JB has been hard at work updating the instrument panel in the Jantar Std 2 VH-IUD.
I’ve come up with a plan to update the Geelong Gliding Club website, which is running on an ancient version of Joomla.
First, using the migrator1.5.zip (which is really hard to find) to update to Joomla 1.5.
Then using the J2XML import/export tool to update to Joomla 3.1.
After that it should be much easier to update to future versions.
Replacement extensions. Lots of the extensions used in the current version no longer exist at all, or no longer exist for 1.5. JoomGallery looks like a good replacement Image Gallery tool.
Getting the files into Lunar pages. this could be problematic.
Did nearly four and a half hours in the DuoDiscus with John Buchanan. JB saved me a few times, and I have a few things to learn/practice. Unfortunately we didn’t get back – outlanded at Lethbridge. Nice people there, but no come-and-get-it trophy.
Today started early with and excellent egg, bacon and tomato breakfast put on bu David Fynmore. There was a bit of a discussion about the days weather, and JB and Alf decided to head off to Raywood to claim the “Come and Get it Trophy” from the NSWGA.
surprisingly good day. I managed a quick annual check, and then a conversion flight in the Std Jantar for just over an hour. I’ve also started to upload flights to SkyLines.
One thing I didn’t achieve today was my DI certificate. The instructor was too keen to go flying. Oh well, maybe next week.
I know I haven’t done one of these in a while.
I’ve been solo on the winch a while back, but I’m still having trouble with release with a load still on.
Today’s winch launch wasn’t that bad in that respect, but it was still back released under load.
Not entirely sure what is going on.
I’ve started a new project to maintain the airspace and turnpoint data for various gliding programs.
The link to the project site is at http://git.ldjcs.com.au/projects/soaring-exchange. It isn’t much at the moment, but I should be able to work on it in the coming months.
Maintain the airspace and turnpoint data.
Create a web-based tool for data extraction.
