I think you would enjoy flying with me, I am quite chatty, but Im not too bad at it. Ive had several rope breaks so far, and have recovered excellently.



As long as you have an equal amount of take offs to landings, it's all good.

Not only in 7.5 hours have you had numerous near disasters but you fib about your sticky keys.

Good god man all you had to say was you spilled cherry coke or beer.

lol. Well, they werent really disasters, they just seemed like it to someone new to flight. they were:

1) Takeoff from a very slippery runway. Plane skidded on takeoff, rotated 90 degrees to the left, and nearly crashed right wingtip into runway. Cause: A rather large puddle. I recovered perfectly said instructor.

2) On another aero-tow, gusts caused the already ineffective aelerons on 233 to become unresponsive. Cause: Nothing. 233s just do that. Recovery: a bit of sweat, but as soon as we released everything cleared up.

3) Running OVER rope on auto-tow, and subsequent rope break at 400ft. Cause: Car got a flat tire, slowing down for a second, and causing us to move faster then the rope. Rope break cause was just wear and tear. Recovery: Perfect according to instructors. Perfect downwinf landing with proper flare. My best landing yet in fact.

And would you like to see a photo from my bedroom window? The islands largest freeway is just 20ft way ;)

Well, to answer his original question I am titled "Network Engineer" but it's actually closer to "Network Monitor".

Philosophy is a great field to get an undergraduate degree in: law schools love classics and philosophy dudes; many companies hire professional ethicists for whatever reason. Being trained in systematic thinking has applications for all kinds of stuff.

My work keeps me busy beyond full time. I'm perpetually behind in projects and trying to get everything done, while satisfying my obligations to others in several countries. The pay's not great, but it keeps me living well, and I've been able to live in the US and many places in Europe. My office down at the department of Philosophy isn't big, and I have to share it with some others, but it's got a pretty good view of the Alps.



What is your philosophy on organization?:)
