You would think after 6 months you would remove all your links to dead pages!
Why do you remove a page but not remove the link to it on your other pages? That
is just POOR taste for you to have and that is not good treatment of us who look
forward to viewing info on a subject just to be told it nolonger exists! and
after 6 months the links still exist but the page doesn't! Get a better job if
you can't handle this one!

"Get a better job"... considering I don't get paid and do this for the enjoyment, beggars can't be choosers.  I try to keep everything in working order but mistakes happen and as of last perusal of the site, I did not notice any dead links.  But I really like how you give no reference information.  You just prefer to bitch and moan.  So, until I have an idea what you are even talking about.. sorry for your pain and suffering.

Even though I have not been posting much, I am still around and mostly active.  Been keeping busy with job searching, projects around the house and keeping the minions from killing each other.  Will get around to posting more soon.

In 2007 353 people were rescued because they had personal locater beacons to send a distress signal to NOAA SARSAT satellites.  In it's 25 year history, COSPAS-SARSAT has been credited with more than 22,000 rescues worldwide.

Alaska and Florida recorded the most rescues in 2007 – 73 each. North Carolina was third with 16 rescues. Twenty-four states experienced a SARSAT rescue. Of the 353 rescues for 2007, 235 people were saved at sea, 30 were rescued from downed aircraft, and 88 were saved with help from their PLBs — the highest total since PLBs became operational nationwide in 2003.

Anyone with plans to hike, or camp, in a remote area, where cell phone service is not reliable, or sail a boat far from shore, should not leave home without an emergency locater beacon, registered with NOAA.

Well, it is 2008 now.. time for another interesting year to begin.

I have a couple of resolutions for this year.. the number one being "Find a bloody job!" (This is not the best are to be in the Internet type field).. still have not found a position yet for full time work.  I have a side project I am working on, but that is the only thing really going on right now.  Other than that, need to go to the gym more.

This will also be an interesting year for World Wind  as well.  Never know too many things in advance, but usually big things come up quick.
