Technical Bulletins Database Uploaded and Live!
JD Smith just got done today uploading the Technical Bulletins, over 100 of them! Go to the Tech Corner, and Click on "The Tech Bulletins" . You will find all of these bulletins from the old CVOA Magazines and other Regional Newsletters. Such an amazing amount of info for every CVOA owner. The database is even "searchable" by key words!
Thank You JD! This is absolutely phenomenal!

Thanks John, and thank you Shawn Parsons for sending me the big PDF file. I used Adobe Acrobat to split each bulletin into it's on file, then renamed each one with unique title. Loaded them into the CVOA cloud storage at cloudinary .com. Then I created a database in our site consisting of the bulletin number, title, and external URL to the cloud. Finally, I wrote code to allow string search on title. After I finished I was not 100% happy with the original result which had that very long cloudinary Url you had to click on, and it opened the PDF bulletin in a new window. If you were not paying attention you might think it did nothing. So... as Tim Taylor used to say on "Tool Time", "I can improve it, so I re-wired it".
The new interface has an Adobe PDF icon on each line. Clicking on the icon will open the Tech Bulletin in a popup window for your viewing pleasure.
I don't know how many times I have sat down with my three ring binder of the printed copies and flipped thru them looking for something that I knew was there.
Enjoy the new feature.
JD
