BuffaloHELP it's a matter of not giving up early and practice, practice... But you are not alone, thee are a lot of handy modules for you available to control your flight. For instance the orbiter has an autopilot available that sets your Angle of Attack to 40 degrees to regulate the heat, otherwise you will be roasted. I will plan to post a tutorial in the tutor section

Wow thanks for this tip. As a new member I thought due to the amount of members visiting Xisto we have to live with a sometimes slow connection. But this does the trick, it speeds up again!

Everyone wants to join a specific group and behave like the others, especially teenagers because they have to profile theirselves. This way of behaviour is the result of fear, fear for rejection by other people. And if there is a guy or girl being him or herself, jealousy is being turned into criticism by others.

Hi Becca,The mermaid tells me you should be a young person and I like the way you did this tremendous job. I will showed my daughters how you did and they appreciated your drawing very much. The way you combined the links and the drawing is very good.I looked at your previous design as well and you can see an enormous progression. Now everything is one mouseclick away and easy to navigate. Proceed like this!

Hi Mich,I like your website, it shows love for nature, caring and it is distinguished. It gives me a warm feeling. You succeeded in combining technique and art.Most webdesigns I saw are focussed on high tech (kind of nerdy) and I think when I'm going to design a website it will be nerdy too because I'm a technical person with less focus on feelings.You can see it is important for you to build a personal website and not a website that is one of all. So from that perspective your site will be remembered easily.Ok now the technical stuff: I browsed it with firefox and I had no problems, all went well

You are abosultely right Kioku simplicity is beautiful. Sorry Goosestaf it seems the site is unreachable

looked it up at wikipedia: Ontologies are used in Artificial Intelligence systems and Expert Systems. Expert systems are programs that analyze information about specific problems and are made up of a set of rules. Expert systems are for instance used by helpdesk problem classifications and determination. A free ontology editor and knowledge acquisition system is Protege Protege a free ontology system

Fravia, this guy is awesome. His website is full of techniques and tutorials, he shows the reverse engineering of a program and how to search the internet. The first is to detailed for me (you have to know assembly language). The tutorial about searching the internet is very useful. Basic Web Searching Techniques is the portal to tutors how to search essays, images, targets, how to search at usenet, irc and so on. He gives you hints & tips and links to search engines. He gives a tutorial how to find the image at the website without having any name. After reading this all you shouldn't lost anymore!

Hi jlhaslip Thanks for the reply As an IT architect I design systems for on demand computing (more the integration of software packages & systems then development of the applications itself). What it makes interesting is that my designs cover the end to end scope, from end user request (web portal) through end user service (deskside support, password resets ...). I am also a subject matter expert at asset mangement and service management and give courses related to ITIL, that's the IT Infrastructure Library (now becoming more known in the US). Related to personal computers I have a wide knowledge, but I'm not a high tech specialist at a specific subject, but I'm sure I can help others with their questions. I have two favorite programs, one is 'Blender' (a free 3d image and animation suite) and the other is 'Orbiter' (a free space simulator).

Hi everybody I'm from the Netherlands and a member for already 6 days! I'm middle aged and working for the largest computer company (no names here ). But knowing nothing about web design I came across this forum for learing, practice and giveback. What I like is the way you, the serious, friendly members at Xisto, reply to my posts. I know I'm gonna making friends here...

I usually play flight simulation games MS like flight simulator, Lock On Modern Air Combat and Orbiter. Lock On is the most realistic flight combat game, if you have a joystick like for instance Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar you can fly like a real pilot (radar, navigation, weapon selection, locks). The graphics are awesome, the scene is based at Krim (Ukraine) Orbiter is a wonderful space simulator, you can plan to orbit earth, go to the moon or beyond. There are guys playing STS (space shuttle) missons and Apollo missions. Orbiter is very realistic and free. You can download it at Orbiter - A free space flight simulator. It is written by Martin Schweiger.

If you say AJAX to me, I'm thinking of the dutch soccer club. Soccer is sport number 1 in the Netherlands and many people are supporting AJAX (http://english.ajax.nl/). The best soccer players of AJAX and other dutch team players are put in the dutch national team to play in the football league.

Mich, very much appreciated. Thank you for your help, I will check this out!

At the moment I have a nice background of a vacation photo taken in Croatia. But normally I use screenshots I took from the Orbiter space simulator. Some shots from the simulator are at the orbiter gallery http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/gallery.html

Wow, thank you all for the good replies! Thanks for the nice examples, links and lessons. I have enough information to study for a whole weekend. The website made by Mich is just what I had in mind.tillo

I'm new in web design and I want to build a web site where my family can view thumbnail pages with family photos and select the thumbnails to view the original photo. As a starter I thought about a couple of thumbnail pages to increment or decrement. I want to generate the pages with a free tool in order to review the html code for self learning purpose. Is this a good approach and is there any free tool suitable for this?Tillo

This is a great simulator. I have spent hours and hours to fly to the moon, mars and other planets. Download the simulator at the url posted earlier, download next the add- ons made by the orbiter community from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Add-ons are built for navigating orbits, moon landings and the complete Apollo project as well. Cheers tillo
