How to parse EVE Online chat logs (in Common Lisp)
Oh, hey, I had one of these when I was afk-ratting in an Ishtar in Guristas space, those were the days: https://github.com/ben0x539/eve-log-alert
I'd drop my Ishtar[s] in an anomaly[s], then tab out and probably read hacker news or something, and completely forget about it, usually leading to either dying as I didn't check intel channels or even look for hostiles in the local system, or wasting time as I didn't warp to the next anomaly after clearing the current one. With a simple ruby script, a janky sql query and a pile of ugly heuristics, most of that stopped being a problem! It hits a "sweet spot" of being totally non-reusable but doing exactly what I need it to while remaining just editable enough to hack in more special cases/heuristics...
It wasn't a super time-efficient way to get space-rich, but at least somewhat effort-efficient, and it netted me enough that I could probably have bought a titan or three. Of course I eventually lost most of my net worth by having it invested in shitty minerals and being unsubscribed as the floor fell out under that market.
Those were the days.
