I spend way too much free time playing EVE Online, an MMORPG set 20,000+ years in the future in an alternate galaxy called New Eden.

I also spend way too much time coding up useless little things that nobody will ever care about or use except me. So I decided to write an Android application to allow me to keep track of my character using the game API. And I’m writing it as a ContentProvider, so it will be generic to any EVE API queries you could want to do. For what it’s worth, there doesn’t seem to be a library in Android yet for EVE, so I might actually be filling  a vaccum here (there’s already libraries in Python, PHP, .NET and I believe a few other platform/languages).

Tangentally, their dev blog is usaully boring and devoid of tech goodies for the geeks like myself. However, this recent post on some networking upgrades they’ve done is rather enlightening and interesting, at least to me.
