I've been back from cottage country for a few days now, nursing a few dozen mosquito bites. This should explain why I haven't been posting as regularly over the last week.

Before I go on with the links for the week, I'd like to reassure The Drone Bay listeners that the show is still around, though we've had some difficulty getting together to record no.13. We were initially supposed to do so on Friday the 13th - which would have been really cool. But because of timing, sleeping and PC issues, we've been unable to. Rest assured, the show will get done soon. We normally record on Monday nights, so I expect Al, Crovan and I to be back on schedule after this week-end.

OK, so back to the recent news:

Various news items:

Fly safe folks!
