Planning underway for 2003 MRA Conference

April 14, 2003

The Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) spring conference is rapidly approaching. This year's conference is being hosted by Riverside Mountain Rescue Group. Last year at this time we were busy working on the 2002 spring conference held in Estes Park, Colorado.

Spring, Wonderful Spring

April 14, 2003

Good morning from the deck. In the background you can hear the evidence of rush hour getting started. In the foreground the birds are flitting about and sharing their songs while the squirrels chatter away at one another. A little Bongo Billy's Coffee and fresh banana bread make the morning complete. The deck was the selling point of this place. It was a correct decision as I sit here, reading the news and watching the sunrise.

Google's link: has it's limits

April 14, 2003

Google has what at first brush looks to be a great feature. You can search on pages that link to your pages. However, it appears that this works ONLY if Google has indexed the pages. For example a google search on the Internet Sympathy Card comes up with several links including a page from Scripting News. This page links to http://www.brauer.org/oklahoma/. Do a search on link:www.brauer.org or link:www.brauer.org/oklahoma and Google says there are no links to them.

Why this matters? It would be a useful tool. For example there are many stale links to the Internet Sympathy Card's old home at http://www.fortnet.org/oklahoma/. With a quick search I should be able to find the list of folks I need to contact.

Avs Game

April 12, 2003

Writing from the Pepsi Center during the third period of the second game of the western conference semi-finals. Avs are up 3-1 with 4:33 left. The technology to allow this type of post from a sporting venue has been here for quite a while. The common-place provision of terminals has not. It's a step in the right direction.

I watched the game from a wonderful box seat on the center ice line. As were the other people in the box I had been given the seats as a gift. The way in which people take advantage of such things. Filling the box with unruly kids, leaving an absolute trashy mess and bringing in their unticketed friends is astonishing.
