  2. Dave: Good job on your succesful weekend, tht is a lot of beer that will be in the fridge in the comming weeks, we'll have to drink some of that together whilst discussuin the finer points of woodwind instruments. Did I say Riser burn, my bad I couldn't really tell the difference since it managed to shave a good portion of hair off as well as skin. That is the last time I swear that I am going to let myself go unstable. I was a little hard on myself this weekend because I got lucky and I know it. I didn't have one mal, when I know I should have had closer to 3. You're right though, we all have bad weekends and i'm not stopping because I did some funneling. I'll be out the weekend of the 8th as I am started to get really strapped for cash and have a trip overseas comming up and school that needs a nice big check. Maybe see you on Saturday "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte

  4. weekend is over, and in a way I am kinf of glad. 1:3:0 1 Really bad riser burn from an uncontrolled flat spin that I wasn't able to correct before open, Yet only 3 lines twists. My angel up there was busy on saturday. 3 times I tried to get my body stable at 15 second delays. Twice I ended up flipping and turning when I didn't want too and on the 3rd try I got it but did a lot of turns ( uncontrolled ). A little frustrating but i'll get it in good time. I think I'll do a PFF with and instructor to help me out on that one before I try them again. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte

  8. Ouch man, I hope you get better soon. I nkow first hand what it is like to break a bone that keeps you away from your sport. I just broke my Radius bone this past winter boarding. Did I let it ruin my Winter no, did it suck yes, but I still was able to get out and have a good time. Even after I saw the x-rays and the doctors said that I would have to have it on for 6 weeks I still played raquetball, and did track etc. I hope you heal quickly and realize that it's just a bone. You will heal and don't let it get to you, you will be back up in the air. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  9. Download a program called soudforge, it's great and will let you do pretty much anything with sound. PM me if you need any help with it. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  10. Happy B-day Buddy, I'm glad that you had a good b-day. This weekend i'll have to drink one with ya. Hope the rest of your week is just a good. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  11. According to Cisco and other top network companies, SUN microsystems, Nortell etc teach that there are 8 bits in a byte. This makes all the difference in the world when testing for DL speeds at a helpdesk position. Eg. We have 1.5 Mega Bit modems which actually down load at 150 Kilo bytes. As you can see this converstion reflects a 10: 1 ratio and that is becuase that is generally accepted as the norm but not actually the case. As far as I have been able to tell from the articles and mass amounts of networking and A+ books I have read the small b implies bit, where as the larger B reflects that of a byte. >I am a geek< "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

  12. 2 : 4 : 1 well I had 1 Blown date on Saturday night due to me being at the dropzone and missing the meeting time. On the same note I was able to meet for lunch on sunday briefly and all went well. 4 good jumps over 3 days, which was a little disappointing but I am moving up the student ladder and have been cleared for 15 second delays. 1 case owed because I jumped a 220 as opposed to the normal 280, but really just because I wanted too.

  13. You wanna just get everything in Parts. Think of getting a new computer like a chop shop. Take what you need from the old one if you don't want to keep it and start getting pieces from their. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  14. I like the system, but I would wait till the latter part of the year when intel comes out with their 800Mhz FSB. You can get a board that will scream at you when you push things across the board. Also, they are going to be compatible with existing hardware so you can get more from your investment. If you are thinking AMD, then they have a 400 FSB comming out in the later part of the year as well. Other than that, I personally would not get the 10,000 rpm WD drives, just because they are too small. 70 gigs of HD space will fill up so fast, you can get an 80 gig drive for 200 CND or a 36Gig for the same price that is a little faster. You picked a great system, but I have to ask, what are you planning on using this machine for? I can have the parts you need shipped right to your door if you want and I can get you a pretty good deal. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  15. Scoundrel More than a bit naughty - you're heading for a spot of bother at this rate - that is if you're not already inside. You don't have to be perfect, but if no one says you're a bad person, they're wrong. You are. Based on your answers, we have calculated the maximum penalty for your crimes*: Years in prison: 61 Potential fine: £7000 Plus a possibility of the death penalty! I am a scoundrel, could be worse I guess. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  16. It's gotta be spiderman. He is the most normal IMHO of superheroes and he has the right name,Peter, which is the same as mine. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  17. 1. Got into when some friends and I decided we needed to do something daring back in 2001. 2.See above 3. I love skydiving because so far it's the only sport that I have tried that makes me feel so good when I am done. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  18. It really comes down to what you are looking for in a school. If you want a good business school then you need to find a school that has a good rep and offeres services that will help you in that field. For example the Izzy Asper school of business here in Winnipeg a prety good business school will actually have you go out and meet with CEO's and present them with business plans, you also have he chance to work as an intern for appropriate positions. If you are going into the sciences or some ohter field of study then you would want something equally appropriate to get your name out into your repective field. Also, if you want althetics to be a part of your education then find a school that has a good football team or track team, you get the picture. Call before you go to get a good idea or at the very least visit the website. Hope this helps "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  19. Heya Dave Thank You for the praise, The first pull was AWSOME. I had about 5 seconds of delay and when I looked up I saw Evan and Jay exit right above me which looked really cool. Unfortunatly I had to leave for work at 315 and didn't help out in the PIE fest but well drink to it this weekend. I hear what you are saying about the nasty cross winds on approach. One my first jump, I came in to flare only to be pulled back into a slide on my side for about 10 feet. My flare is really comming along even though my landing originally stuck. See you next weekend "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  20. I find that for soccer games, just watching the game is excitement enough. If the announcer gets really into it he can draw a good crowd but for me it's all about the gameplay not the commentary. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  21. This might seem a little far in advance but, I called some places in Franfurt>sp last week to book reservations for the upcomming world cup and they alrady have places booked up. I had to call 7 different hotels just to get spot reserved for 3 weeks. Anywho, what if anything are you guys going to be doing or world Cup 2006?

  22. Did you know that 90% of all holdthebutton users ring the doorbell when approaching. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  23. I did it because this job pays for my jumps, and it pay very well. I could have gotten in on a 3rd load and it would have made me 15 minutes late for work. From now on I call work to tell them I am going to be late. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte

  25. 0 : 2 : 1 I had a good weekend, did my first freefall today from 3500. Was going to do one from 4000 but I did the responsible thing and came to work on time. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
