BAH!

Just got home from the Blackhawks - Coyotes hockey game. Pissed as hell. Now even more so because the drivers for my graphics card are borked! They keep malfunctioning. The card is fine, BIOS says everything is running cool, my fans are spinning fast and fine, everything is fine physically. On the software level, something isn't working right. I'll post again later when I figure it out.

Hiatus

Wow, I've been gone a while, and it seems that I've finally made the blogroll! Well then, I guess that it's only fair that I treat my new readers to a post, no not this one, I've got one scheduled for tomorrow, seeing as I just got home from vacation. For now, I'm out.

Weekends and Spring Break

I know, I haven't been keeping up with this, but on the bright side, I'm now officially on spring break, which means I'll even more time to play EVE!

On another note, we're having another one of our corporate mining ops today, so that's something to look forward to. Hopefully, my parents won't get in the way of asteroid snack time today.

Just an update on the corp: We're still recruiting! Mail or convo me and you could probably join up!

Alrighty, that's it for my short post, more to come tonight after the op and what not.

Corp Recruiting

Okay, so Osirus Outerreach (my CEO) and I were talking the other day during one of our usually quiet mining ops and I finally realized: "Wow, it's really quiet here." And off of that, we started off with the idea of trying to recruit new members. Seeing that Osirus was busy running 3 clients, it was up to me to start recruiting in the only way I could while remaining in the belt: spamming in the infamous Recruitment channel. Surprisingly enough, we had a prospect come into our public channel right off the bat. It didn't take much to convince him to join: he had just returned from a one-year hiatus and his corp was pretty much dead.

To say the least, corporation recruiting sucks. We've got cans out all around Essence and Sinq Laison next to a number of gates with our advertisements, I'm still spamming the Recruitment channel, and I'm even contemplating flying out to Couster or Oursulaert and posting the recruitment message we're using in local. I can't believe I put myself out for this, but I suppose it'll all be worth it in the end, right?

If you guys have any good strategies for recruiting, feel free to post them (I really need some better ideas on this one.).

Axinex - An Introduction

Alrighty, so I've decided to start this blog with the purpose of sharing with you, my fellow capsuleers, my experiences in New Eden. To start off: I joined in November of 2008 but took a good long hiatus until October 2009. I'm mainly a miner and manufacturer, living on .5 Gallente ores and anything I can find in a gravmetric site. Occasionally, when none of my corpmates are online and I'm bored of scavenging through market data, I pull out my Myrmidon gone drone-carrier or my blaster Incursis and either go mission running or rat hunting in the systems around Villore. I usually prefer to stay out of lowsec as much as I can but it is sometimes impossible to avoid it. When I'm a manufacturer, I'm all about T1 ammunition. If you need it, I'll make it! Just EVEmail me.

Now, I'm not a solo pilot, and I haven't been for a long time. Days after the end of my hiatus, I strolled into the Recruitment channel and came across AI Trading Co. After talking with Macnabit (their recruiter) about benefits, I joined them and hung out, running mining ops every week for a month. During my time at AITC, I became friends with my corpmates and have been following them around since then. After another short break in November, I came back and followed my friends into Outerreach Innovations Enterprise [ORIE]. Since then, I've survived a wardec, the leaving of our alliance, and a failed attempt to create my own corporation, all while still coming out on top and staying alive. BTW: We're recruiting ;)

Overall, I've grown in EVE through my experiences. I'm a determined industrialist *carebear* (inb4 someone calls me a carebear.). Oh, and I forgot to mention why I even started this blog in the first place: when I got my iPod Touch, I found Capsuleer and thus CK's Blog Pack. After reading through and noting the lack of industrialists, I decided that I should at least try my hand at EVE blogging. I hope you guys enjoy reading my bits and pieces to come!
