Making it better? Really Google? How about a user phone number or the ability to comment on your blog?

 

I read with some measure of humor about this blog I saw from Google saying how they are making it better? Making what better? Oh sure Google is the king of search and consumer cloud computing but Google has yet to meet enterprise demands that qualify as software and utilities for Small to Medium sized business's. But that said and a very great hats off and congrats to Google for doing what they have done. But would it hurt Google to have a user info help desk phone number or call in service? Sure help pages and FAQ pages help a little, but when your trying to find information to get Google's help in, forget it. Dr. Schmidt is not going to call of course and so on, but a response from the Mountain View California computer SAAS company could give some sort of site map and a phone number of some sort. Granted as huge as Google is and a worldwide company would get billions upon billions of calls, per day , per hour. But that said, having a line for SMB's would help, for things like Adsense and so on. That way if you truly needed help from the mother ship you could get it. I find this to be the same attitude with some of our so called OTR trade organizations. Sure OOIDA when they were small were available 24/7, but look at who was there first the ITA, and as a chapter of the remnants of the ITA, the UITA and us in the Rode Eaglez Association among others, with the various real world challenges the UITA is there to to be served, but to serve you who deliver and haul this nation and the world and our towing brothers and sisters. So really Google and others who really is Making it Better? The UITA, and us in the Rode Eaglez Association.

We are rebuilding the web site

It's not yet done but it's getting close. Back in 2002 I discovered quite by accident a streaming radio station and thought why can't we do this? Then with tons of manure just never quite got at it. In 2005 I finally thought I was in the beginnings but got called back into service by the USMC so again all was put on hold. Okay its 2008 and its time to get our combined print and streaming radio internet site flowing for all who love flying as well as those going towing or trucking Hazzard County style. While I will not yet tell you to go visit the site, I will tell you it will be at www.ayrewolffm.com what follows after that will be done slowly and carefully, with a pro web site builder, to make sure its as goof proof as it can be. Likewize www.ayrewolfradio.com however that being what it is and all studio and office hq's need to be found, and approved and so on. The printed version of the web site will have not only my daily barkings and bytes but we'll have such great things you'll wonder if its really us doing it. But it is. Now finally as I eluded to last blog. When I did a Google search for hot women posing with hot trucks all I saw was some porn sites along with big high rise 4X4's , but not the kind of truck you and I get into, likewise nothing like a super seatcover in a tight Nomex flight suit with a vintage warbyrd. That will be fixed, very soon with some long awaited photography with some of ya'll's rigs and byrds. The thing will be called Highway Honeys and Haulers, the Hot Hooker's and Haulers of yesteryear is something we really can't do cuzz since the climate where I hang my hat even if I do get the bunk house in Hammett is ultra conservative but who knows maybe in a few months we as an organization can revisit that. For me as an individual no can do, too much manure would result as it did in both CokeVille as well as Bountiful . This time when I move, and finally unpack I'm staying put for some time to come. I'd still be in Heyburn if that ass wipe Brian Nugent hadn't gave me and song and dance that I paid for, overpaid is the word I'd use. Waiting for Mr. Cable to get here so good numbers to ya'll see ya'll out on the highway.

Will they truly go away?

As I awakened to a brand new Monday early morning I clicked on my email and saw more spam trash mail. So without anything really pending I clicked on the unsubscribe tab. The question is will these spam offers really stop coming into my email? Or is this a way for those spam centers senders to really see that YOU or me is a real address via the Internet and email, or as I question will they really go away? More on DukesFest and so on later, I'm nursing a big headache and have Jury duty at a JAG hearing in Burley at 16:00 Hours.

Don't you wish some web sites would get their crap together?

Before I get going here need to say nobody panic. Both BlackSheep Towing as well as Dixie Towing is still us. However that said SpeedWolf Towing is us in Pocatello Idaho. Nuff sedd there. With that said I need to speak my peace here. I logged on the web site www.trfootnotes.com Wrote a letter to the editor concerning something I saw in this months edition, and saw on the FootNotes home page a link to TowTalk.net . So I logged on there and tried 5 times to register there and finally gave up. They have this security code on their registration form that try as I might just could not satisfy the blooming thing so I said pee on this. My opinion is if someone is going to build a web site especially if that site is going to have a forum thing is don't make it so dang hard to register to air your voice. In fact if you can't get your web site operating well give it up. Get a good web site builder to build it right, then offer it to us not offer the thing with bugs that will make it where someone finally sezz adios. As both the Rode Knytes Association and us here in the AyreWolves Vintage Warbyrd Aviation Association builds our site you can bet your next tow that it will run right, before we tell you its up. Granted tech goofs are just a part of computers and the Internet, likewise IT development is not what it is supposed to be but the fact is, test drive the thing daily to make sure its running on all 8 . If not put up a notice so everybody who logs onto that site of yours is having fits and give a real contact point so that people can tell you the site is disabled or not operating right. In case you did not know before hand. Any mile that's my gripes this morning. So TowTalk get it right or pull the plug. More in the PM.

