I have looked around the net for a Short Wave radio logging program. So far I have not found on that I liked. So I figured that this might be a great chance for me to work on learning SQL (mySQL). So I have started the program. Right now I am defining the classes, I[…]
Well tonight there was an interesting night. At around 5:30 the weather service got on the air looking for some one to take the net. For a few minutes no one responds. So after about 5 minutes, I decide that if no one is going to do it, I might as well do it. That[…]
I have heard a lot about the XXX domains out there. I am sad to say that my fellow Christians out there are against it. I think it is a good idea, and let me explain why I am for it. But let me first say this, I would love to see the day where[…]
I was angry with myself today. I spent 2 days debugging my code because I believed that there was an error in the code, because it was not working the way I wanted it to work. I kept going though all the objects and the code, and could not figure out why what was wrong[…]
I really like listing to Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. But today I could not listen to it for some reason or another. But I have setup the software he provides for his pod cast. For the Pod cast they take out the bumper music and the commercials. So instead of 3 1 hour shows, you[…]
http://boboblogger.mu.nu/archives/112512.php is running an entry about the bad call of the SCOTUS’s bad ruling on steal land of the government from private people. That ruling was so horrible, Rush Limbaugh spent a whole show bad mouthing the ruling. Now the Government is now just punishing the people for fighting the attempt of the Government from[…]
While I was surfing around the Short wave radio bands, I keep finding that US based stations fall into 2 main categories. The first category is the nut job Radio evangelicalisms who think that they know when the rapture will be. And the second category nut job paranoid stuff. I am not saying all Short[…]
I have a friend that I promised that would get to him a picture of my radios. This picture was taken around 8pm, so you hams in Pittsburgh will know what I am listening to on the Icom (display reads 146.730MHz) This picture has my Short Wave Radio, the Police Scanner, my HT and my[…]
Since I now have my short wave radio up, I might be doing some blog entries about what I hear on the short wave radio, so I figure I will add a new section for my entries for short wave radio posts.
Some times it takes listening to a foreign broadcast to realize how good we have it in the US. There was an article on Public Radio International (rebroadcast of the BBC, show was “The World Today”) about a “free” (free as in free speech not as in free beer) radio station that works just outside[…]
I finally got the wire I needed to put together the antenna for my short wave radio. I got 100 feet of speaker wire. I divided down the middle to get 200 feet of wire. I wrap it around the apartment; I almost made a full loop around the apartment. I turned it on I[…]
I found this though another Pittsburgh blog, but a web site (birdwatchersdigest.com) has a story(warning the site does have some pictures that might be considered disturbing for young children) about how a Praying Mantis catches a Humming bird for its dinner. All I can say is WOW. That is something new. I first saw the[…]
I have been doing some thinking about groups and politics. I have been thinking about this since I started to look into the biking “community” in Pittsburgh. I have found that this so called community is very intolerant of any one that holds any political view that is not their own. I tried to ignore[…]
This was originally posted over at Powerball and being reposted (word for word, cut and past) with promision. CNN has reviewed and agreed to run a controversial ad produced by a pro-abortion group that falsely accuses Supreme Court nominee John Roberts of filing legal papers supporting a convicted clinic bomber! The news network has agreed[…]
See unspace for a very very good read, I love the second one of the 2 thought experiments. The one called “The Yesterday Experiment.” Now I wish you ask my few readers that same question but I will just quote it insteade of using my own words. If I told you that an extremely powerful[…]
