A swallow carrying a coconut? King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? King Arthur: Please! Am I right? |

Graphical NOTAMs (not just TFRs)
wrote Hey Jim, I apologize for your first experience with the site being pretty bad. Can you tell me what OS, Internet browser and version you were using? I'd like to know so I can run some tests and see what might be causing the problem. BTW, thanks for your comments about the filtering. It's a pretty hot topic apparently. Using Win 2000, most recent Internet Explorer (7.0?) and somewhere in the area of 400Mhz with 256 ram |

Using Win 2000, most recent Internet Explorer (7.0?) and somewhere in the area of 400Mhz with 256 ram My bet the problem is with your browser. The Beta IE7.0 is buggy as hell. I've got a second computer I keep clean of all non-OS software for testing of software before I drop it into the rest of the companies computers. I tested the Beta 7.0 the other day and it would barely run. |

"Peter Duniho" wrote But the previous poster isn't using IE7, since he says he's using Windows 2000. You are right. I have 6.0. Somehow I recalled it incorrectly. First mistake I have made this year. g I'll try to do better. If someone's computer has locked up as a result of trying to load these pages, then they have something wrong with their computer. Only a religious fanatic would go around claiming there was something inherently wrong with the software. At first, there was something wrong with the software, and the writer admitted it. It hardly makes me a religious fanatic. All is well, now. I just checked the site, and it is running well, even on my old machine! g -- Jim in NC |

I just checked the site, and it is running well, even on my old machine! g -- Jim in NC I'm really glad to hear its working fine on your machine Jim! There was a bug in the software for a particular NOTAM search in CA. And I'm grateful for your early feedback (and I encourage anyone to call out and similar defects). I think it's also hard to tell when a search is running, right now the website doesn't good a great job letting you know its actually doing something. So I hope to create some kind of animated graphic letting everyone know that its searching within the week. (I'm surprised that no one, not even the author, mentioned the fact that it's basically just using the Google Maps API). Hey Peter, I didn't mention it because I thought it would be a pretty boring technical detail that'd put everyone asleep :P. I think an earlier poster mentioned the Google maps in their post though. I'm pretty impressed with Google's Map API, without it or a similar off-the-shelf (and free) mapping tool I don't think I would have been able to release something like this in the amount of time I was able too. I think this kind of tool has a lot of potential for aviation in the future! In general, I'm really overwhelmed by the positive feedback I've been receiving. You guys are awesome! I know this is probably the honeymoon stage, but it's extremely satisfying knowing you've created something that people find useful! Sincerely, Pat Preflight Pro - www.notduats.com |

400 Mhz computer) wrote in message ps.com... At first, there was something wrong with the software, and the writer admitted it. It hardly makes me a religious fanatic. My comment about "religious fanatics" was not directed at the users of the NOTAM mapping software. It was the person who was so quick to jump on IE7 being the culprit in your woes (even though it was obvious that it could not possibly have been IE7). Pete |

"Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Gig 601XL Builder" wrDOTgiaconaATcox.net wrote in message ... My bet the problem is with your browser. The Beta IE7.0 is buggy as hell. Hardly. It's actually quite good, for a beta. But the previous poster isn't using IE7, since he says he's using Windows 2000. The beta is only available on XP SP2 and Vista. Whatever his problems, they are unrelated to the IE7 beta. The combined passions of every Firefox zealot isn't sufficient to change that fact. [...] I tested the Beta 7.0 the other day and it would barely run. What are you running it on? A 90 Mhz Pentium? I'm using IE7 as my sole browser, on a 550Mhz PIII. It runs *great*, including this Google Maps NOTAM tool (I'm surprised that no one, not even the author, mentioned the fact that it's basically just using the Google Maps API). And I'm so thankful to be back to just one good browser, now that IE7 has RSS support. I haven't tried the site on my 200 Mhz PPro box, but I'll bet it works just fine there too. If someone's computer has locked up as a result of trying to load these pages, then they have something wrong with their computer. Only a religious fanatic would go around claiming there was something inherently wrong with the software. Pete No my test computer is a 1.8 GHz PIII. I also had significant problems on a 3.55 GHz PIII Alienware A-51. |

Pete Go visit the Microsoft's Beta newsgroup for IE7. I'm not alone with the issues. It seems that the religious fanatic tag might be placed on someone that got that worked up over someone questioning the workings of a Beta program. |
