Well Joe, since I don’t use those services myself, I’m not the best person to write that up. I would suggest Mike Shinn or Ray LaPanse as they are the most prolific photographers and documenters of our launches.
My main point is this – we are getting close to our quota and our hosting plan will end up being more expensive or we will have to start auto-pruning the forums, something I don’t want to see happen.
And here I thought cyber space was infinite. 🙄 What I meant is that somewhere there ought to be “Sticky” post or information page for Forum Rules, including the posting of links/photos. Some Forums will accept attachments, others allow direct posting and then proper sizing or lenght of video becomes an issue. A lot of the photo sharing services out there have their own set of rules as well and not everyone is a Picasa or Flicker or Photoshare or what have you member. I thought this web page had it’s own photo logging thing – Coppermine or something, but no one seems to really use it probably because of complicated rules as well.
I’m not suggesting teaching HTML or programming – just simple guidelines on sizing content to be posted as an FYI to all users.
Well silly me – there already is a Forum FAQ which helps direct us on how and what to do regarding the use of these forums.
The web truly offers an infinite bounty Joe… the site probably could do with some simplification to make some of the articles easier to find. Hopefully Steve will provide.
Gents, I posted links to photos that are held for free at Imageshack. This shouldn’t take up space on our forum. This is how every other forum has their image linking set up.
Those really are great photos, and it reminds me of the benefit of this club, we shoot anything rocket regardless of impulse! No one else, that I know of, does that, at least not in Co. 😉
Wait until my wife gets her “actual size” Mini-Maxx Crayon rocket ready for our next event. You will fully understand how diverse NCR can actually be.
Of course, I still have to figure out how to make an adapter that will fit over the standard NCR launch rods:
“carefully threaded the 0.047″ launch rod through the launch lug and rested the motor nozzle on the igniter.”
But perhaps I have found the secret of getting wives involved in our hobby.
IT IS SO CUTE!!!
Way cool!
Way cool!
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
