just learned of gcobol which sounds early but promising and COBOL-IT.

Linux Foundation gets political
Damn! Why does politics have to be involved in everything? I use Linux as a tool not as a guideline to moral issues. Today they chose to release a statement on discrimination. Just more virtue signaling about how good they (the left) are. It’s signed by 3 people. Did they take a vote? does everyone …
Assembler…I hardly know ye
I’ve forgot so much. Looking through some old Assembler source I saved from BankAtlantic, and I found a few where I was using CICS macros. For example, UGETFILE and UPUTFILE PC file transfer programs. I found this description on the Internet “Provides file transfers to and from temporary storage and transient data queues. Can be …
Pi-hole…again!
Setup raspberry pi as Pi-hole…again. What better day than Pi day, 3/14?
Where did road traffic go?
I use to see road traffic. Was very cool to see…especially at night. Traffic coming towards you have white headlights, going away red tail lights. I actually made a flight plan just to fly over I-95 just to see it. This is very easy to do using Little Navmap. Then it just disappeared (the traffic …
Added another new short flight plan
KSNA [John Wayne] (RW 02L) to KLGB [Long Beach] (RW 30)
VFR vs IFR and video resolution
I have what most people using flight sims would call a very under powered video card, a Nvidea Geforce GT 730 2GB. A fairly old card by today’s standards. At least that’s my impression considering what I’ve read/watched. However it’s been more than adequate for the vast majority of what I do. I’m not a …
Added new short flight plan
I should add these are short fun flight plans to practice with. You’re not likely to land at an AFB Airport. KLAS [Harry Reid International Airport] to KLSV [Nellis AFB Airport]. This one is fun because if you turn early after takeoff you’re likely to head towards tall buildings such as Mandalay Bay.
X-Plane-11 – KBUR to KLAX success!
Failure yesterday…success today! KBUR [Bob Hope Airport Burbank] > KLAX (RW 24L) short flight plan with ILS landing. Just meant to fly again looking for reason for failure yesterday…but success. However after approach turn at BOUBY to SUTIE I appeared way left of magenta line, heading to runway. Didn’t seem enough time to meet it. …
X-Plane 11 – Flight plans and ILS approaches
My beloved mother died a year ago today. So I need a distraction. I’ve been looking for short trips to practice flying a flight plan with ILS approach. Don’t want to fly 100 miles just to see if I’m successful or not. Googled and didn’t find much help. So I thought I’ll figure it out …
