Heinrich Beginnings

It’s been two weeks since graduation and all Heinrich Hertz can think about is how he got hustled into the most boring job in the Eve universe. Here he was at the Center of Advanced Studies, the home of the Centurion Jump Drive and he was stuck researching the perfect nanite composition for the Clean Flush. Everyone knows the Gallenteans can be pretentious, but come on, a skid less toilet. Just as the last messy experiment was coming to an end, a secure communication popped up on the terminal. Heinrich removed his gloves, applied an extra dose of sanitation liquid and eagerly went to investigate his first personal communication on the job.

How symbolic, the first email is spam. Everyone thought the Concord email tax would stem the flow of this insistent electronic demon, but the unintended reality was a significant jump in high quality solicitations allowing the electronic pirates to easily make up for the piddly tax. Why doesn’t Concord just admit they want our money and could care less about stopping spam? Hmm, how interesting, it seems Roden Shipyard Factories wants to make use of my skills in quantum physics to further their cutting edge research in shield systems. I am to meet their research agent at Seyllin VI - Moon 3 to begin my moonlighting with them. Wow, could you imagine the missed opportunity if I had flushed that email.

Phoenix Propulsion Labs Application

As a temporary entry for my Eve blog, I wish to enhance my application to Phoenix Propulsion Labs by posting some images of some 3rd party software that I am working on for Eve to help my mates get a leg up on the competition.

My first boring one that was more about playing with the market logs just computes some stats on the orders and gives a histogram of the data in text.

My real baby is a take off of the Map Browser in Eve to visualize important data in Eve that isn't available from the in-game map. So what you see with the below form on the left is a tree of all the items that have been exported from Eve's market and is within a directory of interest. Only regions are displayed that have data for the chosen item(black part of form). The numbers for now are just an economic score I've developed for each region. Although the plan is to display any number of statistics, the power should come from a weighting function to compute an economic score for which a user can dynamically change the weights based on their preference.
