Ahhh, poor Raven. Used the the quiet of the Pirate boards, where posts come by the day.

Nope. This is pretty much standard operating procedure around these boards, I know... :)

A red "B" indicates the founder of an established team of five or more members


Whoops. It seems that I forgot about this when I told you to add me, Raven.

I am Co Founder of Calm Chaos, currently with 27 members. Sorry about that.

No real hurry to fix it though. :-)

Knightmare: Done, though I couldn't find this Michigan Sugar you mentioned. You're in the river, instead. :) You'll be included in the next update. Watch this space. (Or the space on Einstein or Pirates...)

Cool. Thanks, Raven. The river is close enough. I only live a few feet from it....lol

Ready the catapult!

Good luck with that. I will sit and laugh as your " pirate ship " grounds itself in the shallow water. :-)

uh no... you'd be riding the catapult. Into the river.
But thanks for playing!

Puh-leze. The only thing you are going to be using that catapult for is to throw yourself at the mercy of Calm Chaos.

OK. I'll throw up on the mercy of Calm Chaos.

We reserve that right for team members only. Of course, you could always....

That's one small step for man. One giant leap for Misfit. (read sig and follow instructions.)

Misfit: Not sure what you mean about KC6UFM. My file still has him just off in the ocean off the Star of India as he was in bjango's original...

unless I zoom in real (real real) close I see both markers in the same location. when I click there the markers are separated but the lines go to the same point.

That's a new feature in the latest version of GE. It does that if you are trying to get at a specific marker within a cluster that appear to be close together at a certain altitude. (Try doing it from orbit at virtually any point in Germany! :) It's handy for letting you browse several markers in close proximity.

Looked at our house using Google Earth, and zooming down to "slightly blurry".

Interestingly the picture must have been taken in a time period 3 years ago maximum and 6 months minimum.

I can pin the time to this period as the cars on my drive, using Google Earth were my wife's last car (failed MOT October last year). And m car, under out patio, was new 3 years ago.

These vehicles can be seen clearly!
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

According to their site, they update the data when possible, but are at the mercy of satellite overpass timing and cloud cover. Until recently my house still showed a tree that we had removed over a year ago. I've also noticed some landmarks in Britain (notably a football stadium) that still appears under construction, even though they've been playing in it all season.

Knightmare: Do you have a prefered (small) team logo to put in your label to identify you with your team?

Misfit: Is there a team logo for BOINC Synergy I can use for Zain's marker label?

I appreciate logic, when it's not used for illogical reasons. :-)
