Mostly computer thought's and stuff I've done!
Trying to do something I’ve successfully done many times before and failing with the GNS 530 has been very frustrating. It’s been awhile so I assumed the problem was mine. It just didn’t make sense. So I decided to try flying with the GS1000. I never used this instrument before and yet on only my …

On my return to X-Plane, finding it very frustrating executing a basic flight plan. Especially when adding an approach. As a programmer I feel I’m relatively good at following instructions. So why do I “program” destinations into the GNS 530 and the plane ignores them? Even when I literately follow a YT video step by …
I’ve always admitted my lack of artistic ability/skill. I’ve never used Photoshop, even back in my MS-Windows days. Why should I learn something I wasn’t willing to pay for? However I do use Gimp quite a bit. Mostly for basic things such as cropping or resizing images. Every now and then I stray a little …
Heard this being discussed in a recent podcast. This is a program that I may have used, but really I’m very unfamilar with it. However since I admittedly am not artistic at all it’s not surprising. But it’s something I’d like to know better.
I don’t remember seeing this in another Basic
A very simple (10 lines), RPG school program. Probably an early assignment in the class. I don’t remember much about RPG. What I do remember is I had to take the class at another campus because it wasn’t offered at the main campus I attended. I don’t know but I assume this computer was networked …
Getting back into X-Plane 11. After mom passed almost a year ago, I briefly “played” with X-Plane, but it just didn’t seem right to be playing “games” at that point. Even though I consider X-Plane 11 a simulation and not a game, as I describe here. I know there are differing opinions on this. Anyway …
Today I found a old listing that I was looking for. Here is the 1st page… In the grand scheme of things it’s not that important. But I think it’s one of the 1st Assembler programs I wrote as a paid programmer. It read a long distance tape from Southern Bell…if I remember correctly. Because …
Almost forgot about this cool site I learned about a few years ago. It’s called Radio Garden. It shows a big earth with clickable locations. You can spin and zoom into locations like Google Earth.
Saw this mentioned in a YouTube video. Learn 55 languages. It says 100% free, forever. Wait…what…no Cobol?
