The Book of Ryan

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but the New Year has gotten off to a rocket start. Not that there’s anything important going on at work. We’re building a lot of very cool stuff we’re building. But there’s more to me than work.

In other news, my WordPress install was blog reactions have gone positively nutty. Of course this might be a general problem with their system if technorati’s entire support network is backed up. I think I’m ready to submit Rule 35: “If you build it, they will spam”.¹

With Travian in its final throes—go WG—I’ve been dragged into another online addiction to sate me when this one ends. EVE Online is like a septuagenarian in Webernet terms, and I’m no fan of MMO games. One cool thing though is that the game as an in-game browser and decent data API. I’ve written a very quick EVE In-Game Browser Emulator that should help me and possibly others develop in-game tools.

I am increasingly fascinated by all the places you find a browser, and the very cool stuff that Web Standards are allowing these days (more on that later).

1. Dammit. I thought I was the first to think of that. Oh well, I’m close.↩
