"All good things come to an end."
I'm sure all of you know that quote. That point in time has come for me. After more than eight (8) years with EVE and more than seven (7) with EVEMon, I have decided to retire my space boots.
Some of you may say "What's the reason?". Some of you may say "Good riddance. I won't miss you.". And some of you may say "Can I have your stuff?".
To the latest my answer is "NO". To the earliest my answer is "I just got tired. Basically I stopped playing EVE since I became EVEMon's Lead Dev.". To the others my answers is "I feel the same about you. Move along.".
A few of you may wonder "What will become of EVEMon?". Well, that's the reason I'm announcing my retirement, to also announce the position's opening.
EVEMon Development Team is looking for the next Lead Dev.
Requirements for the position: 1. A fairly good knowledge of .NET/C# (WinForms) 2. Familiar with git VCS. 3. Basic knwoledge of CCP's XML API.
That's it. That's all it takes.
If you believe you can become the next EVEMon Lead Dev, get in touch either via my EVEMail, until the 15th of May 2016 or via EVEMon's email (can be found on our official website). Those who are considering for applying shouldn't be intimidated from the responsibilities of the posiiton, I will be available to help out and guide the person(s) who will take over, even after I have left EVE.
My subscribtion expires on 16th of May 2016 (07:30 EVE Time) and I won't be extending it, so I won't be able to respond to you after that date via EVE Forums or EVEMail, though I will still be able to respond via EVEMon's email.
That's it people. Desmont McCallock signing off.

Never used the app and the requirements read like Klingon to me so reckon I won't be applying for the job. That said, anybody who puts in the time to keep something like that up and running for that length of time should be congratulated.

Thank you, Desmont McCallock. Now might be the first time we users ever had a chance to say that. Because when we were all newbros climbing the steep EVE learning cliff, we never thought about it. We got immersed in the EVEmon tool and joyously planned all of our Christmas presents wishlists for the next 10 years!
Anyway, appreciation and gratitude mate, o7
But, on the other hand, it is the novice usually who gets the famous ace by doing at some moment the unexpected thing.

I hope one day you come back to eve.

So it's YOU! My compliments, good sir. EVEMon will indeed be in the annals of internet history. It is a digital gaming staple. It's hard to think of a more useful, practical and can't-do-without-it software application. The one fortunate enough to fill this dev slot will at the same time take a position in this vaunted history as well.
It's certainly good to see you surface even if it was to say farewell. Thanks for all the significant assistance you've given us all over the many years. May fortune smile upon you and the road before you.
If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

One of the first things I did when I started to play Eve was to download EveMon and have found it to be an invaluable aide ever since.
Sad to see you go, but I wish you well for the future.

Wow this is sad news indeed.
Thank you very much for all the years of service. EveMon has been and still is the perfect mate for Eve-Online. I truly hope someone who understands the code will step up to the position and keep EveMon going for another 8 years.

I'm but nothing can keep a man interested forever, so I can only hope that the new dev will keep EVEMon updated. It's a very useful software, I don't imagine how I could play EVE without it.
Workarounds are not bugfixes.

I wish CCP could pick up this torch and make official 3rd party accesories that start to cover multiple devices (pc + tablet + mobile).
Besides the tools, you could add minigames to those special devices, and those minigames can be paid as "cheap extra content"..and i bet it would finance itself. |
