Friday Photo – Sunset over the Olympic village, Barcelona

Olympic Village - Comms Tower
I took this back in 2004 when I was in Barcelona with the football club for a tournament. We visited the Olympic stadium to watch an Espanyol game and took this on the way home.

Eastern Europe Trip ’07

This is a legacy post about myself and Paddy’s trip to Eastern Europe, specifically Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava in October 2007. We flew into Bratislava first, thanks to Ryanair, and headed straight to the train station. We’d hit Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava in that order as the cities are quite close together. Certain things struck me as strange about Bratislava: the man carrying a dog on his shoulders was a prime example. Our journey is outlined in an extended entry below:

Booked in for Future of Web Apps, London

I booked this conference the other night. It’s a Web2 type deal with a few high-profile speakers like Kevin Rose, Om Malik, Matt Mullenweg and Michael Arrington. They’ll be filming an episode of Diggnation on the Wednesday night so that should be good. If anyone is going or wants to meet up while over there, drop me a comment below.

Back

Well I’m back from Orlando. That doesn’t quite sum up the whole trip or the nightmare journey home but this is a promise that I will have photos and the full blog entry by the end of the week. 🙂 I’m presently sifting through almost 800 photos that myself and Aido took to find the best ones to go up on Flickr. I bought a new Nikon Coolpix P2 camera over there and made use of the 1Gb card I bought with it. In fact, I almost filled it.

Hectic

Wow, the past week has been hectic in Orlando. We’ve done so much in such a small amount of time. That includes visiting Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Universal Studios, The Hard Rock, NBA City Restaurant. In fact I’m struggling to remember all that we’ve done. I found a nice little internet cafe located in the Mini Golf place opposite the hotel so I’ll be posting a full entry (with pics Dave) tomorrow at some stage. We’re travelling to Cape Canaveral in the morning so it won’t be a late night tonight. The weather has been good but not too hot, thankfully. 🙂 Apparently it’s particularly hot at home with tempatures in the 30s. Poor feckers, at least there’s something to do out here besides work. Take to ye tomorrow so. 😀
