My mining alt finishes Astrogeology III today, 2 hours into my workday, but I can't start training Mining Barges until I get home (8 hours later), so I had to stuff him with Electronics IV training for 8 hours instead until I can get home.
I'm pretty blessed that that's the biggest thing I hate about the game I suppose, that I can't inject skillbooks until the previous skills are trained (should just let us inject skillbooks but be unable to train them without requirements in the queue).
Maybe I should just install EVE on my work computer.. |

You can't put a skill in queue without the previous requirement being completely finished.
Mining Barges I requires Astrogeology III
Therefor I can't queue Barges right after Astrogeology, I have to have it completely finished beforehand. Meaning if I have to do anything (sleep, work, go outside) for an extended period, there's a huge gap where my skill queue has to train "fluff". |

We can make it a game, see how long before IT finds it installed! |

I actually considered just bringing a netbook into work and using Teamviewer to run EVE from here. |

You sir are a genius.
Although I'm wondering how HIPAA compliant it is for me to run EVE on a work computer dedicated to medical records.. |

Sadly our work computers are all cruddy Dells..
I'd have to bring a netbook, and that's much harder to hide from wandering doctors =/ |

When people woke up in the middle of the night just to change skill, otherwise it would just stop training.
I can understand that, but "back in my day we didn't 'x', so we shouldn't 'y'" isn't really a reason to avoid such topics ;)
Having to wake up in the middle of the night to do stuff reminds me too much of alarm clock raids on other MMO's.. I'm glad I don't do those anymore. |

Alternatively, A partner (Girlfriend/wife) sidekick to change your skills for you.
Like others have stated team viewer is a valid tactic where solely changing skills is concerned.
Depending on the Group policy of your computer/firewall settings a USB stick client could momentarily fix your problem.
Although the "most beneficial" would be to convert your IT into eve players, it likely wouldn't be to hard.
Eh that one is quite difficult.. our IT department is the polar opposite of gamers. They're Apple nerds. |

Its not necessary for a Miner alt. Especially one I need to hit the field with asap to pay off his first PLEX. (I have 51 days of play time on him, first 35 are +3 boosted from booster, and +3 implants). |

So my solution when I was starting up a new character again.
Stack and rack all the small skills time together and put a long one on the end.
That way you always have something to put in your Queue when you are sleeping or working or whatever.
Training one skill at a time till its conclusion pretty much always leaves you in a 4am wake up to change a skill at some point or another.
The sucky part is that with Mining alts, you don't really have a choice there, all the skills are long and require a previous skill to obtain =/

That's nice, but that's not how it is now and its not an excuse for how it should be for the future.
I'm just saying, it'd be very nice if we could inject skill books into the queue and they wouldn't train a single point until you have the requirements, then you could slot skills that you have the books for but not the requirements ahead of time.

What's to stop you from injecting one skillbook that takes 2000 minutes to train?
I'm not seeing the difference really.

What's to stop you from injecting one skillbook that takes 2000 minutes to train? I'm not seeing the difference really. The problem with your idea is that it would make it possible for people to inject multiple skillbooks that they can't use into their head. What this does is create a method that would allow people to transport skillbooks without having to risk the skillbooks. Basically you are asking to introduce something that would create numerous edge cases that would have to be accounted for and add unneeded and possibly game breaking complexity to the skill queue. That is why people are not getting behind your idea. As for the alarm clock skill changing, been there, done that, got the T-shirt. The skill queue is so much nicer than waking up in the middle of the night.
Wait.. you can uninject skill books?
