I've been slacking off with posting, I know. I just have not been spending much time active in game, many apologies.
Our sightseeing guest is still with us, enjoying the ever-changing vistas of our exits. Although I have not had a chance to speak with her personally, I hope she is not completely bored with how quiet the system has been the last few weeks.
An alt of mine has left nullsec, from a failed 'I want to experience what nullsec is like' phase. The alt in question did not want to fly the ships that were standard fleet doctrine, and could nopt make most of the scheduled ops. Therefore this alt will be joining faction warfare. I'm sure FW will be far more interesting than nullsec, and I want to thank @eclipticrift over on twitter for the encouragement.

new inventory system hurts...
Opening inventory at a pos is painful. Everything that has a cargohold is listed, guns, etc, and it's giving my client fits right now. I'm hoping they add to the filters so I can at least filter out the guns and starbase modules I don't use on a regular basis.

faction warfare
The changes to faction warfare coming with Inferno are interesting, and much needed in my opinion. I never tried faction warfare, as it seemed hazardous for little reward before. But with Susan Black and Hans posts on things....I am sorely tempted to try it out.
Other than Miilla using our system as a grand tour through all of hisec, things have been quiet in the home system. I exported quite a large amount of PI last time we were in amarr space - I did not have time to sell it but it waits there for a day when I need a quick cash injection. I finally trained up Jhared to interplanetary consolidation 5, as I've been using electrolytes faster than I can harvest so will need to setup on the other gas giant to harvest more.
There are times I've been tempted to take down the medium pos, as it's a faction pos and those are hard to find. Moving everything will, to be blunt, be a bitch. Still since I've noticed on the forums that there are people (thanks to Miilla twisting Slade's words) who have taken an interest in taking both of our towers down, that replacing it with a nonfaction tower might be a good idea.
It's been pretty much just Slade and I in the hole anyway lately, and as we don't actively recruit, I worry that we may in fact get evicted - the fact that we have not run into major resistance or been evicted already is parts good luck, and my CEO's silver tongue.
We've been here for ....what 3 years now? Seems a rather long time, I know we've gotten used to our system, decorated and planted a little garden, yet still are ever watchful. I may start moving some of the high value items that are not often used back out to hisec, just in case.
One thing that we need to decide on - we've never kicked anyone from corp for inactivity. We have corpmates who have not logged in for well over a year, some are still in the wormhole - do we move the stuff in those hangers as well? Do we start giving more rights to existing corpmates to allow everyone to live in the large pos - and do we still need both towers?
In Eve, one of the maxims to live by is 'Trust no one'. By doing so, and not recruiting we've been dwindling our numbers down, as well as activity. I feel that something needs to change, if only a little bit.

Tests on Sisi
The new missile effects on Sisi are amazing, and the look of the new stealth bombers are quite nice as well. My personal favorite is the new nemesis, with the mata ray look.
I urge everyone to do testing on Sisi to get used to the new inventory system if nothing else. Those who forgo testing the new system will likely be lost for a bit when Inferno gets dumped on Tanquility. It's quite different and easy to lose track of stuff. I'm all for the change, as Eve is never static.

news of an unwelcome visitor
Opened an corp mail from the ceo. We've had a ghost loki hanging around for a bit, and finally have gotten a visual on it. The appropriate name has been added to watchlists.
I suppose now that we've been lucky so far, and we can no longer count on keeping the statics closed without crashing them.

tidi in hisec
The Sack of Jita got off to an early start, with nearly 2300 pilots in the system blowing up things on the 4-4 undock. I took some pictures - from a safe distance of course.
At one point TiDi dropped all the way down to 10%, which made doing anything an exercise in patience, fortunately wormhole dwellers have that in spades.

clearing out some sites
So this morning attempting to login gets me the 'system is still loading' message. Wait 30 seconods, try again and I get this little gem:
We'll see if my tweet about it get any reactions, and I'm searching forums to see if others are having the same issue.
Had chance a couple days ago to do some sleeper killing with all statics closed and nothing incoming. We had 7 combat anomolies, I chose to run the 3 Perimeter Hangers, which yielded 8 nanoribbons.
Here's the little piggy vacuuming up salvage:

Edit: apparently the node was restarted for the issue, thanks to CCP Navigator for letting us know.

fuel hauling
Todays exit is a mere 10 jumps from a market hub, pulled 300mil from the corp wallett to haul blocks back to the towers - we have over a month in each of them now. With about 10k extra fuel it should tide us over till well after the Jita burning event.

minerals, minerals, minerals!
With the recent spike in mineral prices I'm going to take a hard look at restarting my first profession in Eve - mining.
Next grav site we get I'll do my level best to strip out the high end ores before it despawns entirely. With the appropriate Orca boost, we'll see how that goes.
Note to self - buy some booster fittings for the darn orca.

making the small iskies
6 nanoribbons from 2 Perimeter Hangers, not too bad. Haven't been on too much but I refilled my factory planets and scanned out the new hisec out near Khanid. Lutra is making a beeline to get back inside to scoop planet goop to sell.

post-poacher cleanup
Got a text message from Lutra wanting me to salvage the radar site after he scared a poacher off. He volleyed the drakes shields off but since he was 70k away didn't get a point on the guy. 5 nanoribbons from the salvage and Lutra cleaned up the loot.

no real news
I've been out of the loop lately, but the corp did blow up the small tower someone had planted in system.
As far as the debacle surrounding Mittens....he made his apology and seems genuinely contrite. Let him remain chairman and lead the CSM. Mittens is only human after all, and humans are generally very good at making dumb mistakes. He learned a lesson, and it should push him into being an even better chair than in CSM6.

missing the action, for once a good thing.
So apparently the system has been a hotbed of activity in the last couple days, 3 different pilots lost a ship to 3 different groups of hunters.
bestower (setup a small tower, have not seen anyone from the corp since)
badger badger + the pod (setup a medium tower, took it down after Harb asked him nicely)
shiny daredevil + the pod (ohh that was expensive)
We'll wait till the small tower runs out of fuel then take it down cause we're lazy like that.
To the rest, happy hunting!

system crashes
Comcast apparently dislikes me as I have had a string of crashes, likely due to router crap. I'll drop connection anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. I hesitate to do anything risky while this is happening, I'll have to be content doing PI for some sort of income till they get stuff fixed.

A bug fix causes sad panda
I find out today that entering a POS forcefield will now always decloak you, a very recent change. Submitted a bug report and was told it was an intentional fix, as it was a bug for the past 3+ years that I have enjoyed using.
It was nice while it lasted, I will need to make more safespots where I can idle cloaked semi-safely now.
I have had more client crashes lately as well, I've updated drivers, etc - I'm actually thinking it's caused by my ISP losing the route to the servers, as the website is down for me at the time of client crashes.
