Eve Online Fleet Tool

January 23rd, 2009 No Comments »

Well, I have been waiting to write this post for quite some time now. Being in Eve Online for a little over a year now, I have had the pleasure of being in a few fleet engagements. I have had the most fun, being part of fleets that are run well, by successful Fleet Commanders (FCs). These particular FCs had the benefit of a very useful tool. It was simply called the Fleet Tool. It was written in PHP and had the ability to be accessed by both the FC and all pilots to be in the fleet.

Now I never had the opportunity to see the code for it, but since I am a programmer I decided to get started on it. I don’t know whether or not it makes use of flat files or a database, but I chose to make use of MySQL.

A dedicated fleet tool page has been added to this site, here: http://www.eds-online.net/eve-fleet-tool/

Pixar Short, Presto

January 6th, 2009 1 Comment »

I love Pixar. They are true masters of animation and comedy. If you are having a bad day, then please watch this little short. If you’ve never seen it before, try not to laugh to loudly (especially if you are at work). This short was the theatrical opening for Wall-E, another great Pixar movie, and it is also part of the DVD.
