…and yes, I will update EVE Asset Manager for the new EVE “Apocrypha” expansion. Thank you, everyone, for all your continuing interest in this project and all the e-mails I have received over the past year (!!!).

It’s a few days behind schedule, but EVE Asset Manager 1.5.0 is finally ready. In the usual way of things, what was supposed to be a minor fix release ended up being a huge amount of work that involved many changes to the code. Theoretically, this version should be more robust. It also features a couple new reports, exporting to CSV, and several other nice interface tweaks. Go! Download it!

Here’s a screenshot that should give you an idea of what EVE Asset Manager looks like. Sorry it’s taken me so long to post it, I know I hate it when there are no screenshots of software I’m considering trying. For those of you wondering when the next version is coming out, the answer is probably tomorrow. I’m about to find myself some food, then I’m going to crank out a couple more features.

I’ve posted a new version of EVE Asset Manager, version 1.4.2. This version adds two major features—saved queries and reports—and fixes several bugs, including the pesky grid performance problem. There will be another minor version soon that adds a few things that are still missing (renaming/deleting saved searches, CSV export). After that I think I will take a break and catch up on my sleep!

Please, download the new version and give it a try. I’m proud of how it’s turning out.

I’ve written a program that will fetch your assets from the EVE API and let you search them locally. This is much better than the in-game assets interface because it shows everything you own, instead of only things in your top-level hangars.

Could always use people to test it. Have a look on the EVE Asset Manager page.

I hate writing these “oh hey, it’s a blog, everyone look!” posts, but something has got to go here to fill in all the blank space, so here I am. Today, I finally got off my lazy ass and used the free domain registration that came with my DreamHost account. It’s only been sitting around for about 13 months, that’s pretty good turnaround for me. So welcome to heavyduck.com. May your stay be… interesting.

WordPress seems like a solid enough hosting platform. Now to figure out how to get Textile up in here.
