2012-03-05 15:07:58 - Logging in as SOL
I have looked all over the site and can find no way of logging in as SOL so that I may see finishes of the "practice racing". Whenever I try, I am already logged in as 'Rod', and can find no place to log in as anybody else.
It says I can log in as 'guest' as well as 'SOL', but I can find no place to do that either.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Thnx. Only wanted it as a technique for viewing the finishes of practice races. I am reaching the conclusion that the only way to get an accurate finish order is to take a screen shot just prior to the finish of #1 boat, and then measure the distance of each finisher from the line, but this will work only if all the boats are on the same course...and therefore the same speed.
Could the programming be extended to give a special client (or whatever) just for the practice races where the number of boats is usually less than 25. A one second time interval would be equally nice with all racers moving at the same time.
I realize that SOL is intended for ocean racing, BUT it is being used regularly for these 'practice' in-port races, before the main event starts.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Best to use another browser. If you normally use FireFox, or Internet Explorer, or chrome...use another to log in as sol.
There are several, I normally use chrome, so when I want to log in as sol or guest, I open IE or FF or Opera. All are free and an easy download.
This way you can keep your log in in your usual browser, and view any race as sol or guest.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
