Hello everyone and welcome to our first ever Developer Spotlight! What is a Developer Spotlight? Well, there are hundreds of people working on EVE Online, but for most players, the developers are avatars on a forum or maybe people you see for a few minutes on a stream or at a player gathering. But everyone here is, believe it or not, a person behind the dev name! And some of us even have lives outside of EVE Online.
So what are us developers like? What exactly do we do when we're in the office and out of it? How did we get on this crazy train that is CCP Games? That's what we're going to explore in these Developer Spotlights, which will come out every other week on Thursday afternoon.
For our first Developer Spotlight, we're taking a look at a player favorite, CCP Punkturis! Read about her here, feel free to ask questions in this thread, and let me know who else you might want to learn more about! EVE Online/DUST 514 Community Representative GÇ+ EVE Illuminati GÇ+ Fiction Adept

So, the pictures. Where are they? We need pictures to believe.
The ship in question is in fact too pink to be caught in image form. All that have tried have met an "Ark of the Covenant"-style face-melting. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

Are you telling me that the Eve community actually respects real talent and the sex of the Developer/Community Manager isn't important?
Talent is talent and Punkturis has it.
I've had some sexist remarks but because the EVE community is awesome they tell people who do such things how to behave Gÿà EVE User Interface Programmer Gÿà GÖÑ Team Super Friends GÖÑ @CCP_Punkturis |

@Punkturis, going from finance and ending up in a virtual world where a lot of players see their time as a huge investment (and part financially) was there changes/features you made to the game that made you think extra about implementing due to the possible outcome?
And, future spotlights do Karkur, Explorer, Guard, PrismX and many more!

The shortest day in the winter is 4 hours, the longest in summer is 21 hours (Reykjav+¡k, on the southern coast; the day up north is 24 hours). 24h daylight sure. But isn't it a fact that it's only a small tiny island off the north coast of mainland Iceland that actually has midnight sun? >:) Depends on what you mean by midnight sun. The sun sets at 00:04 in mid-June in Reykjav+¡k, rises again at 02:55 (the night is just short of 3 hours, and not very dark). In Akureyri up north it's sunset at 00:59 and sunrise at 01:29 (the night is 30 minutes, not dark at all). Midnight sun in both cases but not 24h day. For a 24 hour day you need to go to a small island called Gr+¡msey, north of Akureyri, but the Arctic Circle passes through that island.
