Updated space-related Excel
workbooks! They are bundled together in a ZIP file, which you can download here. The workbooks in the package include a
new version of "Starship," allowing design of several ships,
"Startrade," a workbook designed by Todd
Kes (be sure to adjust spam protection of email addy) based on my Interstellar Trade article, and "Speedcost," a workbook
for modeling the relationship between cargo ship travel speed and shipping
costs. As with the earlier release of the "Starship" worksheet,
the parameters differ somewhat from those in my article, and the C programs on my Simulation I'll post full explanations and discussion of them soon! :) Starship Tools (8/1/01)
Okay, yeah ... so there's nothing much here yet! Well, actually there are a couple of things - ship drawings I've uploaded in order to link them from bulletin boards, but have never linked from the Tarrantry page. So here they are: HTMS Trevanne (laid down 1937), 9 x 14", 37,700 tons std, 31 kts. HTMS Sans Souci (laid down 1920), 12 x 8", 16,500 tons std, 32 kts.
I should have had a review of Moulin Rouge - an excellent film that got mixed reviews, and even the favorable ones mostly missed the point. (Also, Nicole Kidman is a major babe.) But I shilly-shallied about updating my site. By now it's mostly out of the theaters, so if you didn't see it you've probably missed your chance. So sue me ... -- Rick Robinson
