Okay, I *really* have to stop these types of photographs. Jeff, damn you.

I can't imagine why you would ever want to get the train to the top of Snowdonia when there is so much to see when you walk up. Where is the sense of achievement?

Why do I look somewhat thin in this photo but up close thin becomes fat? </woman>

I went climbing in Llanberris, Wales a couple of weeks ago and only just got my slides back. Declan on the side of Snowdonia.

Grr, baby grr..

The hand of God.

Spot the monkey.

Yeah, very touchy feely.

It was the first time I had met Gary Little. Over the phone he seems like a really genuine, knowledgeable guy. It gives you a little bit more faith in marketing people.

Havoc Pennington. Chairman of the GNOME Foundation Board. Chairman of suave, girly drinks.

I figure Jacob is destined to sit in a pet shop window...I dunno why...any reason that I come up with is far too disturbing.

Nils joined Stephen, Bill and myself as part of the Sun representation for the Boston summit - it was good to see him again.

Miguel, meet Nat.

Nat, meet Miguel.

Ximian Inc are a fun company. I'm happy that Sun have a contract with these guys.

If pictures could tell a 100 words......

Even though this sounds extremely odd, I'm really looking forward to meeting up with these guys again.

Arrived at Boston airport to a lovely 1 hour queue to get past immigration and another 1 hour queue to get to the top of the car hire queue. But time seemed to fly and I was soon sitting in Bukowskis...home of the famous beer jerky beer.

My hats get everywhere.

Domhnall has left for Perth, Australia. He's been my climbing partner for quite a while and has pushed me up things I've never dreamed of climbing. I really miss him.

Well, it's been about 10 years since the last tractor...so it was really only a matter of time..and those grey hairs aren't getting any better.

My parents decided to visit Barcelona to see my sister, who is living there for a year studying. I really should have done the same..but so little time.

It's amazing how far you will travel in exploration of freedom...and rock. By land..by air...and by sea.

My parents have been involved building a wooden building as an extension to the church. They even got a trip to Sweden to see the place where these wooden houses were constructed. They even got to meet the president. I prefer the trip to Sweden personally.

I will miss this place if I ever decide to leave it. There are so many parts of Ireland that are so mystical - it's amazing how corney that sounds yet so true to the experience of following that ridge line in Kerry.

But those group of climbers did find the beautiful rock afterall.

A while back a group of climbers in search of some beautiful rock. Instead they found a beautiful beach and beautiful shells.

I always wondered why churches went into such glory from an architectural point of view - does God really care?

The Irish weather has been so terrible that I've not seen this sight for such a long time. Where have you gone my friend?

I've been kinda slack at keeping my photojournal recently - but it has been an opportunity to delve into my old photo collection.
