Update#84 : EVEn More of a Website

Less than a month since the last update! Woohoo! Anyway..

Some people may know, there's a game called EVE Online and it's a pretty neat game. Check out that website to learn more because if I try to tell you about it I'll ramble on and on and on and on because it's really really really really big.

Anyway, I can admit that some aspects of UNIVERSE were created with some inspiration from EVE Online, either direct inspiration or through several tangent thoughts... I'll stress that I'm not copying anything; they're completely different games so it wouldn't work anyway!

Am I rambling? Because that doesn't look like actual information!

I'm a big fan of EVE Online, and the developers who build that game offer an API system to allow people to make their own web sites and applications which can fetch data from within the massive EVE universe, to help them manage their in-game businesses and assets. I would like to do that too!

So, with that in mind, I'll gradually or eventually build a second part of the website which will employ EVE API and other information supplied by users, to make a nice set of data... some of it should be open for those who want to use it, but some tools will be very powerful and their use will be restricted so that only myself and my friends will be able to use them.

To serve the needs for accomodating that as well as anything else I might decide to concoct in the future, I'll be rebuilding the login function of the website. Users will have a general account login/access for the site, which would then grant access to all of those areas they might be interested in and keeping the same identity for all, which is relevant for game/forum access, and thus also prevents imposters.

I have no idea when I'll set up a forum, but I'm sure I will some day.

... Yeah I think that's all for now. Ta~!
