DbyD's Summer O Fun Update

Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:00 pm



I just logged my 194th flight. That combined with bunny hill flights brings my total up to 236 flights, just 14 more for the advanced requirement (250). I have also passed the written exam (on the first try) and did my 3 spot landings. All I need is those 14 flights and I get to brag to my friends that I am Advanced!

I am also have a personal record going for consecutive days flown. Right now it sits at 14 days. I have only missed flying on 2 days this month and my Sport 2 already has over 53 hours on it!

I also wanted to mention that I have re-done my personal web site. . Its nothing fancy, just simple links to what I have. There is also an iPhone version, which will automatically be displayed when you navigate to the site on an iPhone or iPod Touch:



The coolest think about the iPhone version is that I was able to get all my videos up and in a format the the iPhone/iPod Touch can read. They should stream fine over wifi and if you have the new 3G iPhone (and have 3G coverage) they will stream over the cell network too. Its a bit slow over 3G right now, but the videos are definitely watchable. I might be able to compress the videos a bit which will make it easier/faster to stream... Will have to play with it.



That's all for now folks.

I figured I would get that kind of response to the 14 (er 15 now) days strait comment. Mr. Green

iPhone version that can be viewed in a regular browser: http://www.designbydave.net/index-iphone.html Re size your browser window so the logo at the top of the page just fits. That's how it will look on an iPhone
