Returning to Eve Special

For the record, it is my teenage son that is returning to Eve.

When signing him back up again, we were presented with the above offers:

1 Month for $9.99
1 Plex for $17.49
2 Plex for $29.99

I do not know who else it would be valid for, or what the criteria are, but thought it might be of some value to some 'extended AFK' pilots.

I have been quiet on the blog due to a mix of working on my crest market downloader, which is now satisfactory if not complete, and increased 9-5 duties spilling over to Eve time).

Australian Intenet Filter

If you are an Australian reader, read this slashdot article about the backdoor internet filter. , or this crikey article about the same.

This is implicated in blocking that most infamous of websites : http://melbournefreeuniversity.org/

From the crikey article : As Melbourne Free University discovered, it is also very difficult for businesses and organisations accidentally blocked to discover who has blocked them or why.

...

However, all are easily evaded using virtual private networks or routing software like Tor. The safest bet for all Australian internet users is to use basic, freely available software to encrypt and redirect their internet usage to avoid filters and data retention regimes.
