Quadcopters, Phuket and the Andaman Sea
The furore of the New Year has begun to subside so I thought I would have a play with the Quadcopter.
Wow - it worked - i went to Nai Harn beach and I could hover the Quadcopter and now I was able to rotate it - this was a very real result.
Too many people so I chose to try another beach... Sirinart National Park.
This was magnificent, the water was a little rough but I was on the sand. I remembered my #Quadcopter lessons on twitter and found some broken cement for a flat surface and
WHOOOOOSHHHHH
up it flew - fabulous, i was on a wave and it went high above the trees.....
and a gust of wind tossed it sideways and it rotated in midair - obviously my controls did not work OR it was upside down? It kept going to the wrong way....
Stop everything... The Quadcopter plummeted into the Sea...
Running into the water I picked it out as swiftly as possible....
Returning to the car the phone worked and the Quadcopter still responded....
BUT then the copter blades (1 set) began to rotate after a phone call was received?
Then my phone did not work... oh dear... watch this space.
Hand guns and killing
The amount of killings that I read about by a gun is getting worse.
There should be more regulation with the ownership of guns
- then I see this poster - where is Thailand on this list?
Ouch!
Guess Who? and much more
Guess Who Aliens!
This is a fabulous game which I have played any number of times - recently finding an App for it as well!! It has served me well both as a teacher, a parent and just for fun - it serves wonderfully as a tool for Education that it is a shame that it is under used - but enough!
Fabulous...

Sea Walking on Coral Island?

AIS devices on speedboats and fishing vessels -"“I like the idea of AIS being installed on all boats, especially if Phuket is to be known as a world-class boating destination,” Gov Nisit said. - “If possible, I would like to see local tour boats and fishing boats using the system as well. At least, this way, we can know immediately about any accidents and who was at fault.”- In September, Mr Phuripat ordered all foreign-flagged vessels be fitted with AIS devices by October 1 - Mr Phuriphat later clarified that all foreign-registered craft – including small, recreational yachts – would be required to carry an AIS transceiver, as is required of larger vessels. - and vessels without a foreign flag? Marine Office demands every tourist wears a life-jacket - and the Thai people? “I have hired 15 staff who will be stationed at each pier on the island to ensure that every single passenger is wearing a life jacket. If they are not, the boat will not be allowed to leave the pier.”  |
