http://www.researchtriangleparknc.com

I now have a new site that is the replacement for the http://www.whatstodotoday.com site. The problem with that site was AJAX is very difficult to get listed in the search engines. So, now I have a new website about the Research Triangle Park area. http://www.researchtriangleparknc.com will be a site that tells users about all the interesting things they can do in the RTP area. It will start off small at first, but I hope it will grow over time. I will also link the mapping application within this site so users can still use it. We'll see...

www.whatstodottoday.com

Well, I learned a good lesson about AJAX from doing the whatstodotoday site. The original purpose was to have a mapping application that users could put pushpins and enter comments about cool places to visit. Well, AJAX is horrible for getting crawled and I have had absolutely no users for a year. I think I am going to get rid of that domain and pick up another about the Raleigh/Durham area. I'm taking a C++ class so its eating up all my spare time but I'll try to put one together.

Updating www.rtprailfan.com site

Well, its been quite a while since I've posted anything. Actually I wasn't doing much railfan stuff over the summer. I usually turn the scanner stream off because of the computer in the attic and just doing other things. Recently I turned the stream back on. Right now I have this wierd setup in the side yard. I got the traintenna omni from DPDProductions but I have it mounted on this pole in the yard because I haven't figured out how to get it on the roof yet. In addition, I don't think my HOA would like me mounting it up there. Anyways, I have it connected to a Maxtrac in the garage, not a bad setup but it would be better if the antenna were on the roof. I have also been upading the RTPRailfan site as I have let it go for a while now. Hope to be adding some new material but probably won't completely overhall the site. Talk more soon....
