  1. Mornin` all. Raining here It`s windy so fckn rain drops sideways. It`s going to stay that way at least until the Saturday. Sucks. Anybody from that side of the world knows some juju for good weather? Oh and... I teach college kids. 18-20 years. But, last year my school was in Government program for educating high school teachers in comp science. Standard groups consisted of 40-50 year old people, usually with no previous knowledge of English language or computers. After two days they were working in Excel just fine. dudeist skydiver #42
  2. Hey, it`s a shame you`re living so far away. I have found some great ways of teaching "your kind of people" comp skills . Really. Today is start of a new semester. I had 30 kids since 9am and they finished their tasks very fast. I hope it`s going to continue that way... No jumps for me last weekend. I went on a "Big fat Greek wedding" on Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning i got to the DZ, geared up, and then the weather rolled in. Sh*t. Still, maybe it`s going to get better in 5 days... dudeist skydiver #42
  3. Do you realize who you addressed that to?????? Unfortunately I do. But since Bry stated Excel sucks and the Access is next app... God help us. Oh, and morning! to you. No jumping for me this weekend. It`s fckn saturday 9am and I`m stuck with my students. Last exams this year for them and I`m not in a good mood And weather says sunny and 30 degrees celsius for today (that`s 86 farenheit for Yanks). dudeist skydiver #42
  4. Yeah. You will be thinking Excel is the best once you start with Access. Any previous knowledge on relational databases? dudeist skydiver #42
  5. ...it`s still better than Access... dudeist skydiver #42
  6. Thanks for the concern. Still, though I`m sorry for him we are not good friends, just DZ buddies. He was jumping like mad in the last couple of months, piling up jumps. I always thought he has rich daddy. They got him with that shitload of money when they busted into some dealers apartment (which they were after in the first place). 26 years old and I don`t think he is getting away lightly... Drugs are bad, m`kay... dudeist skydiver #42
  7. Mornin` all. News for today is that one of my jump buddies is arrested. They got him with 12000 Euros when he tried to buy some narcotics. Lately he was jumping like crazy and he ordered a new container with all extra options for 3000$+. I was wondering where is he getting the money. Talk about "Point Break"... dudeist skydiver #42
  8. Sometimes when I try to exit the room too fast, I pull the knob to open the door, but because I`m in a hurry I simultaneously try to go through the door. I end up hitting myself in the forehead. If you can imagine it, for anyone that is looking It appears like I was deliberately trying to slam my head with the damn thing. dudeist skydiver #42
  9. Good luck. I got away with just draining. Quick and relatively painful. ...and morning to you all. dudeist skydiver #42
  10. Hm, the real scene was last year when skydiver boyfriend brought his non-skydiving girlfriend to do tandem, but didn`t tell her what she is about to do. Afterwards he told her, she played along thinking it was all a big joke. We thought she said OK and she`s going for it. We thought... until we opened the door. Then, all hell broke loose well, it`s time for another coffee... dudeist skydiver #42
  11. Yes. I got back from the strut, we did a second pass, but nothing... I was surprised with the lack of symptoms of quitting. TI was speaking with her for the whole ride up (which can last in a C-182), you know, relaxing, her without stupid jokes etc. Actually, she was one of the best passengers on the ride up, smiling telling jokes... Background is that her husband bought her a tandem jump ticket. In the end he jumped on the next load. dudeist skydiver #42
  12. Well if you were living closer to me I could really help you. Last spring I was teqaching computer courses to ehm.. more mature students than usual. So I know what`s the best way to teach an old dog couple of new tricks. Not saying anything bad about your age... I was doing a video... There I was hanging of the Cessna strut, 10k feet... when she started to yell "NO"... At first i thought she is freaking out "the usual way" as some students do. I was wrong dudeist skydiver #42
  13. Mornin` all Bry, I could "help" you with those comp sci exams if you want. Weekend was a bit different for me. Yesterday I had a second "i-changed-my-mind-I-don`t-want-to-jump" tandem in my short vidiot career. dudeist skydiver #42
  14. I saw many people in Kolomna jump these suits. dudeist skydiver #42
  15. Weather is sh*t here today, and will be tomorrow. They have a fuel problem on two closest DZs... So maybe not a good perspective for me... dudeist skydiver #42
  16. why just not bolt it together? you can unbolt it later if you don`t like it... dudeist skydiver #42
  17. at home? oh, mornin` dudeist skydiver #42
  18. fear factory - replica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZtj-wN404A I just figured it`s almost 15 years old... dudeist skydiver #42
  19. I`m their customer too. Send some pics when you put it together, will`ya? dudeist skydiver #42
  20. Mornin! [replyI'm expecting my parcel from Tonfly to arrive today.... Won't be able to jump the new setup this week end though What did you order and why not jump it this weekend? dudeist skydiver #42
  21. We did another Dudeist 2-way (pic 1). We planned to make new Dudeist record and make 3-way, but at the last moment, formation-dude #3 decided to contemplate more on things and all and work on his Indian Seat... The moment when I regretted I don`t have a shotgun. Also see pic 2 and pic 3. Still, later I figured it was very dudelike of him to do something like that. dudeist skydiver #42
  22. Does the phrase "don't show any mercy" ring any bell???? They did not give ME any chance. They did exceptionally good. It was practical part of the exam. Making animations. And the last deadline for submitting their work. Anyone on Facebook might take a look here. Oh, and I`m student too b/c continued my education, so I`m not going to be so harsh... Cosmic karma and stuff. dudeist skydiver #42
  23. good afternoon all! i had very busy day so it`s afternoon coffee for me. and now to the student trashing. got to grade some exams dudeist skydiver #42
