You totally should, I'm sure there's a bunch of us here who would help you out. The new T3's are beautiful!

I'm kinda subbing on and off every month because sometimes I don't play it enough to justify the sub. If we're being realistic here (from my own experience); you could spend between £20-60 on a Steam or console game and not play it for more than a month. You could pay for a month of EVE time for less money, and if you got into a friendly corp or big alliance I can guarantee you'd play it enough to at least make that nominal sub fee worth it! From anywhere between Day 1 and Day 30, you could be part of large-scale fleet warfare in nullsec space and participate in Alliance/Corp wars, you could mine and sell ore to an alliance/corp to fuel the cogs of war or even build your own equipment to sell on the market - even go exploring. Sure the ships you'd be flying in that fleet would only be frigates, and sure you'd only be manufacturing small items and churning out small amounts of ore; but the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself can be quite addictive. *edit* I'm not subbed this month, probably won't be until at least the 20th -ish but if you do decide to sub then I'll help you out.

I already have a TS3 server running that people can use, depends what people would want to do though! I'm kinda retired from PVP for now I think I only do casual mission running when I play.

It's quite surprising really, but a lot of big corporations and alliances have schemes in place for newcomers. BRAVE (Brave Collective) is one of them, the guys and gals in that alliance are nice people - in terms of PVP, they use mass numbers to win all their fights.. when there's 100 newbros in frigates flying around tackling it becomes hell for the enemies. *edit* The Brave Dojo specifically is the largest corp that's focused on new EVE players in the BRAVE alliance, but there are smaller corporations in BRAVE who also help out new people. *edit edit* I'm only talking from experience with the members of BRAVE, I'm sure other alliances do the same thing too.

Yeah it's kinda sad how everyone labels it as a spreadsheet simulator now - considering so many other popular games have a similar system (X3, Elite, Star Citizen to name a few). But in terms of "getting into", I'd probably agree that it's not particularly easy or fun going solo for very long. What I'd suggest to people (may not be as relevant to you @Garacesh) is to try and get into one of the big corporations that offer both PVP and PVE experiences - I know people like UNITAS etc offer schemes to help newbros out. They'd supply you with loads of training for both industry and warfare, information and generally free stuff because all veterans know how difficult it is when you're first starting out.

Good taste (apart from Runescape..), I accidentally left LotrO out of my list!

I've never really seen the appeal of an IDE for web development tbh! It's so easy to set up a local web server, have a browser open on one side and a text editor on the other..

Sublime Text 3

Probably around 30 - 50, I'd expect the lower end.

Urge to buy repair bobblehead.. rising..

Yeah aside from Battle Royale it gets kinda stale REAL quick. It's probably going to sit in my library for a few more months before I go back on it.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]29418[/ATTACH] I've toned down tbh, there used to be a lot more going on!

I've got about 10 or so installed games on my PC atm and I'm pretty much equally playing all of them.. ArmA 2: OA DayZ Arma 3 Rust Insurgency CS:GO Elite: Dangerous then.. Neverwinter EVE Online

Show them the picture I posted and watch their reactions as they start seeing black/blue!

I don't like Coffee, but feel free to make me some herbal tea.

Yup!! crazy isn't it?! sometimes you have to go outside or stop looking at it for a bit, it's crazy how the brain works.

Except.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]29370[/ATTACH] I hate to be wrong so I thought I was right at first, but later on I learned that it is legitimately black and blue.

I see gold and white, however this image is old as balls and the correct answer is actually black and blue.

I'd like to know too.. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/149432-classmate-netbook.html

I think I can see a Tusken Raider in the background..

In terms of copyright law which is what OFSTED probably care about - you 'can' link directly to their image and it won't be breaking copyright, however it's frowned upon and if OFSTED felt like :censored:ing you up then they'd probably still find a way to sue you! Better safe than sorry.. Do what we do, have a link saying "OFSTED REPORT" and link that to the public report that OFSTED give you.

Also worth checking out https://github.com/zag2me/php-inventory made by a fellow EduGeek member.

We kind of use 2 things, we have a detailed spreadsheet which holds all sorts of information - devices, host names, IP addresses, licenses etc. The first page of the spreadsheet is a menu and links to the relevant other pages (Desktops on one, Software Licenses on another). We also have The Dude up on a big screen to map out the main devices. We used to use Spiceworks but recently stopped using the inventory part of it because it's the most awful thing and should be set on fire.

I'm more amazed that you've been at the same place for 16 years! dedication!

Storm is one of my favourite Minchin pieces!
