the corner office

A nice Easter weekend. We spent a lot of it visiting and eating. That was fun. We drove around the local countryside a bit, and that was fun. My poor beleaguered missus got roped into helping me catalogue our books before the freshly re-packed boxes get sealed. I heave, number and rifle through boxes and reminisce, she types. Ronwen might not agree, but it's a great trip down memory lane going through your books and remembering who and where they're from, when you read them, and so on. We're only a fifth of the way through the boxes, so I may change my mind towards the end, but for now, it's been fun.

I also spent a lot of it playing computer games. That was also fun. As I mentioned, I've had a renewed interest in Eve Online. I dusted off my old Eve market analysis app this weekend, thinking that I'd spend some time extending it. It's just too much like spaghetti, and designing it as a fancy web app is just a pain. Is this perhaps a candidate to play around with an Eclipse RCP app? Even if it isn't, I think it would be an interesting exercise to whip up a little someting and get a measure of how different it is.
