  1. netgear dgn2000, someone else set it up so i dont have the password, #%#@%.. ill let my coworkers deal with it tomorrow. what ms speeds should i be looking for on the DNS ? it seemed to vary from 10 to 50ms. dont let life pass you by
  2. i think this doesnt work because then the connector for the camera is sticking out on the opposite side. why cant every thing talk wirelessly dammit !!!! dont let life pass you by
  3. yes, the connectivity. it drops several times per hour. can be for a minute or 30 minutes. can be for an hour or more. then it can be good for a day. it is unreliable and sucky. dont let life pass you by
  4. ok,, 8.8.8.8 was time=22ms ttl:56 208.67.222.222 time=10ms ttl=56 and would jump to 80 every 20 lines 128.107.241.185 time=20ms ttl 118 jump to 50ish every 20 lines 64.102.255.44 time = 176 and timed out alot dont let life pass you by
  5. i have a dual modem/router on a DSL line. my connection is dropping constanly. both ISP and dsl compies have run tests and say it is the others problem. i have done some ping tests. one is on 4.2.2.2 and it runs at bytes=32, time=42ms ttl=75 one is on 192.168.0.1 and it runs at bytes=32 time=1ms ttl=64 the 4.2.2.2 is the one showing the request timed out. the ISP has come and tested the line any help would be appreciated. i dont have another dsl unit to try. im sick of being on hold for hours. thanks dont let life pass you by
  6. if u want to stick to the hype eye with this set up, i might resort to putting a little metal deflector under your stroboframe that sticks out just a little past the hype eye to deflect a riser away from the connector. its is a 5 dollar solution rather than changing to the cx. dont let life pass you by
  7. maybe i misread what FF meant. Seems like the OP was talking about making simple videos and he wants to step up from movie maker. dont let life pass you by
  8. and you dont have to buy the pro version. the platnum version is around 100 ish. dont let life pass you by
  9. there are so many amazing women out there, that dont have the concerns you have with your fiancee. Listen to the things in your head telling you this is wrong. No matter what you think you have invested. Walk away. No talks or communication is going to change her jealousy or distrust of your ability to love her child. Assume that nothing will change, are u willing to live in the current situation for the rest of your life ? If you decide to stay with her, assume that nothing will change for the better. dont let life pass you by
  10. base proximity wingsuit= attempted suicide+crack+orgasm, all at the same time. if u need more than that, try marriage. dont let life pass you by
  11. http://pablo.smugmug.com/Sports/Rocket-Tandem-Jump/6758777_JU9Ud#595225460_yMPR6-A-LB here is one i took. This was a classified launch so we didnt get word until we were in the air. I happened to be with the 2nd tandem so i couldnt get the shot with the rocket lower. and the tandem student, an actor for a tv thing, jack knifed on exit and made the delay even worse . also, there were multiple launch pads, so we didnt know which one until we saw lift off.. grrrrrrrr dont let life pass you by
  12. I recently attended a training session that put us through hypoxia while doing mental tests. The website is: http://www.factstraining.com/hypoxia-ROBD-news.shtml For me, the first sign, was the feeling that i was not feeling quite right mentally. It sounds weird but it is a specific feeling. I think most airline personnel have to attend this type of training, so check major airports if you really want to find a chamber or machine to test it. thank for the original post, good stuff to know and be aware of !! dont let life pass you by
  13. +1 for suggesting immediate ep's way, way earlier in this situation !!! I would even go further and say before you decide to jump a suit like this be mentally prepared to ball up in SECONDS after losing control of a suit of this size. Ball up now, ball the f@%@#% up, make a tiny tight #$^# cannon ball. TRY lick your balls. what ever it takes for you to realize that death (mid air blackout and praying for a cypress save) is imminent if you try to arch for 10-20 seconds and fight a spin like this. Anyone learning to fly a wingsuit or going up in wingsuit size should watch this video and the red-eye spinner posted earlier in the year. thanks for posting the video scotty, and hope it is a life saver to someone. dont let life pass you by
  14. there is a photography and video section further down the general forum. Before you post in that forum, search, search, search, read more, search, then maybe ask.... adding a stills camera is way more than adding video in every aspect. take it seriously ! rebel xt, xti, xs, xsi all are great. canon's compatibility to the remote switches and durability make it optimum for skydiving. good luck dont let life pass you by
  15. ironic to have that clip on the USPA website at a non USPA dropzone. dont let life pass you by
  16. i did mine about 4 months ago. It took me 2 months and 50 hours to complete. I was going about 4 times per week. It cost me about 9k in socal which i suspect is the most expensive in the US. I would definately do a computer based course and do as much computer work before u start training. I would get the Oral exam guide when you start. Start studying that as you train so you can be ready when you get near 40 hours so you dont waste money. i didnt do that and i wish i did and i will for my instrument rating. having said that i love having the license and i fly alot for fun. do it !! dont let life pass you by
  17. it will just feel lighter, and you wont notice very much. dont let life pass you by
  18. im buying a phant2z and i will be selling a yellow regular phant 2 shortly. if your interested , let me know. im 5`11 , 155 and she flies well. dont let life pass you by
  19. one thing to keep in mind is the remote for the still camera. u dont want that port hanging over the side where a riser strike would rip it off even if you use a 90 degree connector. i found it a little tough to mount the hc5 and 350 on a ftp and the sweet spot where the video wouldnt block the still was tiny with out messing up the connection locations.. pay attention to this closely before you start drilling. But like JP, i prefer both to be mounted up top. dont let life pass you by
  20. Diablopilot spilled whine on my canopy and it wasnt flying right !!! dont let life pass you by
  21. 500 jumps X $20 a jump - 10k gear mentioned above about - 5k 3 weeks of low pressure system and clouds= no work health and dental - advil and plyers (meaning none) livable income - RV and ramen noodles going to have to live in cali or az to find a full time dz, chance of catching crabs, gout and scurvy at the dz fairly high. still interested ? dont let life pass you by
  22. yes,, ebay !! then buy a solid state camera ( cx 100, 110 etc) or a dv tape based camera. dont let life pass you by
  23. Did they let you keep the outfits !!!! nice one ladies and gents dont let life pass you by
  24. take a look at the thread " please take a look need advise" there is a nugget in there from a poster who bought a non proven skydiving camera against the forum advice and it was a big pain in the arse and he regretted it. fill out your profile also please and no i know nothing of the pentax k-x. good luck if you buy it and please post your experience if you do. dont let life pass you by
  25. I happened to be in the balloon during the taping. I am alive but not a legend :). It would be much closer to a legend if i knew skymama i am sure. dont let life pass you by