Sneaky Spam email and the Miss AyreWolves Project AyreWolves Daily Breefs

I can remember and I'm not that old, only in the circle pattern over the 50 yard line of the game of life, but I can remember when flying even military ayrecraft was done without all the fly by wire computerized avionics, that's right flown by sweat not a computer. That said doing all we do here in the AyreWolves Vintage Warbyrd Aviation Association most could not be done without a computer, or at least Internet access to post blogs etc. With that on your HUD, I caught this sneaky email program by the handle of TAGGED. Where its supposed to be one of these social networking sites, the problem its a open door for spam and tons of it. If you get this spoof ignore it and avoid it where you can . Spam invites trash and more over virus's so if you get an invite from someone with the TAGGED web site, delete it.

Okay then the Miss AyreWolves Project.

To better get out the news and views of what we are doing here in our organization through the many aviation publications among a few venues but also including TV ads on the Military Channel and on the History Channel among just a few, the ayrecrew here at the HQ of the AyreWolves Vintage Warbyrd Aviation Association, have decided to launch both an online as well as in person talent search to find a Miss AyreWolf for the promotion of our group, as said. The winning talent snags a $150k modeling contract with royalties plus a bunch of other aspiring media perks. So if your a hot looking honey wanting to make some good money give us a call at 208-705-0676. Noon to 17:00 hours Mountain Standard Time Tuesdays and Thursdays, or email us at ayrewof@gmail.com for further 411.

More in the PM

Many are called few are chosen

Just because someone wants to be a member of the AyreWolves does not mean they truly get to be a member of the AyreWolves. As it has been said, many are called few are chosen. When one decides they want to be a member of the AyreWolves the first thing they need to do is send an email to ayrewolf@gmail.com requesting AyreWolves Aviation Association membership information. Then they need to give a real working phone number be it cell phone or land line. We in the recruiting command make a phone call to that perspective member. We invite them in for an interview. If they are seeking active flying membership we also ask for them to fly their byrd in for our inspection with all FAA required paper work to be current. If their ayrecraft is still under construction we fly to them look it over then we decide if its a valid AyreWolves caliber ayrecraft. Once that is done a FAA physical is required along with an extensive background investigation is requested and if that passes mustard then we invite that perspective member recruit in for a second interview with executive officers . Then after that if all still is in good standing and to our qualifications then we establish a task for that recruit to pass, as an initiation . The task can be anything from finding female model talent for  future membership TV ad to finding food for one of our ayreshows. If that perspective recruit passes the initiation, then membership dues are collected, and a entire membership vote is requested on that perspective recruit, If that recruit is voted on in a good way that perspective member then is put on a 120 day probation period. Then if that new recruit performs their duties well then an only then are they allowed to be a member and that recruit is assigned rank, membership number given a organization jacket and is then a member. If however that recruit fails in any way of meeting AyreWolves Aviation Association standards their dues money is refunded and our masters at arms escorts that person away from our HQ and will be reexamined at a future date.  As I said many are called few are chosen.

Next blog, the Miss AyreWolves project, L8R Aviators.

Welcome to the Home of the AyreWolves

Welcome to the home of the AyreWolves Vintage Warbyrds Association. Much has been written about those old ayrecraft that saved many ground forces lives, as well as helped create and still protects our freedom in not only the Confederate States of America but also the United States of America. Years ago during the civil war of the States was created a militia called the United Confederate Marines. While the UCMC no longer exists today we in the AyreWolves are recreating the force in our officership rankings and construction of our organization. While many of our membership have served as well as currently serve in many military aviation forces, we are the descendents and reassigned members of the legendary VMF214 and VMA214 BlackSheep Squadron. After all there are always wolves in amongst sheep as it is said. In future blogs of our organization I will report the news of our group, relate history of some of the ayrecraft we flew as well as the many ayrecraft we have restored to flying status and own and currently fly. Hope you all enjoy it. Our membership is open to all vintage warbird(warbyrd) enthusiasts  from all walks of life. Our dues are moderate at $100.00 per year with hosts of benefits. If you should want to join, just call us at 208-705-0676 .
