I love love love posts talking about using our skills to make our entertainment ours. Kudos for sharing and much love for sharing how you are making EVE just a little more fun.
Thanks for the kind words. One of the things I have always loved about EVE is how open it is (relative to other MMOs) with information like this as well as providing APIs [1] and game data dumps [2]. The data isn't always perfect, and the APIs don't always cover everything the playerbase wants, but I'm just happy any of it exists in the first place! I used the data dump in conjunction with this log parsing to get an automatic "distance from my current location" of enemy players. It isn't anything too special—other developers have made much better tools—but it has been a very fun project.
