Gone for 24 Sunsets
on: January 18, 2004, 06:42:28 am
I'm heading off for my yearly stint in protecting my country (reserves), so I'll be much less active around here than ususal for the next 24 days. Officially I'll be in from Jan. 19th to Feb. 11th.

I'll have email access (thank God for cellular phones and GPRS), and perhaps even browsing capability, so I won't be completely cut off. If you need to contact me, just send an email through the forums and I'll get it when I get it.

Play nicely while I'm gone! :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Good luck!:)

More like watch Black Hawk Down, so I'm prepared for what I might face. ;) It was partly filmed here, after all.

And yeah, this'll be the first time I have my Sony DSC-V1, so I plan on enjoying the 4x zoom and IR modes immensely. ;)

I fail to see how it's a fence when it's made of huge stone blocks.

The majority of it is an actual wire-mesh fence, but that doesn't make for good media photos. The concrete barricades are only used along certain high-risk sections IIRC.

Off I go! Later, all!
