  1. Yes I have and it doesn't seem to matter. It flickers until the screen is black at low exposures or washed out at high exposures.
  2. My PC109 flickers dim to bright constantly in both record and playback. Here's an example video, it gets bad after 15 seconds: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3868863 I'm guessing the aperture isn't controlling the exposure properly. Is there anyway to correct this other than costly camera company repairs? Any help is appreciated!
  3. Whenever you're in Little Rock, skydivers are always welcome. it would probably be wise for you to not have such a broad statement. I spent 20+ years in central arkanas, many MANY nights in LR, and damn if i didnt need a place to crash once in a while! Im assuming the school you speak of is UAMS? Glad youre happy, but DAYUM it would take a substantial amount of $$ to get me to move back there! Yep, it's in Hillcrest near UAMS and I am getting a substantial amount of money to move here.

  5. Not until after I take out the leopard print wallpaper! Eventually she'll come back here, at least that's the plan. Everything but her rig has been here in Little Rock since we moved here.
  6. Next Tuesday I close on my first house. It was built sometime between 1880-1906, depending on which papers you look at. It's in great shape and I'll be moving in a few weeks. It's in a nice old subdivision in Little Rock, AR near a medical school and some parks. My crappy college student furniture is going to look bad in a house like this. The pictures don't even do it justice...
  7. Let's see what you can do with dreadlocks! Here's me and my girlfriend, use which ever pictures work better for you.
  8. My tops: 1. PBF 2. Wigu 3. Bunny (http://www.frozenreality.co.uk/comic/bunny/)
  9. Beer advocate has released a top 100 beers list: http://beeradvocate.com/top_beers.php and here are the beers we drink: http://beeradvocate.com/top_beers.php?id=worst I can't believe Natty light is considered better than Coors light! And why isn't PBR on the worst list!?
  10. I go to UT and I can tell you that neither UF or UT are premier programs, at least not this year! Maybe if we had a quarterback that could do something other than handoffs...
  11. I'm graduating this December and have signed up for interviews with almost every company that hires engineers. Since then I've realized that I don't want to work in most of the locations and don't want to work in most of the positions I'm interviewing for. Now that I have a job offer that I do like I've come up with a few ways of having fun during the interviews, which I haven't done yet (I know, I'm a chicken). DRESS Black suit, black tie, black sunglasses. COLOGNE/PERFUME Liberally apply Jack Daniels to your neck and chest. For optimal effect gargle and swallow 1-14 shots. ANSWERING QUESTIONS We all get tired of behavior based questions like, "Give an example of how you recently used your leadership skills to stop an evil dictator from world domination." So all you need to do is come up with a few questions you think they will ask like "Tell me about yourself" and preplan at LEAST a 20 minute response. After question two you're sure not to get the job. ASKING QUESTIONS When the tables are turned and you are expected to ask the representative questions about their organization, give them a taste of their own medicine. Ask each of your questions in the form of behavioral questions. As in, "Tell me about a time when your company's training program helped a hew hire complete their goals." And watch them squirm. Now you are prepared for interviewing failure, go out and have fun.
  12. Ms. Jean at Gold Coast Skydivers! Best french toast in the world!
  13. This is using the interval record function on my PC109. Nothing special, just my mom's backyard to see what it looks like time lapse. It's from from 5pm to 8pm, about 6 minutes per second. I used the shortest record and interval times and then sped up the video to attempt to hide the jerkiness. http://www.bitterstrength.org/~dmain/lj/02172005.wmv Sorry if the download is slow.
  14. I'd like to hear some experiences too.
  15. #1 is just wrong, very very wrong!
  16. I haven't been able to login to hotmail for 2 days now. Am I the only one?
  17. I clicked to whine about how incomplete your movie list was going to be... ...and because I secretly liked Cutaway.
  18. Tammy and her family are doing much better. I'm pretty sure everyone is accounted for. They are staying in hotels and with friends in the Houston area. She left the shelters yesterday.
  19. You're absolutely right, IF he doesn't have any problems in AFF. Most people however have issues that need to be worked out; body position, altitude awareness, etc. If you end up being the perfect student then you probably don't want to spend money on the video. But if your jump doesn't go too smoothly then a video can show exactly why. You should at least be thinking about getting level 2 on video if you aren't comfortable with the results of level 1. It may save you from redoing jumps.
  20. Tammy and some of her family members are being bussed to Deridder, LA right now to a new shelter w/ electricity, water, and all those new fangled contraptions. Unfortunately many of their family members haven't been found yet, or at least she hasn't heard from them.
  21. I don't really know the answer but here is my logic. Lightning takes the path of least resistance. Obviously it strikes the metal skin of a plane instead of passing through the air around it because it is more conductive. So what about people? It seems to me that if lightning regularly chooses to travel from the top of trees into the ground and often strikes people on the ground that they would also be less resistive in the air. Who wants to try? NOT IT!
