Notes and commentary on things present, reflections on a career in naval aviation and serendipitous items as strike me at the moment…

“Upgrades” and such

September 14th, 2008 No Comments

So - sitemeter   does us all a favor and “upgrades” the website.  Of course, we’d *love* to be able to checkout the “improvements” - but it won’t allow us to access our account. All the more aggravating as we had gone the paid path some several months earlier.  Evidently others are equally “enamored” [...]

Emcon BRAVO

Not quite a shutdown, but definitely light posting for a few.  Why?  Just check the most recent headlines (and a few still to be written).  Will endeavor to get Flightdeck Fridays up and catch up on the weekend - if not otherwise occupited…

Change – You Can Be Part Of…

July 3rd, 2008 3 Comments

At present there is a slanderous attack underway over at a certain blog (we won’t link directly to it for obvious reasons, rather, Galrahn 0has assembled a good summary and parry over here  ). We call it slanderous because it is an attack, by name, on a current CO in an operational billet was [...]

Light a Candle…or Curse the Darkness?

June 22nd, 2008 2 Comments

We opted for the candle - the new arrival on the (viewer’s) right (MacBook Pro):

We know a few others 0 who would approve 1 - and for those who might still be considering   the leap ? Come on in, the water’s great 
And for Bill Gates & Co?  Hasta la Vista, baby.

Munged (II)

June 2nd, 2008 No Comments

Well, Repair 5 reports fire is out, the space de-watered and all gear re-stowed after this weekend’s, um, issues.  You will notice (we hope) that the original theme is back, with a few fine-tuning tweaks and we appear to be OPS normal, for now…

Munged

June 1st, 2008 1 Comment

Well, sometime last evening Finagle’s Law   was operationalized and our Cutline theme got munged  .  Whether it was malicious or not remains TBD (examination of the  logs tends toward the former).  So, for now, we’ll run with WordPress’ “Classic” theme until we can figure out what went wrong.  It will mean some earlier posts [...]

PMCF

April 17th, 2008 No Comments

Well, upgraded to WP 2.5 and of course, there were…issues.  So now we’re running a post-upgrade post to check and see if everything is working - a post maintenance check flight or PMCF as it were….

We’re Back!

February 28th, 2008 3 Comments

YHS: Open a new post, Blog. 
Blog:  "Just what do you think you’re doing, Scribe? Scribe, I really think I’m entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn’t been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it’s going to be all right again. I feel much better now. [...]

“Secure from Missile Defense Quarters, Restow All Gear…”

February 22nd, 2008 5 Comments

OK, so trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy around these parts now that the rogue satellite has been dispatched.  We’re hoping the powers-that-be relent in their parsimonious attitude towards releasing video of the event, but given some of the organizations involved, doubt that will happen anytime soon.  Likewise being able to tell [...]

Ice 1, Scribe 0

February 13th, 2008 11 Comments

Seems the ice in the polling place parking lot was the real winner Tuesday night. Butcher’s bill - one busted hand & wrist (possible depot level repair - awaiting NARF Team), severely bruised elbow and shoulder.  Rotater cuff also pending NARF eval.  Oh yes, that was the writing hand too…posting may be a little light [...]
