The Newbie Blogger Initiative is intended to offer advice and encouragement for anyone considering starting a blog but perhaps not quite knowing where to start. It may seem a little presumptuous to assume I can inspire new bloggers, but, to be fair, so is thinking I can tell anyone how ...

I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I'd worry that this will affect my decision-making, but it would probably only help given my recent record. Either way, feeling a little sluggish won't matter unless I find some activity, and to do that I first need to get myself out of ...

All looks quiet. And it is. Or, without wanting to repeat myself, it looks quiet. All I can say for now is that there are no obvious ships in the home system. Only after I launch probes and take a more careful look around am I actually convinced the home ...

A new static wormhole leads to another boring-looking system. I renewed our static wormhole to isolate ourselves from an occupied but empty class 3 w-space system, where the only indication of activity happened when I was pushing the Orca through the wormhole to collapse it. Now I'm looking at my ...

The gas has gone, bringing sweet relief to me. Still, it's made way for some stones the size of small European countries, which is probably going to cause a little more discomfort than a couple of stinky gas clouds, but they should pass through my system in a few days ...

All alone in space again, so sad. It's just me and my gas. Hey, maybe that's why I'm alone. I need to get rid of the gas! Damn, I think I'm suffering from space madness, so enough of the high jinks and on to exploring the w-space constellation for today. ...

I'm still getting to gigs, still with mixed results. Here are my experiences from the first gigs of the year.
Wild Flag/Peggy Sue at Electric Ballroom
Peggy Sue play first, and though seem pretty good initially they start to wear on me as the set continues. I'm not sure why at first, ...

It looked like the night was over, but it seems there are more benefits in connecting to our sister w-space system than merely stealing ammunition. My attempt to collapse our static wormhole has resulted in a critically destabilised connection, one which I don't quite fancy pushing a ship through again, ...

If no one's around again tonight I may just go home early. Well, come back home early. I am home. And it looks like it's just me here. But I more meant about there being no one in the w-space constellation, and to find that out I'd better start scanning. ...

My little corner of space looks pretty quiet, which is a pleasant start to the evening. Launching scanning probes, blanketing the system, and warping to a more central point shows the home system to be clear of hostile ships and unexpected signatures, which lets me take time to see what ...
