According to Scaled Composite's web site, the world's first private manned spaceflight will launch on Monday, June 21, 2004 from the Mojave Desert. The public is invited.
The FAQ page gives more details such as the exact date and time (Monday, June 21, 2004; 6:30 am PDT), why the launch is so early in the morning (winds), and live media coverage of the event (live broadcast by CNN).
Good luck, Spaceship One Crew!
Alright, so it's been a week since I've posted anything. I spent last week in Pasadena, CA on work-related travel and most of those days were spent in almost constant meetings.
I pulled up the front page of clack today to trace down a comment, and low and behold, it was empty! Well, it wasn't empty, but there were no entries on it.
If you're running MT, the default behavior is to keep only the number of days' worth of posts on the front page that you specified when you set up your blog. Note this is number of actual days! This is not the number of days in the past that actually contain a post!
Here's how to "fix" that problem (from the help file of MT 2.661):
Number of days displayed The number of days displayed by default on your index templates. Note that you can override this behavior in your MTEntries tag; this is merely the default, used when you do not supply MTEntries with any attributes.For example, if you wish to display the last 15 entries that you have posted to your weblog, you could use the lastn attribute to MTEntries instead of relying on the default behavior:
< MTEntries lastn="15">
...
< /MTEntries>
Note that, if you choose 7 days, 7 days means the last 7 consecutive days, not necessarily the last 7 days on which you posted an entry. So if you have posted on just 3 of the last 7 days, only the posts from those 3 days will be listed on your main indexes.Note also that a ``day'' is defined as the time from 24 hours ago to now, where ``now'' is the time at which you are rebuilding your site. It does not mean from 12 AM to now on the current day. As an example, if you are including 1 day on your index and you posted an entry one day at 6 PM, that entry will show up on your index until the next day at 5:59 PM.
