Me, Cyber-terrorist ! The bug is solved

The bug which lead some of you to an HTTP 403 Error - Access forbidden is now solved. After exchanging a couple of mails with the company hosting this blog, it appears that the source of the problem was their keyword based security system. Some of my posts were flagged as “suspicious” because of the repeated use of the word… cockpit !



Spice up this blog !

The time has come for a technical maintenance of this blog (for techies, migration to WordPress 2.5). I decided to couple it with a major overhaul, so this is a chance for YOU to give some feed-back.

I Want YouIn the weeks, this blog will also get a new design, a new layout, and may be new content. This is where I need your inputs. Do you have suggestions ? Want more of this, or less of that ? You want to suggest new topics, or have ideas for specific post ?

To bring some fresh air, I’m also thinking to create an open column for guest writers. If you want to take part, be it for a single post or for a series, a recurrent topic, or anything else, you’re welcome.

I’d also like to know which was your favorite post, and which one you did not like, and why.

You think there are eseless things ? Too basic information ? Too much repetition of known things ? I’m not looking after compliments (ok, they’re fine as well), but for ways to make this a better blog… for you.

If you’re a blogger and want some contents exchange, or want a guest post from my side, I’m also happy to contribute. There are many ways to enrich this blog, grow the blogosphere, and continue to animate the flying community.

So now it’s your turn to tell how to make this blog better, and remember, no taboos ! Hurry-up, time is ticking…

    Hey,
    A mobile friendly version of the site would be great! ….Basically meaning less intensive graphics, and better tailored to a screen resolution of 240×320. To replace the pictures with a clickable link and moving the sidebars to the bottom for instance may be a few ways of achieving that.

    Downloading web content on a cell phone is quite expensive, so some kind of “light weight” version for that purpose would be a great new addition to the site. :) Maybe you could call it wap.plasticpilot.net or something? …. :)

    I have a php script that can automatically check wether a visitor to the site is on a mobile device for the purpose of automatic redirection. Let me know if you are interested in it and I can mail it to you.

    Best regards,
    Axel

    Hi Axel, thank you for being the first. I note your idea, and hope that now other comments will come in…

  3. Don’t make EVERYTHING wap friendly - I enjoy the photographs and the shorter videos!

    I like the fact that you have a variety of different types of article here - I hope you don’t go choosing favourites :)
