Literally minutes pre-departure for airport. Borrowed a Kodak DC-215 digital camera, and just got it up and running with gPhoto in literally seconds! Much impressed with both camera and software. Otherwise, all preparations are either complete or fallen by the wayside due to time constraints. Maybe when I get back I'll split this (now huge) page up once again.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
