Louis Bourque's dashboard

Louis Bourque replied on September 08, 2008 01:43 to the idea "Add more fields to flights" in Jetrecord:

The way my logbook is setup, I have the following columns:
Single Engine:
Day:
Dual (1)
PIC (2)
Night:
Dual (3)
PIC (4)
Multi-Engine:
Day:
Dual (5)
PIC (6)
Co-Pilot (7)
Night:
Dual (8)
PIC (9)
Co-Pilot (10)

These columns are "mandatory" in that all flight hours must fall into one (and only one) of these columns. Flights that for example start during the day and end at night would be split up so that the number of day hours are under day, and night hours under night. There's no "Duration" field, it's just the sum of the columns.

In addition to these fields, I have extra fields that I enter the times to log cross-country, etc. These times are not part of the grand total, so the times are entered here and in one of the 1-10 fields. The fields I have are:
Cross Country:
Dual
PIC
Night
Instrument:
Actual
Hood
SIM
# IFR Approaches

I think you could get rid of the "duration" field, and set it's value to the sum of 1-10. It would be one less thing to fill out when adding flights.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the e-mail that Virgin Mobile generates, and I think the issue might be similar to Sprint. Virgin sends an e-mail with a thumbnail attached, and a link to "View Message". This page has the thumbnail, and a link to "Larger Image" and "Download Media".

Larger image is a compressed version (~30KB) and Download Media gives a form that allows to chose which images to download (uses javascript for submit), resulting in a zip file with the uncompressed images (~300KB in my case).

The "View Message" link contains a unique invite code:
http://pxt.virginmobile.ca:80/shareMe...(invite code)
Which is used by the "Download Media" link as:
http://pxt.virginmobile.ca/guest/down...(invite code)

TwitPic uses header image instead of my picture

I tried to send a picture using Virgin Mobile (Canada). The e-mail that they generate has a header image stating "A PXT for you" with their logo. TwitPic uses this images instead of the one I actually want to send. The header is actually bigger (63KB) while the image I send was compressed to 10KB. See: http://twitpic.com/1gaj

Is there anything that can be done about this or am I out of luck? Does anyone know why my picture was compressed so small (It's 250KB on the phone) and if I can prevent that?

Last Facebook Status repeats

When I look at my lifestream, the last facebook update repeats itself evey other item. Right now my lifestream looks like this:

(about 10 twitter updates)
facebook status update 1
twitter message 1
facebook status update 1
twitter message 2
facebook status update 1
twitter message 3
facebook status update 1
twitter message 4
facebook status update 1
twitter message 4
flick update
facebook status update 1
facebook status update 2
(some other items that are normal)

Last night the facebook message that was repeating was different, so it looks like it's just repeating the last facebook status message.
I'm using "Sort Lifestream by Time" and using FF3b5

Louis Bourque marked one of Ben's replies in Socialthing as useful. Ben replied to the idea "Why can't I aggregate/link entries from different applications but the same person?".

Matt Galligan's reply to "Where have my services gone?!" was just promoted to the most useful! Louis Bourque and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

This is only because we've temporarily turned off these services. We need to have more indication that this is what happened, but essentially, these services were providing to many calls back to the main sites and it was problematic. We are in the process of fixing our architecture to correct for this.

Louis Bourque replied on March 10, 2008 15:16 to the problem "disappearing services" in Socialthing:

Same here. Worked fine at first, then a few minutes later, Digg and YouTube are gone. Facebook and Flickr are still present.

Digg and YouTube are not showing at all in the Services tab, not in Available nor Using.
