video. If I knew how to do that.

Had some fun while in Jita the other day. Was there trading a few things and buying...well...frivolous stuff (new clothes, yes) and some training manuals, new crystals for the mining operation etc etc. but anyway, anyone who has been there knows of the incessant scams that are offered up in local chat there. I just thought I'd have a bit of fun with that so I posted what you see in the image. Yeah, I posted it the same incessant way that any of the regular scammers post their "wares" and "contracts". But I did it with a SPIN as you'll see. It actually garnered me a Million ISK! LOL. Well, I won't make a habit of it, Mining does quite a bit better for my wallet. But it was fun and the sarcastic honesty did pay off a little while I was shopping :)

Back in the Retriever and stripping the astroids!

Finally Back In New Eden!!!!!!

salvaging these days

wow, has it really been since apr 29th since I posted an update? time flys. That said, I've been spending my time ratting and salvaging these days. Yes, I am finding it to be easier to NOT fall asleep at the helm. Had a run of that crap while mining and lost a few pricey barges due to that for those that don't know. duh! blonde moment, whatever. hat's all behind me and am now enjoying running around ratting.
I'm still tweaking my Catalysts fit but it's working out pretty well, tho there have been those that have thrown a fel lol's at the fit....what....ever....!!! :) it works for me and like I said, I'm still getting it together. And, waiting patiently,(sorta), for my training to complete so I can use tech 2 salvagers, about 10 days to go at this posting. yes, yes, I have already purcheased a couple of them not thinking that i wasn't alreasdy trained up to them :p
fine, they'll be there when I'm ready.

Fly safe!

bar stool convos

I must be really tired. or maybe just still fuzzy since I just woke up somehow at 4:30 AM
:p
But I logged on and Fon And Hackjack were having a convo about something in chat. It came to mind that wouldn't it be fun to just sit at a bar with someone and talk in Eve lingo. Not letting anyone else at the cozy little pub on to that you are talking anything other than this worldly. Just to intentionaly make them think to themselves. WTF?

I wonder how long this could go on before someone might ask of us, "Hey, sorry to evesdrop but what are you guys talking about."

1st of all someone would have to speak up with the understanding that we would then know that they were in fact evesdropping. Maybe we could pass it off as like "Hey it's ok, we just got back from [insert some foreign countries name here]. and were talking of the opportunities there." or some such reply.

here's the convo that sparked this thought in my still hazy head"

Fon SaiHoc > only medium c-type i got so far was the remote repair :\

hackjack > ;p(

Fon SaiHoc > radar sites are nice for fast easy isks

hackjack > yep 5 mill even 15 mill if you lucky

hackjack > for 2 mins work

Fon SaiHoc > a signature i was tracking just disappeared :\


Thanks Fon And Hackjack for being there to inspire this little haze :)

Fly safe!

taste of reality. aka ( when I'm bleach blonde it's representative of some Epic personal FAIL in New Eden)

whew, what a dose of reality I have gotten this week. And the reason for the bleach.
1-DO NOT undock if you are way to tired
2-DON"T go mining if you think your going to be leaving notes like this,(iuykjhn) on your keyboard with your forehead.
3-DO make sure your sound is up to hear what is going on around you if you are very tired whilst mining in a very expensive fitted ship

Explanation: Yes dammit! I did lose 4 Fully fitted uninsured Covetors to little stupid RATS in the last week and a half because I started mining too late and fell asleep while doing so. Damn!!!

Ok, I will not be buying another for a while until things calm back a bit. But at least I did have a couple Retrievers gathering dust in a couple far flung stations. Another little while of gathering stuff from some hangars of mine gets the thing fitted up.

I also have found myself doing a variety of other stupid shits like loading ice harvesters then trying to mine kernite, wondering why it won't work. thought, "oh, A new discovery, I can't mine kernite with a strip miner 1 huh?"
DUH!
So I go back to the station at which time I think I figure out that it's because I don't have any crystals loaded up in the miners right?
DUH again.
so I wonder why the crystals won't load.
Bangs forehead on the helm.
loads up the strip miners
loads the crystals
hits esc.<----best thing I could have done on that one particular night and should have done a number of times prior recently

Yes, I have learned a lesson.

Looks fwd to the day when just flippin dingy is back and I can cut out this blatant bleach blonde stuff.

Ok, I'm going to hit the station services to change the hairstyle up a bit. Can you say BLEACH BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!

. Fly safe New Eden.
