Nick Urban commented on Tommy Neubauer's blog post A True Atrocity
"I just heard about this last night, I was wondering how long it would take to show up here. I can't say this is surprising, honestly I thought we'd see an attempt like this sooner. I think we're still a long way from someone managing to make a drone…"

Nick Urban commented on James's blog post UAV as Aerial Mapping & GIS platform, build from scratch

Nick Urban replied to Nick Wadman's discussion Windows 7
"I'm using Windows 7 x64 and everything works really well. I'd definitely recommend 7 over XP. XP is a nice operating system, but it's somewhat outdated. 7 has quite a few improvements over XP, and is a lot more polished than Vista.
