I’ve made two major improvements to the site over the past 24 hours.

Firstly, you are now able to get updates via e-mail (like with the old blog). You can manage your subscription on the right hand side of the page.

Secondly, the site is now mobile friendly. Feel free to read my posts on  your mobile phone.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!

I’ve converted my blog from Movable Type to WordPress.

I’ve done extensive testing to ensure that all the links and images from the old site still work. Please let me know if you discover anything that’s not working properly.

One thing that I will stop doing, is sending updates via e-mail. So apologies to those who used this feature.

For those of you who are reading this site via a RSS reader, I welcome you to visit the site and check out the new design.

So, I will be heading off on a month long vacation to the pacific next week. Specifically, Australia, New Zealand, and Samoa.

Well, the Samoan visit is still up in the air as they suffered a large earthquake and tsunami this week. I had booked a flight on a Polynesian Airlines between the islands of Savai’i and Upolu. The flight is only 20 minutes long, but would have been a great way to see the islands from the air. To top it all off, it only cost me $15CAD and would …

I did some cleaning up on the website today. Fixed some broken links, etc…

I also did some cleaning up at home and still have a crap load of old CFSs. If anyone wants a few (for training, starting a camp fire, toilet paper) please let me know! Make sure you leave an email address so that I can get your address to ship them to.

I’m still alive and well. I’ve been busy with some life events lately that have taken priority over flying and posting to this blog. I normally try to keep my personal life out of this blog, but I have made an exception here.

Things have changed quite a bit over the past three years since I started flying. I got engaged, bought a house, became a little older and wiser, the economy took a turn for the worst, I broke up with my fiance, and my house is now for sale.

The …

The blogosphere has been pretty quiet as of late. I’m planning a post on cold weather and how it affects the altimeter.

I noticed yesterday that my site search is broken (most likely from the movable type upgrade I did). I couldn’t get it fixed yesterday, so its still broken. It returns all pages regardless if your search term appears in it or not.

I’ll let you know when it’s fixed.

I’ve upgraded the site backend from MT 3.1 to MT 4.12. I’m pretty sure I’ve caught everything. However, if you notice any broken links or images, please let me know.

The commenting system has changed a bit. It now uses reCaptcha. You will have to type in two words instead of just one. As well, you can save your details so you don’t have to type in you name/email every time.

A holiday blog post will be forthcoming including my new years resolutions goals.

I’m Back in town from Boston, my flight was canceled so we ended up driving home in a rented car.

There are some changes with ATC phraseology coming in April.

All this and more, in a post tomorrow, stay tuned…

I will be out of town (in Boston) for the next week. I wasn’t able to fly this past weekend due to poor weather.

In the meantime, check out this post at Sullako’s Blog of a crazy crosswind landing attempt. Ouch!
