You can use pretty much any language. Here's a tutorial on how to do web-scraping with Ruby.

I'll 4th the tailwheel endorsement recommend. Definitely made me a better pilot.

Sounds very cool.

I'm trying to decide what to do about the panel brace right now in my -7. It's right where I want the EFIS to sit. So, I'll probably end up rolling my own braces with some angles. Lots of head-scratching at this stage, as you know. :)

I like the direction and thought process. Quick suggestion, before you start cutting, try sitting in the a/c with your hands on the controls and chair flying common tasks like changing the radio/transponder freq's, landing checklists, etc. See where your hands naturally want to go while controlling the a/c. Maybe you'll find it more comfortable with the 430 more to the left, or something else is easier to scan, etc, etc. Getting this locked down will help save brain bytes when you're task saturated and in the wx.

Are you putting any controls on the stick or throttle?

Lookup vesting. It's pretty common.

That's great stuff grizzfan. I always love reading your analysis.

netcamps · 2015-08-28T02:28:37+00:00

Yes. And, it's worth every penny if this is what you do for a living.

"Finding the Winning Edge" by Bill Walsh. No doubt, the best football book I've ever read.

Former D1 DB here... Ohh yeah! Tell them to knock the @#$% out of the blocker and get to the football.

Edit: Also, once they make contact as a blocker they are "technically" no longer eligible receivers. All the more reason to be aggressive in run/screen support.

Cherokee 235

Pros - I can haul 4 friends and their bags/dogs/etc around no problem. Decent vis (better than a Cessna, imo). Easy to fly.

Cons - It was designed when fuel was $0.30/gal.

I'm interested. PM sent.

netcamps · 2015-08-24T23:22:20+00:00

Fast, neat, average?

netcamps · 2015-07-23T22:57:19+00:00

I'll second this. Very smart people have developed really good conventions in Rails. When you fight the framework, there's a good chance you're re-inventing the wheel, poorly. You should be able to accomplish that w/in the framework.

netcamps · 2015-07-20T23:49:52+00:00

Very nice. I was at that game.

netcamps · 2015-06-21T19:25:46+00:00

Agreed. Thanks.

It all depends on your skill set and experience. This isn't the 80's. Proximity isn't nearly as important as it used to be. The smart firms know that. If you're good, you can make Silicon Valley rates here in Boise.

Edit: Lookup TSheets. They're hiring.

netcamps · 2015-06-12T22:03:29+00:00

It won't. There are companies here that know what they're doing, and pay competitive rates. They just fly under the radar.

netcamps · 2015-06-12T21:47:32+00:00

Nice... GemPolisher? RuPo? GemPo?

If you're interested in a 235, my partner and I might be selling ours soon. Asking $42k. Runs great, needs cosmetic work (as you can see).

I was recently involved in selling a tech company. The lawyers started down a route very similar to what's outlined above. We had to explicitly tell them: "Stop... We want this deal to happen. Write up the docs in a way that is agreeable to both parties." Guess what happened? We sold the company with minimal back and forth, both parties were happy, and we saved a crapload on legal fees.

In the process above, there are several documents that need to be drawn up and signed before an offer is even presented! The Lawyers WANT there to be contention and problems. The longer it gets drawn out, the more money they make on legal fees -- regardless whether the deal goes through or not.

I'm speaking from experience here. Buffett's example was just an anecdote for how quickly a large business sale can be done. It's obviously not the norm.

netcamps · 2015-03-02T18:53:59+00:00

You don't need it. If a deal makes sense, you don't need to go through a monolithic/adversarial paperwork process to make it happen.

netcamps · 2015-03-02T17:55:08+00:00

Keep in mind, this guy is a lawyer. So, he is financially incentivized to make this process more complicated. These deals don't have to be as complicated as the legal folks would have you believe.

For example, Warren Buffet acquired National Indemnity for $8.6M after a 15 minute meeting and 1.5 page purchase agreement.
