A Military Headset was aquired from Blochairn market. Quite a nice deal, I have to say.
I’d really like to use it for comms equipment and / or voip chat while playing “Battlefield 2″tm, for a slightly more realistic game.
Flight simulators have always given me a great deal of enjoyment. I really want to begin learning to fly the simulators again - I haven’t flown simulators since before I came to Uni.
I always wanted to build a flight Yoke for the PC, but don’t really know where to start on such a project. My joystick is in mothball at my parents house, in Girvan.
Problem: I don’t have the money to buy a flight controller or joystick.
Solution: xBox controllers have 2 analog sticks, 2 triggers, 8 buttons and a 4-way directional pad.
Oh yes, I’ve heard it’s really a U.S.B. device.
Take a photo, upload it to Flickr, add latitude and longitude and tag it geotagged: watch www.geobloggers.com…
Yesterday, I flew a microlight over central scotland. Cumbernauld airport (EGPG) to Stirling Castle, and back. The weather was excellent, though a little hazy, about 8km visibility according to glasgow airport ATIS.
Throughout the flight, we performed several exciting manouvers. We buzzed a field close to the ground, throttled the engine back and glided for a minute, and stalled to lose altitude, rapidly!
It was amazing. I want to get my private pilot’s license. Oh, and I was scanning for Wi-Fi access points throughout the flight.
There’s an excellent web page entitled Debian Administration :: Upgrading from Woody to Sarge: Part 4 - Apache2 that I wish I had seen much sooner. This website states how to add mod_rewrite to an Apache2 installation in Debian.
Now that this has been enabled, I hope that the permalink structure looks a little more pretty than some cold and non-meaningful numbers, though the old permalinks will no longer work. Pretty non-permanent perma-links, but that’s my fault for not having figured out how to enable mod_rewrite on my system sooner.
Ah well, sorry for any inconvenience!
Over and out,
Kenny
