Sorry for the delay … previous comments are lost since my previous host had deleted the comment table in the database.
For the same reason, when I dumped the database, and inserted it into my new one, the comment table didn’t exist, and leaving a comment wasn’t possible.
Now, this is fixed, so you can start giving me feedback :)
Enjoy !
Hi !
I’ve been tricked into trying EVE-Online last week, and … Damn ! I can’t stop playing ! This game has most of the things I would like in a game, and not too many flaws.
Things I like :
– many career choices are possible (fighter, merchant, miner, engineer, etc.)
– futuristic environment
– progressive tutorial, and noob-friendly community
– very active community
– multiplayer interaction is great (nothing to do with some WoW-like stuff)
– I don’t have to play everyday, i can go with my own rythm
– I can also work in the same time, and perhaps do some transportation that doesn’t require my attention
– if I have time, I can actually do stuff, like missions or whatever I feel like
– there is much more than 2 sides :) which allows diplomacy, alliances, wars, fight for resources, etc.
– there is a nice 3D environment, although I would have like the game even without a nice GUI
– there is 14 free trial days
– some tools can help you manage your character
Things I dislike:
– there could be a queue for the skills to be learnt
– the clients for Windows, Mac and Linux need some bug fixes, the worst being the one for Mac.
– it’s not cheap
I advise you try it for yourself :)
The only problem is that now I just want to play …

And if this needed to be proven again, I would take Excel as an example.
How did this crap get sold in the first place ??? How come, after over 15 years of experience, it still doesn’t fulfil the basic requirements ???
What’s wrong with it, you may ask ? Well, let’s see:
– if you want to open 2 files with same name, but in different folders, you’ll have to use something else ;
– if you want to copy and paste non-adjacent cells (say, 1A, 1B and 1D ; note that I don’t want to copy the whole line, because I may already have something important in 1C, 1E, 2C and 2E), from the same line, they will be pasted in an adjacent way (2A, 2B and 2C instead of 2A, 2B and 2D) ;
– it is impossible to Undo after you’ve saved ;
– you name it, the list would be too long.
Thing is, any competitor do at least that much.
And I keep hearing here and there : “But … X can’t be that bad, it wouldn’t be so popular” Replace X with almost any over dominating product on the market (who said Windows ?). Think a bit, people, if somebody makes some crap and many people buy it, it still IS a crap product.
Good day !

Hi all and welcome !
Since I’ve been very disappointed with my previous host, I decided to host my website myself, and just use some free redirecting solution (DynDNS). It may affect the website’s speed and response time, due to my connection’s limitations (I have a 1Mb/s upload), but at least, it’s mine. Please feel free to let me know if you encounter issues browsing it.
Now, geek talk:
The server machine is a basic Mac Mini (1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM), because it doesn’t take much space, and most importantly, it doesn’t make any noise at all. Also, it looks cool :)
The OS isn’t MacOS anymore, since I had such a terrible time trying to install PHP5 on it, and because I believe the main point of having a Mac is to enjoy the GUI (not gonna happen if it is a server). Instead, I went for an easy-to-install kUbuntu: 10 min to install the OS, 3 “apt-get install” commands for AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) and 1 for SSH, and I was almost set. It then takes 5 minutes to create new database and user, and other basic stuff. Then, of course you can take your time to actually install your website content from your workplace or anywhere.
Who said Linux wasn’t “nice and easy” ?
