If anyone has sent me email since the 20th of December or so, email on the server has been down and I haven’t received anything. Of course, after working reliably for months, it goes down just after I leave for England for Christmas! Anyway, I think I am back and I think I have found [...]

I did a major upgrade of the webserver yesterday, so the website was offline for most of the morning. I am still finding things that I missed, so if anyone notices any errors anywhere on the site, please let me know so that I can get them fixed. Thanks

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for not updating the site more often nor returning emails. I just got back from vacation and am approaching an important deadline at work. Because of this, I have been neglecting several things in my life, this site being one of them. Rest assured though, everyone who sent [...]

I have received several bounced emails recently with virus attachements and a couple of emails from people who thought that they received the klez virus from me. I checked the headers from the original email and it is coming from someone in Ottawa, not from my computer. Actually, contact@commando.org is an alias email address and [...]

Kevin Painchaud has submitted desktop wallpaper for the site in two sizes. I am so impressed with the work he put into it that I have decided to host them myself and make them available to everyone. Here is a reduced preview version, but you really need to download one of the full size versions [...]

The ice storm continues and I still can’t get out of my driveway (I knew I shouldn’t have sold my 4WD truck.) I can’t bring myself to watch daytime TV, so instead I have been continuing to update the site. If you click on the War Stories link you will notice that I have re-organized [...]

I am trapped at home today by the freak spring ice storms, so I have managed to get more photos scanned in and uploaded to the photo albums on the site. Head over and you will find 4 new shots in the Unit Training section and 20 new shots in the Somalia section of the [...]

Opps, I was upgrading the forums today to newer and more powerful forums, but in the process I nuked the database and lost everything! That means that all of the great posts that have been written and all user accounts have been lost. I am really sorry, but what is done is done, so we [...]

I have completely reworked the photos section of the site and I have added several new photos. I would like to thank Ralph Pochadt, Rémi Gilbert, Gord Runtz, Jim Allen and Bob MacAlister for sending photos and other information to me. Together we can make this the best Drop Zone RV on the net. So, [...]
