So one of these days I'll get around to posting the 587 pictures I took while I was in Sydney this year to speak at MXDU. Today isn't the day, but for your viewing pleasure I thought I'd pick out my 2 favorite images to share with you.
The week that I was down there saw mostly overcast weather with lots of rain and thunder. This first image was taken right after a heavy downpour when the sun was starting to poke through some clouds. This is looking across Darling Harbour from the Novotel Hotel, and is probably one of the best pictures I've ever taken..
While the conference was only 2 days, I decided to take some vacation from work and spend as much time in Sydney as possible. One of the stops in my sightseeing adventures was the Toronga Zoo. Apparently they don't feed their giraffes enough there.. You'll need to see the enlarged image to see what I mean.
If you want the high res version of any of these images, just shoot me an email. I'll be happy to send them to you. Please do not steal or reproduce these images without my permission. Chances are I'll give you permission to use them, but you need to ask me first.
Hey Darron, what ever happened to that compiler you were talking about?
After I get back from Washington DC this weekend with my fiance Jen (to celebrate finishing up her junior semester in college), I'll post about progress and what's in store for the near future. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.

BTW, "fiance" is the dude and "fiancee" is the chick.

Damn, that "after storm" picture is awesome! Ah, happy memories of MXDU! I wouldn't mind a hi-res copy of that to use as a desktop, tx!

You wouldn't believe how many pictures I took of that skyline... maybe I'll get mine online too - before next year :)

Your link to the MXDU site is wrong. It should link to http://www.mxdu.com/.

Good catch, I fixed the link. Sometimes I try to type too fast and my fingers get tied in knots. :-)

How about getting married in Sydney (when the weather's better). We did (on our own)(and we're from Belgium)!
