EVE Online Dashboard Widget
Published 10 December 2007
Hi! You've stumbled upon a blog post by a guy named Ryan. I'm not that guy anymore, but I've left his posts around because cool URIs don't change and to remind me how much I've learned and grown over time.
Ryan was a well-meaning but naïve and priviledged person. His views don't necessarily represent the views of anyone.
I'm not sure whether it's for better or worse that I have been dragged into EVE Online by a friend from college. The game is beautiful, and I love to support gaming on the Mac platform. EVE has an excellent API as well. Unfortunately, the only way to track my character's status outside the game is by running EVE applications on Windows through Parallels. I'm proud to introduce version one of the EVE Online Dashboard Widget. This simple widget will help you track the expiration time of skills. In order to use it, you'll need your EVE API Key.
