NKC Kite Day @ Neale Park The Nelson Kite Club monthly kite day was on at Neale Park today. I didn't arrive until about 2.30pm (it starts at 1pm), so there was already some racing going on when I got there. Some close racing to with three phantoms in the air along with Bill's Quad-foil. I got the buggy out and unpacked my 3.0m Flexi-foil Blade II. Soon I had that little 3 meter blade looping and swooping under, over, and between 12-15m Phantoms (and holding my own... almost). I was sweating while I worked the little kite all over the sky, hunting for power, while the guys flying the Phantoms were just cruising. Great fun! Two Phantoms flying very close, shows just how competitive the racing was getting :) Bill (left), Paul (middle), and Sam (right on board) enjoying the breeze. 8:43:47 PM    Comment []

Sales I get spam. Lots and lots of spam. It doesn't bother me anymore. I am almost completely desensitised. As you probably know spammers often use 'word soup' at the start of an email to confuse spam blocking software. I just got a spam mail selling diplomas and degrees with 'no interview required'. The first line of the email was word soup, which I found particularly appropriate, but perhaps not the best sales technique: "Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery" ...now doesn't that just make you want to buy something? 10:52:07 AM    Comment []
