It’s been almost a month since last I wrote something here. Mostly because I don’t have much to say but I am also currently working on a few projects, one of which I’m hoping to get finished by the end of this month, or at least by half of October. And obviously it has something…
Did you know that wasps are basically drug addicts? Their young secrete something that’s quite like sugar for the protein that their workers provide them. Protein that was gotten by going after caterpillars or aphids and whatnot. But by the end of the summer there’s no more larvae to give protein to, no larvae mean…
Despite the fact that I basically only log on to EvE for fleets on a Tuesday and Sunday, I do still play the game. Kind of. PvP can be expensive, so you need to have somewhat of an income. In the past I used to generate said income by doing market trading, buy low sell…
Did you know that bees dance in order to communicate where they can find water or good flowers? It’s called the waggle dance. The other day we went on a search for the queen. As most of you probably know, the queen is at the centre of the colony. No queen, no new bees, no…
Did you know that depending on where they get their nectar, the honey will look and taste different? As I’ve explained in my first post about these wonderful little creatures, it’s only been a few weeks since me and my buddy decided on becoming beekeepers ourselves. As per usual, my motus operandi doesn’t consist of…
Bees have been kept throughout the centuries. There are cave paintings in Spain out there from thousands of years ago that shows people on a rope trying to get to that sweet sticky stuff we call honey. It was the ancient Egyptians themselves that were the first to keep bees themselves in a kind of…
Did you know that bees were around for more than one hundred million years, whereas we as a species (homo sapiens), have only been around for about 100 000 of it? It is only fair then that the bee has a place in myth too. In this particular case the Greek myths, as told by…
Did you know that male bees (also called drones) only have on purpose? They only live to mate with a virgin queen in order to have somewhat of a genetic diversity in hives. This because a virgin queen mates with multiple drones from multiple colonies in what is called a drone congregation area.Oh, and their…
Did you know that bees take care of approximately 30% of our food? Neither did I, the more you know. About a week ago from this writing I decided that I wanted to become a beekeeper. The other day my equipment arrived. ‘But’ you ask yourself, why on earth would you make a decision like…
Hello dear reader! It has almost literally been six whole months since I last made a post, I’m still alive! I just don’t have much to talk about really. Not when it comes to EvE Online at least. I still play the game, I log in at least once, usually twice a week, but other…
As per usual, I have been “busier” than I thought I would be doing other things (gaming, lots and lots of gaming).I have been meaning to write more often but unfortunately, didn’t. My fault, so, hello there. There’s been a few things going on in EvE, on one hand you have the new event that’s…
It has been roughly, 8 months since I last posted a blog post. Damn, and here I promised I would try and do more of them. But I have been busy so let’s just blame it on that shall we? Today, december 14th started with the realization of me once more going “I should spend…
The other day I logged on to do my PI in the hole only to come to the conclusion that I couldn’t undock my Epithal. Turns out I was not allowed to have 3 warp stabs in it. Now, I tend to live under a rock when it comes to eve online updates. I don’t…
The problem about going on a bit of a holiday is that you forget about the things you are supposed to be doing. Or at least some of the things you were planning to write about. The past few weeks I have joined in a few very fun roams with the rest of the corporation….
The other day I was reminded of some of the people I’ve met in EvE who I have also met in the offline world and it made me smile. It made me realise that the whole “Friendship is the best ship” is an actual thing. I’m quite happy with having met some of the people…
The thrill of the hunt A few days ago I was getting familiar with scanning again. This because in the past few weeks I haven’t been doing it much while playing on the laptop. During my mapping of the holes surrounding our home I came across a few people on my dscan. Nothing major, a…
The past few weeks have made me realise how handy a second screen is. I’ve spent the past few weeks in England playing just with a laptop instead of my normal system. And let me tell you, that I do miss my extra screens. Rolling holes, scanning,.. Everything is so much easier with a secondary…
A few days ago, someone I know asked me how to get into PvP. It took me by surprise and made me think long and hard about the how. In the end, I couldn’t really give him a good answer. EvE is so much different than other games when it comes to PvP. If you…
