  2. Hi, I had the same problem on an old PC100, I tried taking it apart and decided about halfway through to retrace my steps & stop pretending that my electronics repair abilities were as good as I thought they were. I ended up ordering a skylight video recording indicator at : http://www.skydanceheadgear.com/accessor.htm I haven't received it yet, but if it does work & I get another 6 months out of the camera I'll be happy with it.

  3. Hi, This what you're looking for ? I have one on my helmet, it rotates 90 left or right or 180 straight up. Have a look at Brent Finley' stuff : http://www.brentfinley.com/store.htm Rgds KLR 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

    Hi, While we're talking about indicators, I have a cameye already & I'm happy enough with it. I got a new helmet a few weeks ago & I'm not overly keen on drilling a large hole through it for the cameye button or putting it on the inside. I had a look at the LANC specification and thought to myself 'bugger that !' My sony camcorder has a recording indicator on the front, I'm thinking of using a photodiode or phototransistor planced in front of that indicator to power a visible LED on the front of the helmet. The LANC socket has a small ambient voltage that should be enough to power the LED. Has anybody done this before ? Before somebody tells me to 'spend the money & buy a hypeye or cameye' I already have one & I'm only looking for a simple recording on/off indicator. rgds Kieran 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'
  5. Hi, not really sick as such .... coupla years ago I was in a job that I was quitting anyway and I really didn't feel like going in on a particular Monday, so I decided to call in sick. Unfortunately, having made the decision to take a day off I sounded really upbeat & chirpy on the phone to my boss. He noticed this and asked me just how sick I was ? the inevitable reply had to be 'I'm in bed with my sister' The silence on the other end of the line was priceless ...

  6. dude, go do a canopy course, how much is a broken leg worth ? I had the same problem years ago. There wasn't a part of zhills that I hadn't smacked into, that and ending up in hospital in deland. If you're having trouble landing safely you need to do a canopy control course, otherwise you're a statistic waiting for a date and a grid reference ...crutches for free. there isin't a single person on this forum that didn't have the same problem, go do the course, dump high, practise flaring above 3 grand, get to know your canopy & get instruction g'luck ! rgds klr 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

  11. Hi, gotta be when I didn't understand the menu in Bangkok & ordered some black soup / stew with entire baby octopus in it. This was served in a bowl over a candle. This meant the little beggars kept floating to the top and then sinking. Can't remember what it tasted like but I'll never ferget those chewy little tentacles .... lesson - learn the local lingo - or at least enough to read the menu 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

  13. Hi, 7 years, 8 months ..... I could have served a sentence for manslaughter in that time AND have got out early .... Still it pays the bills 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'
  14. Hey Bob, I did the course with you last year at the holiday inn, good to see ya made it back this year, sorry to hear ya bust yourself up. Couldn't make it this year, just bought a house - I'm lucky to have enuff money for food. However did have enough cash left over to buy a new gargoyle so I'll see you on the bridge in fayetteville next October .... thats if Imigration lets me back in .... swear to god, those guys have no sense of humour at all !

  15. No, but each case is different. I already stand a well high chance of inheriting a condition from my old man & when I went to visit my mom in hospital on Saturday she had been asked by her specialist to take me to one side and tell me that I stand, yet again, another high chance of inheriting the condition that she hid from our entire family for the last 29 years ! I would hate to think that my parents, knowing what they know, may have decided to not to have me. I've had a ball the last 34 years ... !! Things may get difficult in the future, but ya can't have everything easy. 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'
