GillBates0's Journal: That's all folks!

That's all folks, this is it!

Please feel free to enjoy any humorous, and/or clever and/or childish April Fool's anecdotes around my office, my ex-office, my family, the continents, and the dubloo-dubloo-dubloo.dot.www.com's out there, this fine and snowy New England April 1st morning. Rest assured, I'm celebrating with you in spirit wherever you are.

I'm in the middle of a sleepless and hectic release week and as such unable to indulge in, participate in or share any lolhappyfunrofl pranks with all of you, my friends, family and colleagues, current and past.

Let this be an April Fool's Day to commemorate all of the past fun April Fool's days we've shared together.

If you've ever been enjoyed a memorable April fool's please feel free to share the lulz with your near and dear ones over a cold beer and/or adult recreational beverage of your choice.

Or go watch a movie, refresh thats_all_folks.gif or something.

Just leave me alone.

This is actually Kent's 2nd flight

[Marxist Hacker 42]

The Oregonian reported on both- the first was 12 hours, the 2nd 9. The first went 215 miles. This guy is headed towards actually perfecting multiple weather balloon flight- he's just got to work on his landings a bit more, and carry more ballast.

I'm kinda hoping Kent Couch flies in his couch next.

Re:

I'm hoping that he finds a way to have each balloon on an individual line accessible from the chair, and carries a hat pin, and is patient enough to accept a 1 foot/minute descent.

Anyway, that's the way I'd deal with what he calls his most intractable problem with this flying device- the landings. So far he's used parachutes to help with the problem.
