Warp Drive Active #119: She Can Smell Fear

New comic, for those who need reminding that Mother’s Day is coming soon.

For some dumb reason, my copy of EVE is crashing repeatedly. Every time I start it I can login, pick my character, and when it’s busy loading the station data it craters. Deleting the cache seems to help, sometimes. But sometimes it doesn’t. This just started yesterday for some weird reason, maybe I should bugrep the issue…

Also for those of you who link to WDA with thumbnailed images, I’m now creating a thumbnail for when the new comics come up. You can use the image from the location https://winterblink.com/wda/strips/latest_th.jpg and it looks something like this:

EVE Fanfest 2007 announced!

Here’s a link to the announcement post on the EVE forums.

For those who haven’t made it to one of these, they’re absolutely incredible. They gave some great advance notice this year, so plan ahead with vacation and cash. It’s well worth the effort, Iceland’s a beautiful country, and it’s amazing visiting with a ton of people who share the same passion for EVE.

My gallery’s still online, so hit this link and take a look at what you missed last year.

S:AaB. No, not the car company.

So lately I dug out my box set of Space: Above and Beyond, the phenomenal sci-fi drama from the mid-90’s. I occasionally do this, and am consistently amazed at just how awesome the show is. Pity it’s only one season long.

For those who missed the series, you seriously missed out one of the coolest sci-fi shows to hit the airwaves. Nothing beats the new Battlestar Galactica mind you, but this one is a kind of a mix between Wing Commander, Galactica, and maybe some Starship Troopers. The show even had running plots throughout the series, all centered around the experiences of each member of the 58th Squadron, and their efforts to end the war with the Chigs. It’s a true pity the show only lasted a year, second to Millennium this is the best thing to come out of the X-Files production duo Glen Morgan and James Wong.

If you can find the DVD set (and that can be a big if nowadays) I highly recommend picking it up.
