Ripping the AODB in Item Assistant have been greatly sped up in a recent subversion commit (#310) bringing the time it takes to rip the AODB down from 2:42 to about 1:25 (on my setup). Users with SSD drives are probably not getting a big boost, but you are all spoiled anyway :P
The code change simply tell SQLite to use a memory based journal while ripping, instead of the default file based journal by running the following command on the database:
PRAGMA journal_mode=MEMORY
The program is now probably using more memory while ripping, but since most people can spare 50-100 MB I don't think it will be a problem.

ERA Visual on CNN
For the last 4+ years I have been working at Epsis AS, a technology company focused on Integrated Operations in the Oil and Gas business. For much of that time I have been working on an application that is now in use by Chevron SJV.
CNN has posted an video about the application here and the effect it has had.

New Anarchy Online Item Database
A new item database for Anarchy Online has made it to the public. Still being developed, but is is already working quite nicely.
URL: http://www.xyphos.com
It is still missing things like item interpolation, but I'm guessing its not too far off into the future before its in there as well. Until then I will have to settle for Auno's site for that piece of functionality.
AO Item Assistant has been updated with support for the new site. I haven't removed the references to AOMainframe yet, but that project looks too dead to be resurrected. :(

Certified ScrumMaster
I have just completed a 2 day training to become a Certified Scrum Master. I attended Mike Cohn's course in Oslo and it was a very interesting experience. Although we have been using Scrum in our organization for some time now, it was very educational! Mike really knows what he is talking about!
Mike Cohn's blog.
The course I attended was organized by programutvikling.no.
Update: And now I even have a nice certificate on my office wall. :)

Item Assistant - Startup Issue
Some people are experiencing problems starting version 0.9.2 (and possibly earlier version of the 0.9 branch). It shows up as a Windows error message telling you the application failed to start because the configuration is wrong. Well.. what configuration? AOIA doesn't have a configuration!!
So after a bit of googling and reading up on side-by-side assemblies, it turns out the solution is pretty simple. To run it you need the Visual Studio 9.0 CRT DLLs installed on your system. If you don't have Visual Studio you can just grab the redist package from Microsoft and install that.
Future snapshots of the application will probably have the missing DLLs bundled in the ZIP file as a "private" assembly, like in this CodeProject article about Visual Studio 2005.
