Awesome weather

Friday, March 30th, 2007

The last 7 days or so have been pretty incredible weather-wise - as if someone had stolen all the weather from scandinavia… No need to use my N800 to check weather this time
I went flying on wednesday evening at dusk, incredibly smooth air and very beautiful up there in a weather like this..

FL370 - 37000 feet in the sky.

Internet and Lufthansa free promotion offer. Sweet. Thanks everyone for a very interesting Summit. I am on my way back home, somewhere above the UK I would guess. The 770 really works fine for the copious legroom and space of *ahem* less than first class
Does anyone know a flight tracking service one could […]

Airventure and Flickr

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

EAA Airventure 2006 - the Big Annual Happening of general aviation is currently ongoing in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in the US of A. I found a Flickr group that hopefully gathers a lot of interesting photos from the event. As flying is one of my interests and passions, the stuff presented there naturally gets my attention. […]

Quick maps

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Stumbled on this pretty nice site which lets you plot stuff on a map, using the google maps API and lets you either link to the map (like this) or embed it on your own site (let’s see how this works, below - and whether planet likes it or not..)

Edit: Ok, looks like planet […]

Free Software for Designers

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

So yeah. Inkscape is pretty cool. The user interface, while still needs some work, has come a long way. It is a pretty neat, capable design tool for a variety of things. Like desktop icons, or, maybe airplane paintjobs?
This is something I did for our aviation club recently. The base photo is a […]

Category fun

Friday, October 14th, 2005

So, I think this might be my first chance to post something that goes on both category “Aviation” and “Linux”
A battery-propelled self-starting sailplane (glider) with embedded linux controlling the lithium-ion battery pack and engine system

“The advantages” (of Linux) “are obvious — we can modify or adapt anything we want. And we are […]

Flying back..

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Apparently the Boston area air traffic control radar has issues, so hopefully my flight will be on schedule.. Anyways, it was great to meet new and “old” people again in the summit, see you again soon!
Oh, and for those who are interested in the Tango project, there’s an IRC channel #tango on freenode.
Remember, Tango is […]

Blue1 simply rocks.

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

So, I have just returned from Guadec, Stuttgart last night, expect some photos and comments soon once I get a chance to wade through the pictures I took during the event and our photo shoot session with Garrett and Tor the day after the conference.
But I wanted to say this: Blue One - the SAS-owned […]

Up in the air..

Monday, October 11th, 2004

So I was a naughty boy and skipped class today.. sorry But the weather was just way too gorgeous to sit inside, thus I went out with Chris to Bedford, Hanscom field and we flew to Plymouth Municipal airport a bit south of Boston.. Oh, I borrowed Jakub’s lens. All I can say is […]
