I was digging through some old software CD's and never realized how far I went back with Microsoft's Flight Simulator. I also didn't realize that I saved this stuff like a hoarder. How about version 6 - the one titled "...for Windows 95"? This was in 1996 and the CD was probably used only once during the install. It was dubbed "As Real As It Gets", which MS still uses for the product.
Since then, I have upgraded through the versions to FSX, the latest release. Up until a week ago, I really never considered there to be any others competing for the flight sim market. I was satisfied.....until I ran the demo of X-Plane version 10.

Anyone who knows me understands that I'm an aviation nut. I flew single engine aircraft MANY (ahem) years ago, unfortunately for a short time.
Not so long ago, I rented aircraft with a pilot in command. My favorite area was in the mountains of North Carolina. I have hit the books again, reading the Private Pilot Manual, and I am a member of AOPA - Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. This may be the time I go for the certificate. But until then......

This is really trivial - a petty issue - but is just one example of how some people at work have an attitude.
One of our ideals is to provide "world class service" to guests and each other (co-workers). Among other things, that means being courteous, right? Apparently it does not apply to the landscaping supervisors.

In keeping up with the latest changes in software, I finally migrated the old Mikeb1028.com from Joomla 1.5.22 to Joomla 1.6. There are new features to learn, most of which I already have, and some quirks. For example, there is currently no commenting system for 1.6. Which sucks because I like to get your feedback when I write something. So, until a developer releases a compatible comment system, comments are not available. Hang in there as the Joomla community is usually quick to program these things.
I'm still working on the article regarding Florida's piece of work, Governor (the King) Rick Scott. But when I am about ready to write some more, he amazes me again with some other corporate-like decision-making.
And the story I mentioned in the past is about someone at work...it has taken 3-years to write and not because I type slow. I actually type pretty fast. But it's private so that's all I'll tell you for now. Haha

Hello Blog....
It's been awhile, hasn't it? I was looking through the websites I maintain when I ran across this one. Seems like I haven't added anything since November, 2010. It isn't because nothing has happened since then. It is more like... what do you want to read? What can I tell you? Will it be interesting enough for you to want to come back and read more? I hope so because otherwise it'll be another 3 months until I write something again.
