Apparently the presentation was too big for them to post. So, I am breaking it down, and posting it here in 6 parts.

First part,  a brief introduction of, who I am and what the presentation will cover (feel free to skip this part, it does not traslate well to web presentations)

Note: some of the content on The final slide in this section is courtesy of CCP from 2006/2007 I hosted a presentation with CCP on the technology of EVE OnLine at the GDC in 2007.
