Legstrap loosening on plane and on deployments?
theonlyski replied to wingit's topic in Gear and Rigging
Have a rigger look at the hardware, I've seen the friction adapters sewn on backwards at least a couple of times (in 3 years). Who made the rig? Yes, putting another length of webbing on the leg strap may fix it, but I'm curious as to why it's on one side and not both.

Nah, looks like they jumped and landed where they intended on landing. You could hear the people talking about the guy coming in fast and doing a little surf. But yes, over a pretty good cloud... guess the FAA will love to see that.

Safari There's been lots of people asking about a forum viewing app, but it's much easier said than done. If they find an add in for the software to do mobile viewing natively, I'd be shocked.

That was an older design, I think the new one may have better numbers. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise
theonlyski replied to stratostar's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
For what it's worth, not sure if it was already posted up thread. Their facebook page is back up http://www.facebook.com/pages/Citizens-For-Quiet-Skies/213188222077598 Latest post was Sunday, bitching about a wingsuit record attempt. ETA: Holy hell, they're bitching about hot air balloons too!!!

You're probably not going to get a whole lot of responses from this one... I get the same pay if I do a FJC, a level jump or a tandem video. Tandem-I pays less unless you pack the rig yourself.

if GoPro() = 1 then { echo "If you would like, we can place your SD card in the instructors hand mounted GoPro for a fee. However, you cannot wear your own camera!"; return cash; } /*On the other hand, I do joke that it would be funny to allow them to wear it on their head mount (elastic headband that comes with it) with a waiver signed saying they may loose it and we're not responsible. On exit, I could swipe it off their head before it gets blown off and pocket it.

Government ordered drug testing in New Zealand
theonlyski replied to Andrewwhyte's topic in Instructors
Would you want someone who was possibly impaired teaching a person life saving skills that they will encounter possibly later that day? How about someone who was possibly impaired and with a student that has now gotten away from them, on their back, spinning at 5k? There's not much time to be sluggish. I know that it is the responsibility of the student to save their life, but it is the responsibility of the instructor to make sure that student is capable of doing so. If the instructor was under the influence (and maybe even just barely) and something happened to the student that resulted in an investigation, who do you think a jury would side with?

I would think if pilots and TM's are at stake, so are riggers and packers. That leaves vidiots, AFF-Is and coaches... and I could probably argue a vaild point against the AFF-Is...

If it hurts when you do that, don't do that. Drive on. Actually, I have shoulder issues too, after about 4 months of physical therapy (twice a week), I'm getting better... but I think that tandems were a big part of it and any freefall is probably going to stress them. Talk to a physical therapist and see what they think. Could just be sore muscles, could be worse. Quit doing the riser approaches and see if it gets better (until your apt) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

I'd watch just to see them struggle. Maybe I'll even point out all the things they're doing wrong or that could kill them. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

When you get there buy a local SIM card, I've travelled all over the world with my phone, pretty much all phones are quadband now so will work in most places. If you phone is not locked to a carrier it's easy as slotting in the new SIM and off you go. If it is locked to carrier, you'll need to call them and see if they can unlock it for OS travel. Keeping in mind that the iPhone 4S will need the mini SIM card as well. It is listed by Apple to be a "world phone" though: There is an option to turn off data roaming, so you can still use wifi to update all of your internet based programs, but not using the cell carrier for it.

Question for Windows geeks concerning Adobe Acrobat
theonlyski replied to kallend's topic in The Bonfire
If you're trying to print to PDF, you could always use PDFCreator http://download.cnet.com/PDFCreator/3000-2064_4-10558866.html Just make sure to unselect the crapware that comes with it. I've had pretty good success with it and if I didn't have Adobe, would probably still be using it.

What kind of wires come from the wall to the modem? If it's a phone line, it's DSL. If it's a coax cable, it's cable. I got a Sony Bluray player that I believe does wifi, but have it plugged into the router direct for faster streaming. Shouldn't be an issue for you though. Any of the wireless routers on the market right now are going to do the job fine. You're probably using PPPoE (point to point protocol over ethernet) for the DSL so make sure the router supports it (it will most likely say PPPoE on the box). Once you get that, there is a tad of a set up required to connect it to the DSL (slightly moreso than connecting to cable internet modems). If you need any help with that, PM me and I can help you out pretty easily. The most important part is you need your DSL username and password. That's the most forgotten part and causes the longest hangups with setting up a router on the DSL. Also, you may be interested in looking at a Roku or AppleTV. They can do wireless and are very small and unobtrusive. I have a Roku and have absolutely no issues with it that I didn't expect. I use it to stream movies from my network storage server to my TV. I use my BD player for the occasional Netflix.
