| 2010-07-09 12:36:42 | Chilled Mining Op |
Last night I had a small ice mining op with the cemetery team and a few other friends. The purpose of this op was to get enough ice together to fuel the cemetery tower for a month. Roughly about 350 units of ice provides us with the fuel for around 20 days. After the initial boredom of insane cycle times was dealt with we had a good time and managed to fill the orca about 3 times. I am undecided as to if we should do this sort of op more often. In future I might open it up to the public, including the lovely people in #eve-cem. | |

Today I managed to anchor my 733rd grave at the cemetery. This means the new cemetery is larger than the old one that Goonswarm destroyed. I still have around 8000 corpses in the backlog to deal with, but keep the donations coming! It also happens to be my 6th EVE birthday today! I was planning to organise a quiz but I haven't had time. I still haven't been able to unpack properly after moving home. | |

I know I have been very quiet the last few weeks, that is because I got a new job IRL and logistics of moving home have been quite hectic. I'm now settled in sort of... not quite happy with my housemates but that is besides the point. I am working on moving to a more lively town when I have paid off the credit card. The main issue with living here is the chronic lack of bandwidth, I get about 4Mbps on a good day (down from 20 in the city). It is looking like my ISP practices throttling too, I've been seeing a clear drop in performance every day at roughly the same time with it then picking up again long after midnight. All in all this means that missions are very laggy, I struggle watching the BBC iPlayer and skyping my parents is difficult. I am going to ease myself back into scanning, maybe dabble in Planetary Interaction and then hitting up the Amarr Epic Arc again. In closing I just want to thank the dedicated band of tower refuellers who kept the cemetery ticking over while I was offline. Epic thanks to Karin and Jinkei who managed to organise everything. | |

I have spent the last few weeks search high and low in Nakregde for more apartment space in the station. While my previous location was fine, it was getting a bit small for my tastes and a few undesirable pilots had moved into that floor. I had several arguements with the station administrators about knocking through walls to extend the size of my old apartments. They complained about airtight walls and other such nonsense. Anyway I have a lovely new apartment, much larger, in a more secluded area of the station. I even have a garden! Which reminds me I must hire a gardener... If I wanted more space now I'd either have to move into a ship hanger or move planetside. Considering how I feel about the weather I'm experiencing here on Nakregde 6 currently that isn't likely to be an option. I am having to live planetside for the next week or so while my things are moved to the apartment. Can't wait to get back in my pod! | |

I have had builders stomping around the house today so I took my trusty laptop and spent all day applying for jobs while hiding out in a local cafe. I spotted this cool blog the other day and decided to try the app on my laptop. the resulting images is my work, pixel pushing, from about 1000 GMT to 2030 GMT today. | |

I have managed to anchor over 500 graves at the cemetery. There are slightly more corpses than that due to mausoleums. This accounts for the difference seen at the bottom of the page. | |

| 2010-02-02 19:18:35 | Welcome to the Domain of Azia |
I have finally managed to gather myself together and have got myself my own domain name! You should update your bookmarks to point to www.AziaBurgi.me.uk. The old subdomain at GeekAndProud will still work. Why the change? Well, although I wrote the software for this site the subdomain made me feel I was squatting. It wasn't me, if that makes sense. I had a crisis of identity last night and talked it over with Yang and Cyke (thanks guys!). It was a case of branding, horrible marketing speak but apt. I felt I needed to divorce myself from... It is difficult to explain. Anyway I am happier with my new home and a reinforced vision of what the Bolthole means to me and to others. | |

I just have to thank Chaos WithIn for a most generous donation of over 5000 Small Secure Cans for use as graves in the cemetery. The donation means that I should have enough cans to cover the current backlog which will take me at least 6 months to clear. | |
