EVE Online Widget

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

There are finally some really good utilities coming out for EVE on the Mac.  One of them is a widget that runs on the dashboard and can even be run on the iPhone. Here is a picture of what it looks like in action, and the widget can be downloaded from the EVE Online forums.

Eve OSX Skill Monitor Widget

There also seems to be a program in the works that will emulate all the things that EVEMon does, but it will be completely Cocoa based.  The program is called Skill Monitor Cocoa.  It still needs a lot of work, but the screenshots look very promising and it is somewhat functional albeit a little buggy at times.

PMetrics Wordpress Plugin

I’ve been very impressed with the new PMetrics/Clicky for quite a while now.  I just downloaded the latest Wordpress plugin from them though and it rocks.  Not only does it prevent me from having to input the javascript code manually onto my template pages for tracking, but now it lets me see my basic stats right on the dashboard, but it makes a new tab to see more detailed stats.  Now I don’t even need to leave my site to check my stats. If you want to check it out, please follow my affiliate link to sign up at PMetrics here.

GTD apps for Mac.

I just got into the alpha for Things today.  It looks very nice, but I have already set up a bunch of stuff in OmniFocus.  I also recently downloaded Anxiety.  With the combined power of OmniFocus and Anxiety, Things will have to be pretty impressive to compete.  I know Things isn’t feature complete, but I really hope they get the iCal syncing soon so that it can work with Anxiety.  Or possibly even better if it could minimize to the tray somehow and have a small box similar to Anxiety.  The GTD app space is really heating up and the quality of apps coming out is quite amazing.

EVE for Mac

It’s about time.  Thanks to The Unofficial Apple Weblog and the new Massively.com I have heard news that I’ve been waiting months for.  EVE Online is finally being ported to the Mac.  I really hope that many Mac users will at least try the game.  Personally I think it is much better than the only other MMO for Mac, WOW.  At the same time though, the game is very very different.  You can see why I personally like it on my blog here.
