“The bitterness of poor quality Lingers long after The sweetness of low price is forgotten.” -John Ruskin
PARDON MY DUST!
I am in the process of re-formatting my site a bit. I am going to be going to a Google Docs format whereby this site is a shell and a directory of how to find the information and articles that will live in Google Docs. The links will open in the same window/tab as the main site, and will contain a link to get back to the main site, or you can use your browser's "back" button.
What does this mean in the short term? It means that you may find articles in two places. I will be revamping some of the categories and sections, but I will not take any article down until the new version is first posted with links to the same article in Google Docs.
What does this mean in the long term? It means that I'll be able to get information out more quickly, edit and make corrections more quickly, and make better and more frequent updates to ongoing long-term T&E or other projects. In short, it means more information, faster. This should benefit both the readers and the vendors that send items for T&E as information will be able to be kept current much more easily.
What are the downsides? There may be potential speed issues with accessing the Google Docs. I have heard some complaints that the pages may be slower to load. The good news is that once the page does load it is done, and you're only getting one article per page. The other downside is that some government and other work servers may block Google Docs, for which I am also working on a workaround.
What are the upsides? As mentioned, it means more information, faster. It also means better formatting for accessing on smartphones, netbooks, etc. The new pages will be optimized for a 1024 wide screen, but should be viewable on smaller screens as well, and embedded pictures will be limited to 600 pixels wide by 300-400 tall, and linked images will be limited to 1024 pixels wide.
Thanks for your patience in this, and if you have any suggestions, comments, means of assitance, or information you think I will find useful in this transition period, please visit the ABOUT ME page on the left side of your screen to find out how to get in touch with me.
Tacticalyellowvisor.net is the home of rob_s and is the place to come to find reviews, commentary, raw data, and other information relating to the defensive application of firearms by a non-law enforcement civilian.
While some information may be applicable for military and law enforcement purposes, the primary focus of this site, and it's owner, is the building, competing, and training with handguns and rifles as pertains to self, family, and homeland defense. This information, and opinions derived from same, has been developed in my use of defense-oriented firearms in various matches and training classes over the years and continues to evolve with each event.
I am not "married" to any piece of equipment and am willing to try anything (within reason) at least once. If it works, and I find that it improves my time, increases my accuracy, or reduces the weight of my firearm or gear then I keep it. It it doesn't work, slows me down, makes me miss, or is unduly heavy, then I trash it.
