Building 008, which houses the ITSO (I'm on the 2nd floor, which is the middle row of windows). |

Building 012, the main (first) building at the site (I thought it was Building 001, but it's not). |

My desk! Those who have worked with me will not believe, since it's tidy... ;) |

Me, hard at work at my tidy desk, on a good day (I'm smiling) |

Part of the "Roll of Honour" in the Center Corridor in Building 008.
Each little square you see on the wall is a photo of a previous resident. |

More of the "Roll of Honour". These are some of the Redbooks
published recently (their covers, at least). |

More of the "Roll of Honour". These are photos of current
residents (I'm bottom row, second from the left!). |

What it's all about. Peace, Love and Linux, high above Times Square. |

| times02.jpg |
Times Square, looking north. This was about 9:30am on a Sunday morning, so it's a bit
more subdued than it would usually be (or so I'm told).

Looking south this time. The video screens on the building in the distance are each as large as the
screens at the footy grounds at home - and they're not the largest ones in NYC.
This view is possibly most famous for the New Year's Eve celebrations: the pole at the top is
where the new year's globe descends at midnight. |

The Statue of Liberty, from Battery Park (I was too cheap to pay to go over). The Staten Island Ferry
is the vessel in mid-ground. |

The Brooklyn Bridge, from the observation deck of the World Trade Centre. The east end of the Manhattan
Bridge is also visible. |

A wider view, the borough of Brooklyn to the right of shot, the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, and the
majestic (?) East River (which is technically not actually a river anyway). |

The Big Apple. This is looking north from the observation floor of the World Trade Centre. Although it
looks hazy, the visibility was excellent. You have to remember we're 107 floors up, and that the Empire
State Building (tallest point, centre of shot) is nearly 9km away... |

| sacks5av.jpg |
This was a photo opp for two reasons: the signpost that says "5 AV", and the building with more American
flags that I'd seen at one time. It wasn't until after I took the photo that I found out the building is
Sacks department store, a name recognised almost anywhere in the world. |

| grandcen.jpg |
The main hall of Grand Central Station. One of those places I just always wanted to see. The clock in
the middle of the hall is one of the most recognised meeting places in the city (apparently). |
