If the BH box doesn't fit nicely, just PM Cookie - he can tell you what cameras his boxes will fit!

I just wanted to reemphasise this. I went from a ragged-out F111 canopy to a new Spectre and there was light-years of difference in the canopy's performance. I'd bet you'll see the same.

Appleton's Special. Delicious.

Happy Birthday Herr Fish! Wämmer eis go ziie?

That's where Java comes in handy - it forces you to catch or declare the exception, so you have to decide how to handle it. try { Reserve reserve = me.getGear().getReserve(); if (reserve.isOutOfDate()) reserve.pencilPack(); } catch (PencilPackCaughtByRiggerException e) { e.getRigger().put(new WhiskyBottle()); }

While it is an over-generalisation, there does seem to be problems related to skydiving in the UK. I have two friends that refuse to jump in the UK (even though they live there) because of the attitudes they encounter. There's also a steady trickle of folk complaining on dz.com (cf. this Hinton thread). This, to me, indicates something's wrong. For the record, I lived in London for four years, but have never skydived in the UK.

It's a breach of trust. Pure and simple. Personally, it's not something I'd stand for.

What language is that in? Looks like it wants to be Java, but the object and function declarations make no sense... Additionally, it won't compile - fuck() takes human as a parameter, but the pussy property is only part of the female class. Oh, and I think you meant 'seconds' where you've got 'minutes' .

'Coz they put up with you spending all your time at the DZ?

Prior to that she's jumped at Picton for 2 weeks solid, paying for coach jumps with Drew Lipinksi all the time. Good for her - if you've got the cash, why not use it!

Me too? I might be 3000 miles from Squeak, but I'm still not in the USA...

Sod off . I buy enough beer as it is - and I spent most of Saturday & Sunday nights working behind the bar!

That's because there's no reencoding. All you're doing is taking the data-stream from the camera (via the firewire port) and putting it into an .avi file. The video obtained from any capture program should be identical. Barring bugs, of course . Windows Movie Maker will work just fine, as will winDV, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc.

And beer. Don't forget the beer. I drink Cold .

I've just checked with www.spamcop.net and 69.28.204.80 is not currently blocked. Try resending?

Brian Germain's Canopy Course Schedule
bob.dino replied to BrianSGermain's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I'll have a chat to Fiona, but the last numbers I saw were 20 confirmed, plus about six lurkers. You're becoming damn popular here - so popular in fact, that I've not seen my copy of The Parachute & Its Pilot for six months . -
Brian Germain's Canopy Course Schedule

For any Aussies looking in, all the spots at the Picton course are taken. See y'all there. -
Nothing... but the constant yee-haw jingoism does get a bit tiring after a while. I won't say more or I'll end up having the thread moved to Speaker's Corner . edit: Sorry docjohn for hijacking your thread. Your archive is pretty damn cool.

An old, discredited method for determining exit separation. Search in the serious forums; there's far too much info on it there...

How much does a BASE rig weigh? Oh, and if the rappel is right at the start of the course, it'd be a no-brainer

There, I fixed it for ya! [Laugh] Now it's fixed

A week or so ago, I wasn't ranting along with everyone else about the price of gas. That's because I don't drive a 4l truck that get 10mpg. The End.

There's some comparative data on the Spectre vs. Sabre2 in the PD document on the Spectre's Flight Characteristics.

If, by 'gaitor', you mean neckwarmer, then yup, I'm in full agreement.
