Big Rogues Gallery Update!

[Jay Honeck]

Check out http://alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm to see the following new
additions to the Rec.Aviation "Rogues Gallery":

- From Toledo, Ohio, Eric Bartsch and his very cool 1959 Pilatus P3...

- From Boulder, Colorado, Alan Bloom and his pristine 1960 Cessna Skylane...

- From New Brunswick, Canada, David Gamblin and his terrific 1976 Piper
Warrior...

- From Sebring, Ohio, Roy Page and his beautiful 1977 Piper Archer...

- From Corvallis, Oregon, Tom Pettit and his very cool home-built, a 2004
Savannah...

What's this "Rogues Gallery", you ask? It's an alphabetically organized
(by last name) webpage that allows aviation newsgroup denizens the
opportunity to see -- and be seen -- by fellow posters.

Why? Well, as marvelous as these newsgroups are, they are
"2-dimensional" -- meaning that we never really got to see each other.
Worse, we were never able to see what the other guy was flying -- but not
anymore! With labor provided by yours truly, and server space provided by
this group's own Jav Henderson, we have created a "virtual Main Street" for
newsgroup users to get to "meet" each other. After three years, you can see
most of the newsgroup "regulars" there now.

Want *your* pride and joy displayed, for everyone here to drool on?
Simply email me half a dozen pix of you and your bird, and a short narrative
(where you're based, how long you've been flying, how long you've been on
the newsgroups, etc.) to , and I'll get 'em up ASAP!

Is putting 'new people' into a "New Additions" section (outside of the
alphabetical listings) a possibility?

Next batch of New Additions people, a few months from now, bumps the old
'new people' in with everybody else.

Thanks again for doing it Jay! Just really nice. Makes it more of a
community.

There are many things I wish I had done differently with the Rogues Gallery
from the get-go.

One of them would have been to split the site up into more and smaller
chunks. Right now, there are only three pages, and they're getting pretty
large. Load times on a dial-up network are probably absurd. I should have
more separate pages, by the alphabet.

The other would be a "New People" section. Unfortunately, to go back and
re-do the whole thing now is going to be pretty time-consuming, and I've got
a zillion other irons in the fire...

Maybe once we've got all the suites done, and we're in the off-season, and
there's nothing broken to fix at the hotel or on the airplane, and my kids
don't have any activities scheduled, and there's no CAP meeting, and there's
no Airport Commission meeting, and there's no Big Kids Toy Show (my latest
project) meetings scheduled, and the yard doesn't need raking...

Does your host have mysql and php? I could slap a small php script to
make the site dynamic in a couple of hours if you could use it..

is OK with making it dynamic, I'm OK too.

Jay,

Thanks for adding me to the gallery, its great to be among the "owners"
list rather than the "renters" although my bank account looked a lot
better when I was renting :-)

I've never seen a bank account that looked as good as a nice airplane. :-) Bank
accounts are only worth what you can do with them.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Um, well, I don't know.

Without warning, we've just crossed some mysterious, often invisible line
between people like me, who are able to maintain and operate a website, and
people like you, who *really* understand what's going on INSIDE the
website... I suddenly feel cold, and lost, and...ignorant.

:-)

What, exactly, does it mean to "make the site dynamic"?

The leaves are no problem! Just point the tail of your plane at the yard
and do a full throttle static runup. You'll wonder where they all went.

It means to be able to have all your pics and info in a data format and
the viewing pages/viewer can be changed to view the data in different
ways w/o having to physically change or rearrange your data.

WHat I meant was have script that, based on info from
files or a database, showed the pictures and indexes.

Instead of redoing the .html page, you just make a new directory
and upload the pictures and the text. The script should pick it
up automatically...

That was you could have several ways to show the same data, for
example...

Thanks, Eduardo.

Although I understand the concept, I have no idea what it would take from my
end to make that work.

Sounds like a few hours (at least) with the books...?

Bull. You're bringing in enough to provide for the care and feeding of a wife,
two kids, a hangared Pathfinder, five cars, a Gold Wing, a house, and a hotel.
And you talk about buying a place with enough land for your own airport.

I've always thought of "rich" as meaning that, if I stopped cranking,
the world would continue to turn. Sounds like Jay is doing okay, but
if he stopped cranking, his world would come to a screeching halt
pretty quick, so I can see why that doesn't feel like "rich" to him.

In some statistical sense, everybody on this newsgroup is rich --
certainly making far above the median worldwide income, for example.

I like these ideas
Rich ...........working hard for your money.
Wealthy .....your money works hard for you.

I, for one, am indebted to these groups for all they have given to me over
the years. Top that for syrupy!

I'll bet you a gallon of avgas that you and your wife had more
after-tax income last year than Mary and I did. After expenses, last
year we made less *together* than I used to make in just three months
in our previous business.

However, there's more to life than money. And we're not done with the
place yet -- not by a long shot.

Jay, you spent more on that Pathfinder last year than my entire net income.

And that's not the issue. I don't really care waht you make. It's just that your
occasional poor mouthing is irritating.

check this:

its a small script that looks in a 'rdata' directory for directories with
pictures. each directory has a data.txt file withthe text and picture names.

all you need to do it mantain the directories.

this in an example data.txt file:

Mike is based at Deer Valley Airport (DVT) in Phoenix, AZ, and by his own words has been a long-time "lurker" -- and occasional poster -- on the aviation newsgroups. He and his son, Steve, flew into their first Oshkosh in 2003, and enjoyed the Newsgroup Party in the North 40!

I assume you are talking income from the income statement perspective.
How much did your property increase in value last year? As a sole
proprietor, you have to include you balance sheet as well. :-)
Changes in owner's equity is an important source of "income" as well.

Not in the year in which it was earned, but when you sell the capital
asset, the income is very real. :-)

Hi Eduardo,

Would you be interested in doing it slightly differently, and keeping
the text in separate files with the same name as the photo? You could
also use the photo filename as a title. That might make it easier to
maintain if you wanted to move photos to different directories etc.

I have a program that makes it easy to organise photos that way (but
haven't done anything to generate web pages from it), and I would be
happy to donate a copy to Jay if he would like to use it.

See http://www.picnam.com to get an idea of what it does.

Regards

Andrew Rowley
